Create Your Own Place of Joy: Getting to the Heart of Organizing
Are you overwhelmed by
clutter? Do you feel like you spend more time making lists than actually
getting things done? Have you tried to “get organized” countless times, only to
fall back into old habits and more chaos? You are not alone—and lasting change
is absolutely possible.
Join Intuitive Organizer,
coach and author Jennifer Zwiebel for a powerhouse mini-workshop and start off
the new year with a bang! In the company of other smart, successful,
heart-centered women, discover the secrets to envisioning your ideal space,
unblocking the path to organization, and making the inner shifts that allow you
to create what you want. Begin 2010 with energy, clarity and a clear plan of
action—and do it all from a place of joy!

Have you tried everything you can think of to help your child get organized only to find that she's still leaving the books she needs in school, forgetting what's due when, not handing in homework she's actually done, or begging you for help on long-term projects the night before they're due?
Does every discussion about school seem to turn into a fight?
Do you sense a connection between your child's disorganization and possible learning issues?
What are the powerful long-term benefits of helping a student learn to organize himself?
What are the three secrets to helping your child find her papers, create a workspace that works, track assignments and hand them in, and learn to manage her time and plan for the future?
Is it possible to shift habits and create lasing change? (By the way, the answer to this one is, "Yes.")
Learn how to help your child build an organizing system that brings clarity and order to his space and his mind. Tap into the creative and unique ways your child thinks and expresses herself, and teach her skills that will last a lifetime.

Unclutter Your Life: Action & Support Group
Learn to let go of the things that are holding you back. Your external space is often a reflection of your internal space, and when you’re surrounded by clutter and objects you don’t love or use, there is little room to think clearly, feel good, or introduce new objects into your life.
Join this weekly support group with Intuitive Organizer, coach and author Jennifer Zwiebel, and learn how to let go of what no longer serves you and create space for what you want in your life right now. Space is limited.
When: Six Wednesdays, starting February 17th, 6:30 - 8:00 PM

Wonder Girls: Life 101: Nurturing Your Best Self
For girls 12-18 and their moms! (Moms and daughters will attend workshops separately.)
We think it’s a pretty original idea: Moms and daughters will attend
the workshops separately, then come together to create vision boards
and laugh with actress and WonderWoman Kristen Johnston. You’ll both gain new insights into who you are
and how you’d like to live your lives. The best part is that you’ll
discover new ideas to share with each other.
Is your desk buried under an avalanche of paper? Has your dining room table become a makeshift file cabinet? Professional organizer and author Jennifer Zwiebel has the tools you need to conquer paper clutter in your home.
In this two-part organizing intensive, you will learn how to head off paper buildup at the pass, sort through what you have and keep only what you need, set up and maintain an efficient filing system, deal with your financial records, and more. Tap into the reasons why you’re holding on to so much paper, and learn to create a space you love to live in.
What people said about the workshop:
"This class has helped me more than you can ever know--I have been so stuck for years and I am on a roll now"
"My apartment is starting to feel better, lighter, not so weighed down and the desire is growing to get it to a point where I can love my home"
"Thank YOU again for your excellent help. I've now put tabs on all
my files and actually look forward to getting mail, so I can either throw it out, deal with it or file it. It's so reassuring to know that there's a place for these papers. Next comes cleaning out past files, but having begun in the present opened a door to the past."
"I felt so hopeful when I left your class. I thought--wow, it can be possible to get out from under all the clutter and past associations that keep me buried in it. You are a real pro. …I appreciate your skill, your own organization, follow-through, and caring.”
