Workshops. Trainings. Courses.

 

Learn through Theory & Embodied Exercises

My workshops blend the wisdom of presence with embodiment.
Each offering combines theory, experiential exercises, reflection, and group harvesting—creating an always-unique arc of practice, play, discovery, and application.

By intentionally disrupting our social programming and auto-pilot modes, we are able to get closer to the truth of who we are and the truth of each moment. From this place, we get to invite more of ourselves and each other into meaningful, intimate, and conscious connection.

And who wouldn’t want that?

Join an upcoming offering and walk away with practical tools and experience to build better relationships across your life—starting with the one you have with yourself.

    "Ash truly has a beautiful way of leading that feels so good to me: clear, real, and emergent.”

  • ART LVL 1 Participant, Guatemala

    “Ash is highly sensitive professional and smart. She managed any question and situation in a relevant way, took brave care for safety and boundaries of the space, and treated us with caring love.”

  • Emanuele | Senior Analyst & Strategic Analytics, LA

    “I deeply appreciated Ash’s presence and dedication during our weekend together. She modeled with candor and raw authenticity all of the practices she presented. Never claiming the title of expert or role model, but exemplifying it with her actions and words. She gently redirected all of the off-topic questions back to the present moment with grace and comprehension for whoever was drifting away from the core of the experience.

    Throughout most of the weekend, it seemed to me she took so very responsibly the role of facilitator, making herself as available and responsible as possible, focused and present to answer all questions in the most effective and relevant way.

    She made me ponder how to walk the very fine line between uncompromising, unapologetic self-expression and devoted attention and care to whoever entrusts a facilitator with their healing.”

  • Santi | Co-Founder - Nomadic
