About the Practice
An introduction to Michael and his work
608 Broadway
In the Heart of West Broadway
The office is intentionally non-clinical: a welcoming space designed for reflection and deeper dialogue. Located in a charming Edwardian-era building in one of Winnipeg’s most vibrant and creative neighbourhoods, it offers an atmosphere distinct from conventional clinical settings.
“
Listening with presence and genuine understanding is one of the most caring things we can do for each other. Pursuing knowledge of the good, and putting it into practice, are not things we can effectively do alone. It requires a diversity of ideas. We must challenge our own ideas first, and have the courage to follow where the evidence and arguments lead. This is the beginning of dialectic, of reasoning together in order to really understand.
