Movies have an enchanting way of connecting us to our own life dramas. As the leading lady of your epic journey, you will be able to share your own memorable scenes and adventures.
Here’s how it works:
– In each of seven sessions, we’ll set the stage by pairing one much-loved type of shoe with two movies.
– Each action-packed session starts with a discussion of the shoes and movies, then moves into more SOULful conversations about your experiences and insights.
– Each session features a stand-alone topic and agenda so you can sign up for one, several, or all the workshops.
Grab a box of popcorn and your favorite beverage. Let’s share our most loved thoughts and memories, SOLE to SOUL!

MOViES: Wizard of OZ | The Devil Wears Prada
Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Andy of The Devil Wears Prada land in strange new worlds filled with scary creatures and awkward moments. Sound familiar? Out of necessity, they reached out to those around them to move forward. Their stories may be reminiscent of how you found balance, value and worth in your life’s MOViE.

MOViES: Cinderella | Brave
Family dynamics create unique expectations and challenges for the women in Cinderella and Brave. Cinderella waited to be chosen by her shoe size, while Merida picked up her bow and charged forward to make a place for herself. As in these fairy tales, a magic twist of fate may have changed the trajectory of your life’s story, even if you weren’t gifted with a fairy godmother or a spell-casting witch.

3. Celebrating the Painted Lady (November 2023)
SHOES: Painted Shoes
MOViES: Frida | Barbie
The San Francisco Painted ladies have nothing on Frida—both the artist and the movie entitled Frida, staring Selma Hayek. Frida Kahlo once hand-painted a red boot to celebrate herself as a bold and powerful woman. By contrast, “pink for girls” describes the world of Barbie. As a well seasoned woman, you live in a world where you are free to choose the hues and designs that best express your soul. Which colors bring you the most joy? Join us for an opportunity to imagine yourself, your MOViE, in vibrant color!

4. Courage in Cowgirl Boots (January 2024)
Shoes: Western Boots
MOViES: Annie Get Your Gun | Coyote Ugly
With each step of her western boots, Annie Oakley, in Annie Get Your Gun, chipped away at the “sugar and spice” stereotype for women. Coyote Ugly shows a more provocative aspect of the western boot, in fact it redefines how today’s woman pulls herself up by the bootstraps. During this session, we’ll celebrate the women who have inspired your MOViE; and also how you have learned to step up with confidence. What new script will you write to move you forward this year?

5. Shoes: To Have and To Hold (February 2024)
Wedding Shoes
MOViES: Sex and the City | Mona Lisa Smile
When Carrie Bradshaw placed her blue satin wedding stilettos in her closet, she felt at home. Relationships, shoes and fashion have always been visible in Sex and the City, yet the power of women friendships gets top billing. Julia Roberts’ character in Mona Lisa Smile agrees that women don’t need to be completed by marriage. The soul of our conversations will open the treasure chest of your relationship memories and experiences, inviting you to see who you’ve chosen to have and hold.

6. Dancing Irish Legacies (Mars 2024)
Shoes: Ghillies
MOViES: Curls | Riverdance: The Animated Adventure
Irish values can be found in Curls and Riverdance which are movies that highlight the inherently supportive connections of the Irish dance community. Through traditional Irish dance, Curls connects a daughter with her late Irish mother; while Riverdance celebrates healing, respect and legacy. These stories will lead us into a discussion of the intergenerational gifts in YOUR life, and the supporting cast of characters who played your grandmother, mother, aunts, sisters, and friends who function as family.

7. Aloha Spirits (April 2024)
Hula Dancing Shoes
MOViES: Tokyo Hula | Blue Hawaii
Each movement of the hula dance tells a story. With bare feet, the dancer connects with an ancient, spiritual aspect of the Hawaiian culture. The majority of films, including Elvis’ Blue Hawaii, offer us a rather shallow view the islands. Today traditional Hula dancing is being taught all over the world, as you’ll see in the documentary film Tokyo Hula. We’ll discuss methods of being grounded so you can feel connected to the Aloha Spirit. This is a perfect conversation to uplift and center your soul.
