Welcome to
The CHERISH Mosaic
Re-storying relationships
Real connection begins when you cherish the essence of people - starting with yourself
The CHERISH Mosaic is a learning community for people who want healthy, respectful and kind-hearted relationships with the people in their life . . . but find that walls of misunderstanding, conflict, and disrespect are getting in the way.
Together we discover how to open doors to defensive hearts and minds - including ours.
Through our online workshops, bookclubs and community circle, we learn how to recognize each person’s uniqueness, create respectful boundaries, practice ethical influence, and hold compassionate space for growth. In the process, we rediscover the joy of respecting and being ourselves.
We focus on re-storying relationships in ways that invite healing, foster emotional safety, and nurture authentic joy. We learn how to disentangle from reactivity and to creatively influence the best in ourselves and others.
As a trained counsellor, I draw from best-practice approaches to personal and relationship growth - yet it was floundering in my own difficult relationships that provided the most helpful lessons. I love sharing practical insights in The CHERISH Mosaic, and as we share our perspectives together, new wisdom emerges.
If you’d like an introduction, join our free three-week workshop (1.5 hours per week) to experience this approach and see if it resonates with you. [See the workshop description]
For those who want to go further, our Circle community offers ongoing support through in-depth workshops, book clubs, guest speakers - where our pain is comforted and our growth is celebrated.
Follow us on The CHERISH Mosaic Instagram, and Facebook page, and Substack (coming soon) for insights, inspiration, and tips for re-storying relationships.
The CHERISH Mosaic story
I’m Jeanni, founder of The CHERISH Mosaic
In my work as a therapist I’ve loved learning and sharing the best practices for personal and relationship growth.
In the midst of my own relationship challenges, I read Harriet Lerner’s “Dance of Anger” that began my long learning journey of facing codependence and personal woundedness. I now share the best with you in The CHERISH Mosaic - so you avoid both the mistakes and the very long journey.
The name . . .The CHERISH Mosaic
C.H.E.R.I.S.H.(r) - is an acronym chosen to make the key elements of caring easily understood and remembered
Mosaic - expresses the value of individuality and the beauty of community
The CHERISH Mosaic is a community of learners and leaders who help each other grow in our ability to deeply care for ourself and others, through workshops, bookclubs and support groups.
The Cherish Mosaic offers a free 3 session workshop (1.5 hours per week) in which you will be introduced to:
