Carla's Roots/Philosophy/Approach
I’W
been where you are now
For much of my early adult life,
I was terrified of speaking. I’ve felt the debilitating
anxiety a speaking situation can create.
So I took what I’d learned over many years as a stress
management consultant, yoga and dance teacher, meditation
teacher, and Tai Chi practitioner, Speaking
Circle® facilitator along with my educational
background in psychology (and my masters in business), and
created a program that really addresses your underlying fear.
My Personal Approach to Life
and Work
I am my own experiment and life
is my laboratory. When I find some particular blend
that feels especially useful to me, I then seek ways to share
this with others.
I create safe containers which offer experiences where you
can:
- Discover, express, and embody your
joyful, authentic, and creative presence.
- Gently encounter and move beyond
the edges created by your limiting beliefs.
- Actualize your full potential
- Speak and listen to others from a place of full presence
I am a synergist. I borrow shamelessly from all the
traditions, practices, and approaches I have studied. Into
every program I facilitate I mix:
 |
- Some Speaking Circles
- Some Focusing
- A little bit of mindfulness
- A little bit of photography
- Some yoga, dance, and tai
chi
- A lot of myself
|
I
am always seeking to express what I have learned in ways that
touch people's minds, imagination and hearts.
I find that I often get bored with a straight didactic explanation
of theories and concepts. I feel that metaphor, images,
and movement can greatly enhance our understanding of what
is normally only conveyed through a straight verbal description
of the theory. New dimensions and subtle aspects of
the topic become evident in this multi-modal exploration.
And, as I work to express the ideas in a new modality, I gain
a much richer and more comprehensive understanding of
the topic at hand.
Past examples of my multi-modal thinking include:
Why “RiverWays”?
| 
The river is my metaphor.
|

It is also a place of adventure,
where I can ride the rapids, take myself to the edge,
and feel a sense of exhilaration, energy, and aliveness.
|
| It is my guide.
|
It is a place
of profound joy, ineffable sadness, dazzling clarity,
and breathless wonder. |
| It is the
place where I encounter myself, speak to the Divine, and
find solace, peace and rest. |
The river
without has guided me to the river within. And as I ride
the currents and rapids and rest in the still pools, I
find myself moving closer and closer to the vast ocean
of essence.
