“There is something elusive that can shadow us in our
work life. It is that place that asks us to call forth the Being
we are rather than living the recipe that is dictated by our title
or who we've been told we are. This work opens the boxes we have
occupied, and transforms those narrow passageways by inviting
forward the most deeply authentic parts of ourselves.
It is from this place we become effective agents of change,
providing in our contributions, at every level, a truth and integrity
we long to live in all the parts of life. This experience is not
a few days of your standard workshop presentation but a voyage
of transformation that erases shadow and allows movement into
the space of our deepest, most authentic selves so we may come
into our own.
Effective at work, effective in life, this work is about everything
that is important for us to be effective leaders, partners, and
people.”

"I was blessed to participate in this work at a moment
of "becoming" in my life. The symbols process and sharing
with wise women (and wiser facilitators) in the program were essential
to letting go of habits that no longer serve me and being open
to the process of "evolutionary dynamism" that I cannot
yet define but which is defining me. This work has been the rare
transformative experience that has not faded with time, rather
I feel its power more strongly as I grow into who I intentionally
hope to be."

"CIYO encourages openness and authenticity - providing
a safe, supportive and open environment where women can shed their
everyday role as mother, wife, daughter, boss or colleague. I
was able to see myself from the inside out vs. the outside in,
setting aside the perceptions of those I interact with on a daily
basis. There is tremendous power and insight in being witnessed
and witnessing others, as the group provides the gifts of collective
feedback, perspective, spirit and energy. My CIYO experience helped
me gain significant new perspective as I considered a major transition
in my life."
