Judith Ansara, LCSW


faculty member Judith Ansara, LCSW, has been a leading innovator and teacher of human consciousness for more than 30 years. With a diverse background in psychology and the arts along with decades of training in contemplative practice and transtraditional spirituality, Ansara trains psychotherapists, coaches, social workers, and educators, and serves as a consultant and trainer to organizations in the United States and Canada.

Ansara is the creator of Women, Spirit, and Power empowerment trainings, dedicated to bringing women and feminine leadership principles into effective presence in the world. She is also cofounder of The Peacemaker Institute, which trains professionals in contemplative-based peacemaking and social action.

With her husband, Robert Gass, she created the Opening the Heart Workshops, which are now offered at universities, businesses, educational centers, and conferences around the world. Ansara and Gass also bring a depth of compassion and insight forged in the living laboratory of their 30-year marriage to retreats they offer for couples in the arts and skills of committed relationship.

Drawing on extensive study and practice in yoga, meditation, improvisational movement, and dance, Ansara has a special gift for teaching the arts of conscious embodiment as a path for awakening and action. Also a transdenominational minister and wilderness quest guide, she creatively weaves ritual into her work as a way of marking passages and anchoring the experience of transformation. From her home in Boulder, Colorado, she serves as a coach, consultant, and spiritual guide to advanced students.
