Welcome to

Cherishing opens the door
and rewrites the story
Cherishing the essence of people opens doors of understanding in walls of defensiveness - inviting in appreciation, belonging and care. The Cherish Mosaic is a safe space to learn to cherish ourselves and others.
Don’t we all want relationships where everyone feels seen, safe, respected and delighted in? Where we belong and are valued for what we each bring to the table?
Sadly, old stories, misunderstanding, disrespect, and conflict often leave us feeling reactive, guarded, and alone.
The CHERISH Mosaic is a learning community for people who want to know how to:
. . . invite defensive hearts and minds to genuine relationships
. . . respond to those who refuse or need time to grow
. . . influence any relationship to be warm and respectful, especially with ourselves (who is our biggest critic?)
Through our online workshops, bookclubs and Circle community, we learn to see each person’s uniqueness, create respectful boundaries, practice ethical influence, and hold compassionate space for growth. In the process, we find joy in treasuring ourselves.
Our focus is on re-storying relationships - in ways that bring healing perspectives and emotional safety - and invite authentic and joyful connection. We learn how to disentangle from reactivity and to creatively influence the best in ourselves and others.
In The CHERISH Mosaic, we use best-practice approaches to personal and relationship growth that I learned as a therapist and mental health counsellor.
Yet . . . it was floundering in my own difficult relationships that provided the most helpful lessons.
Insights that helped many clients and friends re-story their difficult relationships.
I share these practical ideas now in The CHERISH Mosaic workshops and community - and as we offer our perspectives, we learn insights from each other.
To see if this approach might be a good fit for you, join our free Discovery workshop (1.5 hours). [See the workshop description below].
If you grow best with people who understand your struggles and celebrate your growth, our Circle community offers ongoing support through in-depth workshops, book clubs, and guest speakers.

The C.H.E.R.I.S.H. Mosaic
I’m Jeanni, founder of The C.H.E.R.I.S.H. Mosaic learning community
Seeing people appreciating their own and other’s unique worth - being kind to each other - and creating lives meaningful to them - has been important to me since I was a child.
As a therapist, I learned the best practices that free people to be their unique self, find belonging and re-story their life.
Yet, when faced with my own relationship challenges, I wrestled deeply with the effects of my own and other’s misconceptions and woundedness. (See the long version in My story)
As I struggled through the chaos, I learned ways that invite the best in ourselves and each other (and not the worst). And how to make it safe to grow and change - in our unique way and timing - like different plants in a garden. And how to manage when people refuse, are unable to respond or need a long time to grow.
Restorying misunderstanding, having compassion for our limitations and mistakes, creatively using boundaries and relationship skills, softening defensiveness and cherishing our unique essence - are keys.
I share the essentials with you in The C.H.E.R.I.S.H. Mosaic - so you avoid both the mistakes and the lo-o-o-ng learning journey.
Life continues to happen, and I respectfully share what I’m learning in my own growth journey
As we meet together in workshops and a supportive community, we learn from - and celebrate - each other
Discover the joy of being you - and inviting joy in others - in the beauty and the messiness of life
