ONLINE: Satir's Self-Esteem Maintenance Kit

A great free sampler for “Discovering Your Path to Self with Satir”

In this free, two hour-long workshop, we will explore as a group the Self-Esteem Maintenance Kit developed by Virginia Satir. We will also explore how we can apply this as a useful set of resources in our lives.

This workshop will give you a taste of how Vicky, Christian and Emmanuel work with the Satir Model. Click here for more information and registration for their longer, 5 weeks / 10 session program “Discovering Your Path To Self With Satir” starting February 9, 2022.

About Satir Work:  

Virginia Satir developed various processes to help us make sense of ourselves, each other, and the world we navigate. Her objectives were personal growth, congruent communication, and helping individuals to become “more fully human”. 

We use theories and models from Satir to accomplish this: extending our awareness of who we are and where we come from, acknowledging and appreciating the resources we developed as we grew up in our family of origin, and making choices about how we want to use these resources in the current moment. 

Through examination and illumination of these past and current resources via a range of methods adapted for an online experience, you will then be able to expand and redefine them. 

Maria Gomori & The Haven 

All 3 facilitators have been working and training professionally for many years in the Satir Model with the world renowned Maria Gomori. Maria is a colleague and good friend of Virginia Satir and worked with her for over 20 years.

Here’s what Maria says about Online: Discovering Your Path to Self:  

“Vicky, Emmanuel and Christian have been my students and assistants at the Haven workshops. I have been observing their online workshops recently and I was impressed with their ability and courage to teach the Satir Model in an online experience. 

The three of them are attentive to the participants and creatively implement connection, growth and caring for each person as well as for the group. 

The three of them complement each other in knowledge, experience and creativity as a team.” 

— Maria Gomori, MSW, RMFT, Dip.C

“This program is an excellent introduction to the power of Satir’s systemic family of origin methods for personal development. The trainers are knowledgeable and caring instructors. The mix of presentation, triad and small group experiences, and reflection time with exercises makes for an engaging workshop. I highly recommend this workshop.”

— Jean McLendon, LCSW, LMFT and AAMFT
