Don’t we all want to be seen and appreciated for our uniqueness

and for the perspectives we bring

like a puzzle piece in the jigsaw puzzle of life?

Free to be ourselves and love wholeheartedly?

To not have to strive

people please

or numb out?

To enjoy contributing our gifts for the greater good -

not to impress, compete or power trip

but taking deep satisfaction in what can be achieved together?

And to not feel lonely, fearful, and depressed - but to

belong in genuine community - relationships, home, school, work,

neighbourhoods and beyond-

where everyone is safe, appreciated, needed and matters?

Is this even possible in real life?

Because experience has shown us that it can be

unsafe to express our real selves.

We’ve been misunderstood, judged or shamed

when we lower our defences.

What DOES make it safe to

wholeheartedly be the genuine us?

Let’s reflect . . .

Isn’t it safe to be real when we feel

cherished and appreciated by someone

- and by ourself?

Because . . .

when we’re cherished

and appreciated

we feel we are :

  • genuinely seen and delighted in

  • believed in, even when we inevitably mess up - as all humans do

  • heard and understood for our perspectives

  • a creative expression of our experiences, skills, dreams and passions

  • uniquely contributing to the greater good

  • as worthy of respect, belonging and compassion as every other human being

  • calmed, as our nervous system unconsciously becomes

    co-regulated with the person cherishing us

  • aware that our current struggling self

. . . and our future mature self are equally valuable

  • comforted in our pain

  • able to repurpose suffering

  • able to be non-defensive, curious and open to wisdom and wonder

Being cherished is a liberating experience-

for both the cherished - and the cherisher!

But . . .

many things can get in the way of cherishing

Like misconceptions, misunderstanding, triggered pain and stress

And . . .

not knowing how to cherish

Can we actually learn how to cherish ourself and others???

To think and respond in ways that

create safety, soften hearts, and open minds???

Freeing people to wholeheartedly thrive as themselves in healthy relationships???

The answer to the question - can we learn to cherish ourselves, our relationships, our neighbours . . . anyone

is . . .

YES!!!

Based on my training and experience,

we can LEARN how to cherish!!!

There IS a mindset, heart set & skill set

that influences us to cherish

ourselves & others,

freeing us to live wholeheartedly

The C.H.E.R.I.S.H. Mosaic

shares the framework

for the essentials

of cherishing

ourselves and others

through workshops

and a learning community

Hi, I’m Jeanni!

  • The Cherish Mosaic is a learning community that helps people like you to discover the mind-set, heart-set and skills to deeply cherish yourself and others - free to be real and wholehearted!

  • As the initiator of The Cherish Mosaic, I love seeing people grasp their own and others deep value, unique purpose and belonging in life!

  • We each have a story- about who we think we and others are - and what life is about. The story is often created from a child’s point of view, in a world we didn’t understand.

  • These limiting stories can be rewritten - based on new perspectives on how life works

  • Healthier stories open possibilities for compassionate and wholeheartedly living

  • In The Cherish Mosaic community we share how we can do just that

  • As a fellow life journeyer - I share my professional training and practical experience as a family counsellor, mental health therapist, workshop leader, writer, mother of 4 and nana of 3 (see my bio and story)

  • The Cherish Mosaic is a growing community of learners and leaders who help each other grow, through workshops, bookclubs and support groups.

  • Follow The Cherish Mosaic on Instagram, Facebook, X, and my blog for ideas on cherishing the uniqueness in everyone. (See the links)

  • The Cherish Mosaic offers a free introductory online 1.5 hour workshop session and a follow up 7 week workshop The Cherish Mosaic Essentials. See below for details.

  • That it is possible to create safety in relationships - allowing defenses to lower and authenticity and wholeheartedness to flourish. We learn how new information and experiences allows people to shift their perspectives and behaviour. (neuroscience says so)

  • Compassion as essential to personal and interpersonal growth.

  • How to manage our own emotions to create intimacy - instead of hurt

  • How to create loving boundaries that build respectful relationships

  • Communication skills that bring out the best in people

  • Recognizing and changing dysfunctional relationship patterns

    Let’s see and cherish each other!
