Rebecca’s work demonstrates how we can restore the planet’s resource base while meeting our needs for food, fuel, fiber and flora. Kimberly will describe efforts to convert customers to recycling food and other organic waste so it becomes part of the solution rather than going into landfill, where it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.<br /><br /><br />Saturday, January 23 | 9:00 – Noon<br />Bay Model Visitor Center<br />2100 Bridgeway Blvd., Sausalito, CA <br /><br /><b>Speakers</b><br /><br />Dr. Jeffrey Creque, Director of Rangeland and Agro-ecosystem Management, <a href="http://www.carboncycle.org/" target="_blank">Carbon Cycle Institute</a><br />Torri Estrada, Executive Director, <a href="http://www.carboncycle.org/" target="_blank">Carbon Cycle Institute</a><br />Rebecca Burgesse, Executive Director of the<a href="http://www.fibershed.com/" target="_blank"> Fibershed Project</a><br />Kimberly Scheibly, Municipal Contracts & Communications Manager, Marin Sanitary Service<br />Jeff Stump, <a href="http://www.malt.org/" target="_blank">MALT</a> Director of Conservation<br /><br />Saturday sessions: $20* in advance / $25* at the door.<br /><br />Admission free to students with a high school or college ID.<br />* Lecture discounts based on membership status.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492585045309203701.post-37585933514945744942016-01-12T20:50:00.000-08:002016-01-12T20:50:27.297-08:00Beyond Emissions Reductions: Carbon Capture Strategies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The hands-on activity at the Bioneers Conference was the
culmination of what started out as a class<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Master Class 41 classmates Aurora Mahassine and Dan Monte together with over
100 volunteers planted and launched two floating islands in the Civic Center
lagoon.</div>

<span style="background: white;">Oriental Medicine is based on an energetic model
rather than the biochemical model of Western Medicine. The ancient Chinese
recognized a vital energy behind all life forms and life processes. They called
this energy qi (pronounced Chee).</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white;">Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture</span><br />
</b><br />
<span style="background: white;">Acupuncture is a medical technique of inserting
and manipulating filiform needles into particular points on the body, with the
aim of restoring health and wellbeing. Acupuncture is thought to have
originated in China and is most commonly associated with TCM. TCM comprises a
range of traditional medical practices that developed over several thousand
years including theories, diagnosis and treatments such as herbal medicine,
acupuncture and massage. TCM is a form of so-called Oriental Medicine which
includes other traditional East Asian medical systems such as traditional
Japanese and Korean Medicine.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">TCM theory asserts that processes of the human body
are interrelated and in constant interaction with the environment. Signs of
disharmony help the TCM practitioner understand, treat and prevent illness and
disease.</span><br />
<br /><b>
<span style="background: white;">Japanese Acupuncture</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Acupuncture came to Japan 1,300 years ago from
China through Korea, and has been refined to become a whole independent system
of practice. Differing from Chinese acupuncture, Japanese acupuncturists use
thin, fine needles with insertion tubes that are very gentle and relatively
painless. While Chinese acupuncturists would ask their patients whether or not
they felt the strong needling sensation which is often unbearable to American
patients, Japanese acupuncturists cause minor pain to the patient as the doctor
would “feel” the qi themselves.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Japanese acupuncture is also different from
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture in point selection. While TCM
acupuncture chooses treatment points by herbal diagnosis (also called
“herbalized acupuncture” by Bob Flaws). Japanese acupuncture chooses points
purely by classical energetic principles of yin, yang and five elements.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white;">Treatment</span><br />
</b><br />
<span style="background: white;">The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes
acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine’s ability to treat over 43 common
disorders including Gastrointestinal Disorders, Urogenital Disorders,
Gynecological Disorders, Respiratory Disorders, Disorders of the Bones,
Muscles, Joints and Nervous System, Circulatory Disorders, Emotional and
Psychological Disorders, Addictions, Eye-Ear-Nose and Throat Disorders as well
as supportive therapy for other chronic and painful disorders.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white;">Acupuncture
for infants and children</span><br />
</b><br />
<span style="background: white;">Needleless treatment is primarily used for young
children. Studies have shown that it is useful for treating jaundice in
newborns. Infants and babies can also be successfully treated for colic,
earache, ADHD, temper tantrums, crying at night, bedwetting, asthma, allergies,
eczema and skin rashes.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Have you locked yourself into an unloving relationship?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Addressing all relationships: partners, family and work. Safe. Confidential.<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT ARE "BIDS FOR CONNECTION"</b><br />
<br />
A BID FOR CONNECTION is an attempt to create a CONNECTION between two people to keep the relationship going forward.<br />
<br />
It is FINDING A DEEPER MOTIVATION TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE in spite of hurt and anger: <br />
<br />
It is CONNECTING IN A DEEPER WAY WITH OUR SPOUSE OR PARTNER, OUR CHILDREN, OUR COWORKERS, OUR PARENTS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Remedy:</b> Learn your unique attachment style (PREOCCUPIED, AVOIDANT, SECURE); how does the lack of trust and past hurt determine your interactive style.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Reclaiming:</b> Give yourself a tremendous amount of SELF-empathy and compassion within the context of a caring therapist. Reclaiming the hurt, lost and disowned parts of the self.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Reconnecting</b> AND RECOGNIZING YOUR FEELINGS to FIND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE FOR YOURSELF so that you can learn to move beyond hurt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Recovery:</b> Going back for the lost parts of ourselves, integrating the hurt, metabolizing the grief.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Replenishment:</b> Finding the dreams behind the conflict. To understand and experience what compassion for the self and others feels like.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Resources:</b> Discover the resources and gifts in our hidden emotions. What would it mean to get past the anger, anxiety and depression and be the beneficiary of your own energy?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Building: Experience love as a feeling -- otherwise AS a commodity we CAN never have enough of IT.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>TOOLS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b>WE LEARN HOW TO trust, stemming from our early childhood experiences, blueprints and impressions that carry over in our day to day experiences. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Discover THE TOOLS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SO YOU CAN trust yourself and your partner MORE:</div>
<ol>
<li>The Universal laws of love based on nonviolent communication</li>
<li>The essential ingredient of love is the power behind vulnerability</li>
<li>Finding the confidence to stand up to everyday conflict in relationships at the work place and home</li>
<li>The Art of showing and receiving empathy</li>
<li>Why requests and needs are repeatedly not met, and what you can do about it</li>
<li>Requests as camouflaged demands, Recognizing Hidden Emotions</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Learn AND RELY ON EVIDENCE -BASED STANFORD research-proven tools that help create positive changes in your relationships</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
We all have felt and feared our vulnerability, yet this essential ingredient is what truly connects us. This therapy will show you how to have a RELATIONSHIP THAT WORKS.<br />
<br />
<b>CONFLICT</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
By Having The Courage --Things CAN AND Do Get Better!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PEOPLE ASK: Why can’t I seem to feel better? The answer goes back to our beliefs about people, places and things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Therapy works when it involves a trusting relationship with a therapist who gives you the exact tools to get out of the predicament you are in. While empathy is one key element of therapy, it is not enough alone to single-handedly change your behavior.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
If your childhood was filled with uncertainty, disregard, neglect or violence, chances are some of your problems in relationships may stem from wanting to keep people at a distance to determine whether or not people or situations are safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Finding the Capacity to Be Happy and Experience Contentment</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The source of anxiety and depression is often unexpressed feelings. The impossible demand that we be "nice" at the expense of ourselves -- leaving us at the risk of anyone truly knowing who we are.<br />
<br />
<b>FORGIVENESS</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Have you locked yourself into an unloving relationship?<br />
<br />
Master the ability to forgive yourself and others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A safe confidential space where you can work through your feelings of loss, hurt and grief, whether THE LOSS IS recent, or long ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The purpose of the Practicing The Art of Forgiveness Group is to provide a safe and compassionate space to share, connect, and learn from others who have had a similar experience. With tools and insight provided by a supportive therapist, group members will have the chance to share experiences, explore feelings and move beyond hurt, and repair relationships through the use of metta (loving kindness) meditation and modern therapeutic tools -- including The Five Secrets. We do deep experiential work in these sessions, so this group is not for everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Practicing The Art of Forgiveness Group meets the first Thursday of the month in San Rafael, CA. Individual session required to ensure that this group meets your individual goals.<br />

<b>FELDENKRAIS CLASSES</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Awareness through Movement® Classes<br /> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Feldenkrais®</b> – Awareness through Movement® (ATM) is a neuro-muscular re-education technique. Developed by physicist, engineer and martial artist, Moshe Feldenkrais, it is a self-healing after a paralyzing accident. He applied the principles of physics to his rehabilitation and was able to become fully functional despite the words of his physicians. His peers were so astonished that they asked him to teach them and a new healing technique was born.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Awareness through Movement® exercises are guided by a certified Feldenkrais® practitioner. They are done on the floor (using a mat) in a relaxed, effortless state out of the field of gravity. The emphasis is on being aware of ones limits and working within those boundaries allowing for a gentle release of tension and holding in the musculature. Thus one learns from their own body and allows the body to reprogram the mind-body connections freeing one from habitual patterns that constrain the body and movement. The overall goal is to decrease holding patterns that limit function.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Feldenkrais integrates movement with thinking, feeling and sensing; it can also expand your potential in other areas, particularly creativity and problem solving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Awareness through Movement® exercises enhances the learning of Tai Chi.</div>

regional currency that aims to foster economic justice and resilience in the
greater Bay Area. It solves the problem of the lack of cash in communities,
which causes a downward poverty spiral. It also democratizes money as it
enables participating members to create Bay Bucks as and when they need it. The
money each member creates is backed by their own goods and services. Bay Bucks
is not convertible to US dollars. This means 100% of Bay Bucks re-circulates in
the region to build local prosperity.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Bill Hool, the writer of A Warrior Mind, is promoting good
health through understanding the emotional component of illness. His belief is
that only when negative emotions can be eliminated from an individuals
mind-body can true health be realized. He says that although diet, exercise,
and nutrition are important they are, as science is proving, all secondary to a
positive mental attitude or BEING HAPPY.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In other words, the human body will always perform less effectively if
one is emotionally drained by fear, shame, anger, or loneliness and no amount
of physical activity or conditioning will truly compensate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bill is constantly searching the internet for the latest
scientific studies that point up the importance of understanding how emotions
impact our health and, when he finds them, he posts them under categories so
that the reader can explore whichever negative emotion is pertinent to them.
And, when he finds posts that give clues as to how to deal with those negative
emotions, he posts those as well. He also lists the steps he has found helpful
to him in eliminating negative emotions and he lists them under FOUR STEPS on
the website. </div>

Bill says his interest in the mind-body began when, at
twenty years of age, he faced a life-threatening illness and came to realize
the importance of emotions on health. Since that time he has made it his goal
to promote the importance of understanding and eliminating negative emotions
through mindful awareness. Bill has been, among other things, a police sergeant
for 17 years, a registered nurse for 28 years, a small business owner for 23
years, and an elementary school teacher. He is presently employed by the City
of San Francisco, Dept. of Public Health as an RN within Jail Medical Services.

<br />
The San Francisco Bay estuary and many associated wetlands in Marin have been added to a list of protected areas under a 1971 international treaty among 163 countries meant to limit damaging development along ecologically important waterways.<br />
<br />
Ramsar Convention officials on Friday announced the U.S. government had added the bay as the nation's 35th "wetland of importance" under the treaty. The designation takes effect Saturday, World Wetlands Day.<br />
While the designation will not result in new legally-binding protections for wildlife and habitat in the bay, it does focus international pressure on agencies to step up conservation efforts and may lead to additional funding for wetland restoration. The designation also means the country is committed to not promoting projects that alter designated ecosystems.<br />
<br />
"This designation should be a point of pride for anyone living in the larger San Francisco Bay Area," said Beth Huning, coordinator of the Marin-based San Francisco Bay Joint Venture. "Despite intense urban pressures, San Francisco Bay nonetheless endures as one of our country's great natural treasures."<br />
<br />
There are a number of waterways and wetlands in Marin that are part of the designation: Richardson Bay, Corte Madera Marsh Ecological Reserve, Marin Islands, Petaluma Marsh (which includes Bahia), Angel Island, China Camp, parts of Olampali, Bel Marin Keys, Simmons Slough, Tiscornia Marsh, Triangle Marsh, San Rafael tidelands, Beach Park, Gallinas Marsh, Pickleweed Park and a number of other smaller sites.<br />
<br />
San Francisco Bay is the largest estuary — about 400,000 acres — on the Pacific Coast and it is widely recognized as one of North America's most ecologically important estuaries. It accounts for 77 percent of California's remaining wetlands, providing key habitat for a broad suite of flora and fauna — over 1,000 species of animals, including native and conservation status species, including wintering shorebirds.<br />
<br />
It also provides a range of ecological services such as flood protection, water quality maintenance, nutrient filtration and cycling, and carbon sequestration.<br />
<br />
Melissa Pitkin, spokeswoman for PRBO Conservation Science — the former Point Reyes Bird Observatory — said decades of research led to this designation.<br />
<br />
In 1998 the Bolinas Lagoon was given a similar designation. That body of water is home to 23 rare, threatened and endangered species and 50,000 migratory birds that come though every year.<br />
<br />
"It is a great day for the bay and a gesture of promise for its future protection," Hunning said of the designation of San Francisco Bay. "We have entered an era of restoration, a renaissance of the bay."<br />

Coaches focus on the strategic and physical components of competition and technical skills, however, sports psychology professionals strive to enhance the minds of athletes to help identify triggers that negatively impact performance. As a result athletes are more equipped to handle the pressures of competition, overcome negative thoughts or beliefs, enter the zone more easily and remain focused for longer periods of time. All of these skills lead to improved performance and a stronger, champion mindset!</p> <p style="margin: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><strong>What services are provided by a sport psychology professional?</strong></p> <p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Mental Game professionals work with individuals, groups and organizations on the psychological factors which performance such as:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Confidence Development</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Focus/Concentration Skills</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Composure in Competitive Environments</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Goal Setting</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Pre-Game Routine Development</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Positive Self Talk</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Distraction Control</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Tool for Relaxation</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Solutions to Burnout</span></li> <li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> Parent Education</span></li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Mission</strong>:</p> <p style="margin: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The mission of the Protex Sports Psychology Programs is to promote the student and professional athlete’s mental game learning and development.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">On March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese was returning home from work as a bar manager in New York. She parked her car and walked towards her apartment, just a 100 feet away. Suddenly she heard footsteps racing behind her. Before she could react, the assailant stabbed her twice. Screaming at the top of her lungs, she cried for help; repeatedly. No one came. She died two hours later.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">As investigators and reporters began piecing the story together, they were shocked by the lack of citizen intervention. At least two dozen people heard the screams over a 30-minute time span. Politicians, psychologists and clergymen were outraged, calling it another example of our apathetic social decay.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">But two psychologists weren’t so sure. They wanted to know why Kitty was offered no help. Over the course of the next year, they conducted a series of experiments in crowded and private situations to understand what triggers and doesn’t trigger a response from bystanders. Here’s what they discovered:</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Crowds behave like schools of fish – they group think. If there are no reactions to a stimulus, no one in the crowd will act. They found that “no one wants to stands out in a crowd.” This was proven time and time again as experiments were conducted on busy New York streets.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">But as they tweaked their experiments, they finally discovered the answer and what instigates a reaction.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In today’s version of the “bystander effect,” one of our most precious socially important industries continue to pattern their future in the same methods as the past. As funds continue to dry up, many nonprofit agencies continue to seek financial help by using a single method of revenue generation: writing grants.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In comparison, a growing legion of innovative nonprofits across the globe are building “social enterprises,” and generating income through their own sales and services. One important result of this type of income is that grant-makers are more inclined to approve funds to organizations that are proving their ability to diversify their resources and gain greater self-sufficiency.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">So in collaboration between Renaissance Marin and the Marin Community Foundation, we’re launching our best effort to break the bystander effect. Open to the first 20 nonprofits, this is an opportunity for agencies to learn the methods for building their own social enterprises. Think about the alternative: stay steady on your current course and watch your grant dollars diminish. The cost is also exceptionally affordable with some tuitions at $100 - less than seven percent of a popular national training program.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is the one and only time we’ll be offering this training in 2013. The program is tailored made for nonprofits with little or no experience with business modeling. Not only will you learn all the essentials, you’ll have an opportunity to pitch your concepts to a panel of well accomplished business and social entrepreneurs. For ten groups that finish this two-month program, personal consultation will be provide to help you take your concepts to reality.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In addition, the workshops have been developed to respect your busy schedule. We’ll be meeting once every Thursday morning for three hours during the eight-week program starting January 31.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">To get all the information, we urge you to attend the upcoming orientation on Thursday, Dec. 13; 10am at Renaissance Marin, 1115 3</span><sup style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">rd</sup><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Street, San Rafael.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">This program is specific to nonprofit agencies in Marin County and highly recommended for organizations receiving their funding through MCF.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">For reservations to the orientation, please call us at </span><a href="http://tel:415.755.1115" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">415.755.1115</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you find yourself among of sea of bystanders unwilling to help you, what the researchers found was to target a single individual, get in front and make a plea. They found that tactic was the most effective way to gain help because a single individual when alerted stops group-think and becomes personally responsible. </span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Joanna offers psychotherapy and guidance to people from the Bay Area, Marin, and Sonoma County areas, and coaching and consulting in those areas and beyond. She is dedicated to continue her training, education, collaboration, and consultation for further growth and continuously deepen and mature her skills.</span><br /> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joanna offers individuals and groups assistance with personal growth, teaches the need to come together as community, to listen to one another, and to work together to address the larger picture of integral planetary healing. She also offers consultation services for MFT Trainees and Interns, in addition to practice building consultation services for people in psychology and related professions. She is committed to continued development of these professional endeavors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her work speaks in this way as well…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“In the hushed hours of the night, an old, familiar whisper sighs…something isn’t working. Can you continue to smother the voice that is calling you to all that is real, all that is unlived, unloved, and all that is missing from your waking life? For many people each day is a struggle, a compromise and a resignation. They are just waiting to live. They dream of the other shore where life truly begins. Guiding people to cross over to the other side is my life calling. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I show people how to break lifelong patterns once and for all, so they can end a lifetime of silent suffering. They are finally free to fully express the peace and aliveness that is waiting to pour out of them. It really matters to me that you can learn to be truly happy and not fake happy. Together we can walk through the matrix of the unnatural shadow self you have long carried, and release the life force to create the true desires of your soul. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you reach that real place inside yourself, your instincts are naturally restored and your life begins to flow. You no longer experience burnout, emptiness, or unnecessary separations that cause humans pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you are living from your genuine self there is a native relaxation. Life, love, and work spring from a natural internal state of rest. So do joy, creativity and play.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am here to walk beside you, as your authentic self emerges and you begin to live in the simplicity of your being. I offer you a heart that truly cares and a keenly intuitive perception to witness the gifts awakening inside of you.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Coaching</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coaching is different from psychotherapy or spiritual guidance work in that the process focuses on the development of a new vision of your overall mission in work, personal or other area of life, via the development of specific tasks and goals, and a pragmatic, simple and clear approach to accomplishing and manifesting them within a very specific period of time. Whereas therapy focuses on the underlying feelings, motivations, and underpinnings within any situation, coaching does not delve into these areas, but instead goes directly into the work, action, and movement that is required to move from point A to point B and to embody that work effectively and clearly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I offer the coaching packages below to suit your individual needs. Choose one and begin to embody your authentic life or business spirit, occupational destiny calling and mission now. If you have tried this before and struggled, please come, and begin again today.</div>

<br />
<b>Nothing Beats Fresh Homemade Sorbet from Sweet Peabody’s, a Northern California Mobile Vending Cart</b><br />
<br />
Made in the Napa Valley, Sweet Peabody’s sorbet is handmade weekly in small batches with an emphasis on fresh seasonal flavors. It's available by the scoop or in pre-packaged pints.<br />
<br />
Sweet Peabody’s mobile vending cart can be found at the following Farmer’s Markets:<br />
<br />
Benicia: Thursdays, 4 – 8p.m.<br />

<b>Why Sorbet?</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<br />
By far, the healthiest alternative to ice cream and gelato, sorbet is naturally fat free, and the calorie count can be half that of ice cream.<br />
<br />
It's all dairy and gluten free! Because it's made from fruit you can assure the nutritional value of sorbet. Typically less than 28 grams of sugar per serving so its good for everyone... especially kids!<br />
