Workshops

Workshops are half or full-day experiences.

discounts are available for students.

Workshops provide people with an opportunity to come together in community to understand and express themselves. In Los Angeles, it’s especially important to participate in these bonding activities regularly to remedy the isolation our sprawling city creates. The healing energy a group provides is a powerful force in individual growth.

Since 2001, Julie has presented a variety of workshops for the public as well as for her professional colleagues. Wellness retreat workshops can be created specifically for your group or organization.

Becoming the calm in the storm

This class is tailored to your individual needs and supported in a safe community of others.

the meaning of money

Facilitated By Julie Brams

This workshop is designed to help you understand and change your relationship to money.  Most people, regardless of the amount of money they have, experience the topic of money as highly charged.  Feelings of shame and other negative emotions can result in difficulty generating money, difficulty managing money,  saving or spending, or a combination.  Partnering around money can add additional stress and challenge with couples.

Through exercises and discussion, participants can begin to unlearn dysfunctional messages and habits that may be keeping them from having more ease with their finances.

coming home

Co-faciltiated by Julie Brams, LMFT and Claudia Rogron, LMT,EHC

This workshop combines Feldenkrais inspired exercises, body-centered meditation, written exploration and group discussion to bring greater awareness and comfort to being in our bodies.  We will also teach simple QiGong for clearing and balancing your energy.

Participants will leave with simple tools to maintain their awareness, stability, balance and integrity unique to their body/mind.

opening the gift of loss

Facilitated by Julie Brams

This workshop will focus on the many types of losses in the human experience — death, separation from family and friends, divorce, broken dreams and failing health, as well as those losses that are known only in the privacy of your heart. These are often painful but powerfully transformative periods of life. Methods: Experiential exercises, guided meditations, metaphor and art-process will be used.
