Group Experiences

Working with groups has been part of my path for years - multi-day retreats, daylong unfoldment labs, mindfulness courses, custom workshops for teams and communities, and co-facilitated retreats.

My approach is rooted in creating a well-held container - grounded in presence, attunement, and trust - for individual and collective unfolding. I'm committed to staying attuned and responsive to what's arising in the group field.

Sessions tend to weave together teaching, guided practice, small-group practice, and integration - engaging head, heart, and body.

Themes I tend to work with include:

  • Parts work and the shift into Presence

  • Befriending the inner critic and freeing ourselves from the trance of unworthiness

  • Trust, resourcing, and resilience in this time between worlds

  • Coming alive to our innate wholeness, creativity, and aliveness

  • Mindfulness and contemplative practice for everyday life

"I feel calmer, more grounded, and more JOY after doing this retreat. I accessed the strong, wise, and centered part of myself that serves me in my life more than the stress and anxiety voices. I also made some new friends and had a lot of fun. I just love Sarah-Marie's facilitation style. She is patient and supportive, and she leaves a lot of space for answers… I'm just very impressed overall - and I facilitate a lot of groups, so I know quality when I see it. Highly recommended - especially for perfectionists and other high-achievers who are growth-minded."
