SAVE THE DATE: Public Workshop – Relationships: Collaboration 10/22/11 - 9:00am-5:00pm. Location: Tiburon, CA

"I have often utilized the rich stories from Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. as guiding visions for my workshops at Esalen® Institute and throughout the Bay Area. For my upcoming women's retreat, we will work together on a powerful teaching story, The Red Shoes from Estes' book Women Who Run with the Wolves. We will confront our unique "traps, cages and poisoned bait" that cause us to suffer "starvation of the soul" and loss of primary instinct. These traps get reflected in our relationships, and can cause us to sacrifice our creativity, lose our courage and follow empty and draining pursuits. Together, we will find support, inspiration, and courage as we penetrate deeper and gather insight so we can return to our rightful place-"our rightful wild mind".

Please join me and other women in our community as we take this unique journey to reclaim our true nature. We will work, play and soften into our powerful inner recognition."

Dr Frisch invites you to join together with other women for this day of personal retreat – a day to connect the dots on your map of awareness, development and transformation. Much can be accomplished within our resonant community of women.
This retreat is open to all women.
