How to Date Mindfully

There's a new paradigm of relationships emerging which demands that both parties bring awareness of their whole selves. Learning how dating mindfully can help boost confidence, minimize game-playing, clarify what one really desires, and help identify self-defeating patterns that are getting in the way of finding partnership.

Wherever one is on the dating journey, they don’t have to do this alone. During this interactive workshop participants discover firsthand how mindfulness practices, embodied inquiry, and neuroscience can help attract and create healthy, fulfilling relationships!

This was not what I expected at all. It was one of the best experiences I have had meditating. It was engaging, educational and actually fun. Hector, CIIS Student, 2019

Equine Guided leadership Education

Relationship is a matter of survival. And leadership is about relationships. As social animals we are conditioned to look outward to define ourselves. As the Western world spirals into a dramatic paradigm shift , we are faced with a cultural, existential epistemological, involution. Duality giving way to paradox; we are outgrowing independence and embracing inter-dependence. This work addresses how we make sure that we are living by our own values, not those we blindly absorbed from our family of origin and culture.  This is a time where our learning shifts from skill development to mastery and wisdom. In this talk, I explore the opportunities of Soulful Leadership, using Equine Education and practical guidance on how to negotiate its challenges. 

Maryanne’s guidance is warm and direct. She’s really intuitive and good at getting to the heart of things. It’s unnerving at first but it’s what we all want; for someone to actually pay attention to you and track you at that level! I’m a fan. Fran, Salesforce, San Francisco, 2019

My work is all about forging stronger connections and I approach my speaking and workshops in this same vein. I craft experiences to engage, inspire and inform.
