Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona Women’s Philanthropy will host a Zoom session on Monday, Aug. 10 at 4:30 p.m., “Discovering New Ways to Be in this Unique Time” with Tejpal and Shari Gootter, authors of “Way to Be: 40 Insights and Transformative Practices in the Heart of Being” (Franklin Rose, Inc.). They will lead participants in an exploration of using this unique time for personal growth and transformation.
Tejpal holds a master’s in psychology and an MBA. She began her career in human resources and leadership development. Within a few years she became the vice president of human resources for a hotel chain based in Paris. At age 33, Tejpal felt that her soul mission had yet to be fulfilled; she moved from Paris to New York and established an executive coaching practice. Still seeking a more meaningful life, she attended the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. She also graduated as a kundalini yoga instructor. Today she teaches kundalini yoga and facilitates workshops on intuition, soul mission, and vibrant living.
From a young age, Gootter’s empathetic and compassionate nature led her on a path of helping and healing. She participated in international studies and lived in Brazil for seven years. She has a bachelor’s in sociology and psychology and a master’s in counseling. She has years of experience counseling groups and individuals working through trauma, mood, and substance abuse issues. In addition to her private practice as a psychotherapist and rehabilitation counselor, she has taught yoga for decades. She is also the director of Tucson’s nationally recognized Jewish-Latino Teen Coalition.
