“Thank you Annie for weaving an incredible circle of women into a very beautiful tapestry.” —Marie

“Rock The Boat was an inspiring and awe-inspiring day. Annie has the ability to create a completely safe “container” in which we were allowed to be ourselves; whether that be happy, angry, sad, you name it. I can't wait for the next session.” —Mira

About Annie

Annie Russell is your guide for the journey. She has reinvented her life many times and has guided hundreds of others on their journey. Annie has the ability to create a completely safe container in which you can discover your unique, authentic voice.

Annie headed up a career and transition center at a university for ten years, where she counseled thousands of adults in career redirection, job finding, and other major-life transitions. There she authored a book and co-produced a TV series about transitions.

Annie has facilitated circles of women throughout her career and believes completely in the power of the group to help transform everyone in the circle. She has experienced the encouragement, support, reflection, and modeling that happens when a group of women share their courage and bravery in stepping into everything they can be.

Annie stumbled onto collaging about five years ago and got hooked immediately. She's been collaging ever since, eventually finding her way to altered books and the joy of combining self-discovery with the art of making an altered book. Her great love is sharing all of this with the women who make up the circle for each Rock the Boat workshop. Contact Annie for further information or to register.
