Testimonials from past participants:
"I love all of Dr. Fishel’s workshops. She demonstrates deep care while teaching and she shares her love for the human spirit. She is playful, knowledgable, and real. I think I have participated in about 10 of her workshops in Nashville and learn something new each time. If you get a chance to be in circle with her, go!" – Debra, past participant
"Tobi Fishel is a rare facilitator. She is so loving and shares her great enthusiasm for living life to the fullest. Meditation was so difficult for me but she made it easy, fun, and now I practice a little every day. She makes us believe in ourselves as much as she believes in us. You don’t just learn skills in her workshops, you learn to believe in yourself again." – James, past participant

(excerpt from David Whyte’s Self Portrait)
The Grace and Beauty immersions are soul exploring, experiential programs for women seeking greater awareness, joyful expression, and a longing to develop a kinder and fierce relationship to themselves and others utilizing expressive arts, mindful meditation, music, and gentle movement within a heartful community of women. During this special one day retreat, held in Topanga Canyon, just outside of Santa Monica, California, we will gather for rest, rejuvenation, play, and a deep dive into reviving our passion for life as we are held by the beautiful trees, wide open spaces, and a soundscape of birds and silence.
Please bring a light lunch, non-plastic water bottle, layers of clothing suitable for gentle movement (QiGong), sitting on back jacks or chairs, and time on the land. Also, please bring a small and meaningful object for our altar (sacred space) that you will take home at the end of the workshop.
