Eugena Wolf Maguire is playful and bold. She dares to look into the eyes and hearts of our struggles and darkness and find within the hope needed in our darkest hours. Along the way she celebrates this journey!
How does she do this? Step by step. She connects people to themselves, the arts and community.
Eugena Maguire is an event curator, a social worker, former "struggling" foster parent and creator of the Parenting Human Beings (PHB) podcast. Limping into adulthood and trying to make sense of her own childhood and mother's suicide, Eugena fatefully stumbled upon the work of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, among others. She was deeply inspired, which brought her into her current role as helper, healer, facilitator, and curious journey companion to parents, educators and any adults who care about kids. Through years of deep inner work and play, hitting the books, and healing, Eugena has discovered what drives us as human beings: our need for connection. She routinely gathers artists, poets, and storytellers for events - odes to both the struggle and the hope we need in our darkest hours. One of her pet projects coming up in January 2023 for example, is an online event: 'Blue Monday', It's known as the most depressing day of the year. It's dark, it's cold and the credit card bills from holiday spending are arriving! And yet - through powerful and inspiring performances, Eugena honours the melancholy.
and welcomes the new year with some optimism and anticipation. As she notes:" Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her."
