“Thank you, from the depth of my heart, for the experience of Living Awake: Grief, Grace and Gratitude. It was a rare and life-enhancing opportunity to share with other women, to learn together and to heal together. I appreciate so much the varied activities that you so thoughtfully crafted. To me it was a kaleidoscope finely focused on exploration, building understanding and healing. Those beautiful days of immersion spent together were days that have enhanced and expanded my life. I left feeling much stronger and clearer, and once again excited about my life.”

About Katheryn and Lilli
We met on a dance floor at Rancho La Puerta in a Mexican border town, a synchronistic gateway for discovering our mutual passions and gifts; such as reverence for life, pigheadedness, and being easily moved to tears.
We soon discovered the waters ran deep between us and flowed into this offering of an abundant bouquet of sixty years of training, experience, and teaching. Our multitude of modalities include meditation, integrative health, somatic practices, dynamic communication, movement, and creative expression.
Our complimentary styles and skills dove-tail to provide a safe atmosphere for diving deep, connecting with love, and transformation.
We are a dancing paradox. Our collaboration creates a synergistic and beauty-full movement into Living Awake.

Breast cancer matters for every woman because 1 out of every 8 women is affected during her lifetime. Breast cancer is the highest cause of death for women under 50. The bad news is that we don’t know much about the cause of the disease and therefore too little about its prevention. The good news is that, thanks to massive advances in the health sector, there can be complete healing with the available medical and complementary therapies in 70-80% of all cases and a longer disease-free lifespan in the whole population. And by integrating well-being lifestyle changes and small steps we can increase our vitality and quality of life, so that no matter what our situation, we can live a wild and precious life now.

Ulrike Schöneck, born 1958 is a dedicated women’s doctor and Gynecologist since 1983. She worked for 10 years in a large urban hospital. Since then she has dedicated her work to a private all-women group practice in Berlin. She’s focuses mainly on early detection, ultrasound and medical support, guidance and counselling after primary clinical cancer treatments (operation, radiation & chemo) in hospital. She has accompanied many hundreds of women through the maze and wonder of living through and with breast cancer. She specialises in women’s health issues and is also certified in psychosomatic health. Her long- term personal work in Qi Gong, expressive movement and meditation also significantly inform her approach as an integrative doctor in Germany where the recovery from cancer is the highest in Europe.

Katheryn Trenshaw, the founder and creative director of the Passionate Presence Center for Creative Expression, is an inspiratrice and evocateur of presence and possibility. Her most recent adventure, Facing Death: a Radical Well-Being Sabbatical, addresses overcoming advanced breast cancer and realising more than ever how precious and juicy life is. This more persistently informs, underpins and enhances every single moment and all of the work and depth of presence that Katheryn offers. Katheryn belongs to the club no one wants to become a member of and has inadvertently done a “Masters degree” in and become an outspoken force for living well with cancer and an advocate for radical well-being.

Katheryn is an international artist, speaker, author, and radical well-being advocate who has offered, for over 35 years, training and facilitation in movement, art and personal development particularly focused on awakening as Embodied Consciousness. She conducts educational events, workshops, multimedia projects and undertakes consulting for individuals, groups and organisations in the United States, Europe and around the world.
