After losing my wife, I realized I wasn’t just mourning her, I was mourning myself. My identity had been so intertwined with our life together that when she was gone, I felt like I no longer knew who I was. Over the years, I’ve rebuilt my life through a mix of science, business thinking, and wisdom from the world’s spiritual traditions. The Identity Flower workshop distills that journey into a hands-on process you can use to discover the parts of yourself that are unshakable, and the parts that can change with life’s seasons, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Why This Workshop? Life changes can blur our sense of self. In this interactive session, you’ll create your Identity Flower: a simple visual that distinguishes your unchanging core from your situational garden so you can act from clarity—not chaos.

Life changes: loss, career transitions, shifts in relationships, or even the quiet restlessness that says something needs to change, can leave you feeling unsure of who you really are. The Identity Flower Workshop offers a 90-minute guided journey to help you see yourself clearly again. Through a thoughtful blend of psychology, practical strategy, and timeless wisdom traditions, you will create a visual map of your authentic self: your Identity Flower, and discover how to nurture it in the seasons ahead.

The workshop begins with a gentle centering exercise to help you step out of daily noise and into a more reflective space. You will be guided to map the “core” of your flower: the values, strengths, and enduring traits that remain constant no matter what life brings. Around it, you’ll draw the petals and garden that represent your current roles, relationships, and circumstances, noticing which elements bring vitality and which may be draining your energy. This is not about becoming someone new; it’s about uncovering the truest parts of yourself and learning how to live from that place.

What You’ll Take Away from the Workshop

By the end of this 90-minute interactive session, you will have created your own Identity Flower, mapping your core values and the situational roles that shape your current life. You’ll learn a science-backed process for distinguishing what is truly you from what is temporary, and you’ll gain clarity on how to align your daily actions and decisions with your authentic self. Along the way, you’ll experience a guided reflection ritual designed to spark meaningful “aha” moments, and you’ll leave with both a visual tool and practical action steps you can return to whenever life begins to shift.
