Stanthorpe Communities of Peace

I have worked for more than thirty years as a transpersonal and ecological therapist and more recently in the area of crisis intervention.  I now find myself again pondering the marked escalation of violence in our communities.

This has led me to formulate a small program of experiential workshops that will be held  in Stanthorpe using simple processes to allow a compassionate and non-judging relationship with self, thus changing the way we relate to others and to sustaining the earth.  This program will offer a practical guide to living peacefully. 

Although the workshops will be held in Stanthorpe individual sessions using similar material will be available in Toowoomba. 

All costs are negotiable.

My training is in Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Social Ecology and Body Therapies.
