About

We conduct in person, local workshops and well-being events. Personal interaction allows for a more dynamic experience of individualized learning. A group setting can give greater context to our practices. It is an opportunity to explore what is important to us. Connect with us for your next step in learning, practice and experience.

My journey of daily meditation started about 20 years ago. I have gained the common benefits of decreased stress, better focus and clarity, feeling centered and improved well-being. In addition to this, the deeper and more spiritual aspects of meditation have anchored me the most.

When I first started this part of my spiritual path, I had no idea of where it would go. I did not expect that meditation would become such an important part of my life. My understandings and beliefs have evolved so much that I continue to be amazed at God’s grace in things.

I like to teach and share. There is much enjoyment, I find, in discovering what we have in common and what different perspectives we embrace. There are many parts of my path and understandings that I hold close to my heart. I also see the many common and more universal perspectives that we all share. My goal is to connect with others through these more universal understandings that we may find what we need to grow.

With great hope, thoughtfulness and fortitude, I have decided to bring what I have learned along the way, to you. It feels important to not keep it all to myself. My intention is to support others with these workshops and tools as they discover the next steps on their own journey. I also believe that the best teachers stay humble and strive to ever be a student as well. May we all continue to learn and grow.

Kristie helps me to see more of the love, beauty and joy in many things. She is the kindest and most authentic person I have known. I learn and am inspired so much by her.

One of the few things I have ever known for sure is that I enjoy caring for others. I believe in the beauty of the human experience, and that communication is a cornerstone of connections.

My journey leading to this chapter of life began nearly 20 years ago. It was in massage school that I began learning about a more holistic and comprehensive approach to health and wellness. These new-to-me ideas brought a much needed balance to the western model of wellness I primarily grew up with. Balance being the key word here.

I like to think of myself as middle of the road. I believe that there are many aspects to wellness and wholeness. I have experienced how lifestyle choices make a significant impact on health and our ability to thrive. I feel encouraged when I meet others that are proactive in discovering what combination of things support them best. As I continue to learn and grow, I enjoy holding space for others that are doing the same.

I am excited to join in on the Fortitude journey. I am grateful to have the opportunity to continue exploring the many paths that lead to balance, wholeness, and peace.

Shane is practical, thought provoking, and empowering. He is one of the most unique people I have ever had deep and important conversations with. He stands out as the only person that has ever been so supportive of me embracing my spiritual path and personal growth without telling me that I should believe what he believes. He holds space beautifully for those in discovery, and he shines when he can share what he has learned as well.
