There is Nothing wrong with you.

I have been speaking and training young people since the early 90’s, training kids and teenagers to embrace courage and let go of everything that tears them down and holds them back. As a 25-year veteran of foreign missions I have taught all over the world, working in small groups and large 1000+ audiences for intensive healing and personal development, everywhere from Australia and Africa to Europe and the South Pacific.

I was a school teacher and behavior specialist for high risk students, which allowed me an inside perspective on what is going on in the lives of young humans, and revealed much about how we can improve our kindness toward them. I’ve taught in countless summer camps and seminars in the U.S. for churches, community centers, and civic organizations.

In the process of founding ARK Farms I got to create all of the training programs, whether for training ex-offenders in vulnerability and mindfulness, or for training literally thousands of young people to be the incredible humans they are just bursting to become.

What I really bring to the table is a whole new aspect of how to look at empowerment and growth. The world isn’t broken, it is just waiting for us to reach our arms across to one another and build life in it again. I’ve been able to develop trainings that create life from within our stories, instead of from a hierarchical, top-down, I-know-more-than-you approach.

My core belief is that there is nothing wrong with you, and from there we can grow and develop everything. When you hire me I can hear the challenges your group is working through, see the assets in your human stories and cultivate a training specifically for your needs. One of the most powerful group development trainings I do is called “No SCABS”, which has nothing to do with picket lines.

S.C.A.B.S. stands for Sarcasm, Criticism, Accusing, Blaming, and Shaming. When we experience conflict it is really only intimacy or connection trying to take place. As I teach the healing process of reversing SCABS in our own stories we get to become confident and courageous enough to see one another as humans worth knowing.

We must discover the beauty and value of being EXACTLY who we are so we can release one another to be fully who we all are. In this kind of empowerment we don’t struggle to grasp concepts of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We see one another as meaningful, valuable, essential. The lines of us and them dissolve into nothing, and we are free to become whole, powerful, fully-engaged members of our communities.

I teach a powerful healing session on love, restoration, and how to love humans who are impossible to love (starting with ourselves). This embarks on the epigenetics of forgiveness, the grace and hope of self-forgiveness, and the language that gives life back to people who have hurt us.

Yep, you give life back to those who have been a cause of pain so you can be free from the wound that was left. When we love people who are impossible to love, we reverse self-hate. I promise it makes sense.

Book a training and you will find a freedom and grace for life that removes boundaries and builds life. If you have a group that needs more cohesion, wants to learn how to embrace diversity or greater cooperation with others, or have been stuck in a pattern that is not growing, you will find a power in the ability to move forward as a human, as a group, and as a community.

Whether you are a business, a start-up, church, mosque, university club, student group, senior center, non-profit, government agency, or flat-earther’s for Taylor Swift group, this training is for you. If you are struggling to address challenges specific to you industry, I can work with you to customize the training that brings your group the power to emerge through the issues with a courage, confidence, and connection that is self-sustaining and forward moving.
