Mindfulness, Empowerment and Embodiment
“The Personal Power session was my favorite of the entire conference! Cara was an EXCELLENT presenter and the participants were so engaged. It affected me deeply!” “This was a very informative and inspiring offering. Cara has a wonderfully calming and inviting presence. She was able to address different perspectives while keeping the whole group focused.” |
“Cara has a clear and gentle style and kept us engaged with experiential training. I got practical tools that I applied immediately to my work and life.”
