Raising Emotionally Healthy
Children Through the Satir Model: Sandy has been
teaching this four day workshop in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen,
China three times a year to enthusiastic parents and professional
counselors. She teaches for the Satir Institute of
China and other training companies that are bringing personal
growth and professional training to the Chinese
people. The work is challenging, the people are so
respectful and appreciative, and the cultural differences are
stimulating. Sandy repeatedly says, "I am truly blessed to have this opportunity to
work so closely with the Chinese people."
She will be offering this workshop in Boulder in the fall of
2009.

How to Grow A Happy, Intimate Marriage Through
the Satir Model: This new workshop was launched in
Beijing in April, 2009 at the Satir Centre there. The

themselves and the nature of intimate relationships, honing their
skills and understanding of what an congruent and close
relationship requires. Both couples and singles
attended and we were happy to have a third of the group be
men. The course will continue to be offered in Beijing
and Shanghai this fall.
