I offer presentations and workshops to large and small groups, in conference halls, churches, offices, and living rooms, tailoring my message to the participants. For larger gatherings, I often weave in images, songs, and poetry to enhance the message. When in more intimate workshops, I bring in discussion and writing processes to deepen and personalize the information I’m sharing.
