Thanks to Portland diva-of-all-things-tech-and-alchemical Mary Ginger Williams, I am one of 15 “curated presenters.” Her Small & Mighty Summit features entrepreneurs who build transformational relationships with their clients and customers. Topics range from micro-habits to neuroscience, leadership to self- care. Check out my fellow-herbalist and MUIH-grad Katherine Hofmann ND’s talk on Small & Simple Strategies for Mighty Mental Health. Also Ellie Ballentine’s Magic of Your Mindset – she has given me some very valuable coaching.
Member of a group – colleagues, religious/spiritual buddies, readers, neighborhood or PTA who are wrestling with race and gender justice, questioning their own responsibility and capacity to nourish change, to be change? GET IN TOUCH – and let’s talk about designing a two-hour session to meet your group’s needs (no cookie-cutter for this work!) Then I’ll send on a full description you can share and discuss with your group.
Some comments from workshop participants

#4 Check out Radical Inclusion Practice Immersion:
uncover and harness unconscious bias
New cohort group forming for a 4-week course to begin in mid-January.
Ready to go to your working edge with race and gender in 2021?
- Begin to notice your habits of seeing and making meaning of events.
- Nourish curiosity and empathy.
- Gain freedom to act from a place of inclusion, to be inclusionary.
- Learn to trust discomfort as a friend and guide.
- Loosen the grip of your Rules for Living – the rules that govern how you appear, how you behave, whether and how you belong. These rules are our internal equivalents of the laws, policies, procedures, and organizational hierarchies that dispense and withhold access, incentives and opportunities in our society.
Some comments from course participants
“surprising revelations,”
“visceral empathy”
“a strong emotional foundation for listening to others”
“a knowing where to dig”
“a willingness to step up and be more ‘out loud’ with a formerly shy voice”
“tools to move past limiting assumptions.”
With Sara’s teaching, encouragement and guidance, I was able to discover early narratives that impact attitudes towards racial and gender bias. These surprising revelations, along with new practices have given me new tools moving forward. Susan, Acupuncturist
The Radical Inclusion course helped me process a lot of unspoken thoughts and feelings around race, especially that uncomfortable topic of white privilege. It’s a very organic process, not linear, and that allowed it to be exactly what I needed to open up my heart and mind to a new perspective on how I view myself and others. I now have a strong emotional foundation from which I can do the continuing work of listening to others, listening to myself, and questioning my assumptions about how things work. In a world that is constantly changing, this is a valuable tool for understanding how the world really works (not just how I think it works or want it to work), and that is very empowering to me. Sara Korn, Writer
This course helped me unpack and clarify long-hidden assumptions that I now realize were getting in my way. I discovered personal insights that are already paying dividends…and I believe will continue to benefit me as I build on the course’s foundational, perspective-expanding structure. Greg Conderacci, Good Ground Consulting LLC
Sara consistently created a space where moments of understanding could unfold. During one of the course’s many excellent exercises, I made a profound connection—it was about my own sense of belonging and the conditions of life for Black people in our country that could preclude a feeling of belonging…The connection is now visceral for me, as well as intellectual, and oh so powerful. Deborah Green, Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee Chair
