Secret Selves®

Does it ever seem like there are different voices inside you that are at cross purposes with themselves? Well guess what? You’re normal! We all have these inner selves or Secret Selves, and each of them has a special mission and message for us—even the ones we’d rather not acknowledge. Come and spend a playful weekend in a safe, cozy, fun group getting to know yourself as never before!

A Weekend Workshop on the Secret Selves Process—What’s in it for you?

secretselves♦ Transform your inner critic (even if it’s on steroids!)
♦ Reclaim and appreciate your creative self (yup, you’ve got one)
♦ Discover that amazing side of you who’s dying to come out (just who is she anyway?)
♦ Understand and honor all the wonderful sides of you (yes, ALL sides!)

Using playful expressive arts activities—but don’t worry, you don’t have to be an artist or have any artistic talent at all— you’ll identify, explore, and give voice to your unique Secret Selves—and learn to appreciate them in the process.  
The goal here is radical self-acceptance like never before—and you’ll never see yourself quite the same way again!

I caught my first glimpse of the Selves through my own journaling in about 2002.  Working with my own Secret Selves for over a decade has been a profound personal journey.  In 2005 I began to share the concept, first with my fellow students in the post-graduate Expressive Arts Certificate Program at Saybrook University and then in one-day and weekend workshops in San Diego and Los Angeles. In 2007 I incorporated Secret Selves into my Artist’s Way classes, and in 2014 I trademarked the name and the process. In 2022, I piloted the online version of Secret Selves with my dear friend and assistant Karen Sidney as we offered it to people recovering from cancer in Manhattan Beach. To date, I have introduced 500+ people to the process, and many have told me it was life changing.
