These offerings are great for the workplace, teams, families, friends, or other groups who would like to share meaningful time-- for example, to reconnect as a team, to kick off a strategic planning session, or to set the stage for tackling new challenges together.

They can be utilized in a number of different settings, such as at a work meeting, at an organization’s retreat, in your home for a group of friends or a book club, or at a third space that fits your specific needs.

The team loved the group Focusing session for our Wellness Friday! From our pre-session consultation, to the session itself, Meg welcomed us with love and care and listened with intention. She guided us through several practices tailored to our needs and shared tools for how we can practice Focusing in our own lives. We left feeling lighter, grounded, and hopeful. Highly recommend booking this for your group!”
