Facilitate is the word that Chris believes best captures what she knows to be her deepest purpose -- in that facilitate literally means “to make easier”. Make what easier? Living life as imperfect human beings trying to make our way through an imperfect world. Bottom-line, we don’t always get what we want and that can generate dissatisfaction on multiple levels – unless we have developed options to skillfully meet and manage such experiences. Shaped by 40+ years of experience as a conversation facilitator in a wide range of settings along with wisdom gained through a decades-long commitment to mindfulness practice, Chris humbly views herself as a compassionate companion walking the path with others, trying to make it easier for ALL of us to meet our human experiences – wanted & unwanted – with openness, courage & grace.
