Many of the articles posted on this blog eventually led me to the development of the two decks of cards that are now available for purchase on this website: Revealed Presence Story Cards and the Intuitive Directions “game”.
I’m so pleased to announce that I will be offering a new workshop at the Long River Gallery in White River Junction, Vermont. As my long time blog followers know, for many years now I’ve been exploring the ways that a photo can help change our perspective by using it as a spring board to More…
My good friend and colleague, Beth Tener, is a long-time meeting designer and facilitator. Beth is highly skilled at designing meetings that are both collaborative and consequential. She’s now offering three workshops to share what she’s learned about how to design meetings that do more. I highly recommend attending one or more! You might also More…
(This post is part of a series reflecting on the value offered by my Intuitive Directions™ deck and has been reposted to reflect recent changes.) I spent five years in a daily photography practice of “turning on” my eyes to discover beauty in the absolutely ordinary — to begin to see patterns, colors, textures, and More…

I am absolutely delighted to announce the opening of my new exhibit in the lobby of Northern Stage‘s beautiful new Barrette Center for the Arts in White River Junction, Vermont. This is a dream exhibit for me, where I’ve been able to showcase what I consider my best work and several collaborative pieces I’ve done with fiber More…
(This is a reprint of an article I wrote in 2006) “I’m sorry, what is your name, again?” How often have you had to ask that a few minutes after meeting someone? We all do this. During the actual introduction, our minds are focused on anything but the person we are meeting. We are thinking More…
I’ve been especially intrigued by the “Occupy…” movement sweeping not just our country but the entire globe. While I wish I could attend one as I feel very much aligned with this movement, it’s just not been possible given my current circumstances. So, I’ve been watching and listening with interest from afar (mainly through Facebook More…
I’m a strong believer in engaging the whole person in conversation.
