And now dance

March 20, 2017

And now dance

I realized although I enjoy practicing bodywork, it brought about change one person at a time.  Tarot readings open people up to deeper insights but left them in their heads or intuitive minds. My deck and book helped but I wanted to do something interactive.  Physical movement expedites change. It opens pathways from the cognitive to the intuitive through the body’s motion. I saw ...

Combining Interests

March 9, 2017

Combining Interests

Combined with my intuitive understanding of the Tarot, my dance study / Polarity Therapy gave my new path dual and complimentary aspects. Thereby, strengthening the end results. After my initial training, I left NYC for the Bay Area and opened a practice. For many years I kept the Tarot reading separate from my bodywork.  The Tarot began to show its hand as a natural extension of my body ...

How I fell in love with dance

March 5, 2017

How I fell in love with dance

I fell in love with dance while living in NYC as a visual artist. I was working for a non-profit screen print studio. We printed a lot of posters for performance events. The excitement of the event posters drew me to the actual events. Dance performances became part of my NYC experience. The movement of the dancers spoke to my inner sensibilities. I was too self-conscious to study dance ...

Water, Water Everywhere

February 28, 2017

Water, Water Everywhere

If you live in Northern California, or if you follow the news, you know how much rain we've gotten. I am grateful because we are out of the drought. The power of water has proven to be both frightening and amazing. I'm not sure what to hope for, continued rain or sunshine. Elementally water conveys our ability to be receptive, to flow, and be flexible. Water is nurturing and facilitates making ...

The Dance of Miriam

September 20, 2016

The Dance of Miriam

My name Miriam means prophetess or rebellion. In the Old Testament, Miriam was the revered sister and savior of her brother Moses, who later led the Hebrew people to the Exodus of Egypt. It’s not always acknowledged but Miriam along with their brother Aaron had a big part in that procession as well. Perhaps I should be presenting this story during Passover the religious, celebration of the ...

Thoughts About Community

August 17, 2016

Thoughts About Community

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the desire and concept of community. Perhaps community is in the biospheres. To me it seems to be more essential than ever - community transcends individual differences. I am aware of when community works and when it doesn't. When it does work, I feel included, I want to listen as much as I want to share. When it doesn't work I feel like a round peg ...

When the Muse Hits

July 6, 2016

When the Muse Hits

After a month’s journey, which included a visit to a magical spring and an International Polarity conference, I’m really feeling moved. During a visit to the Chalice Well in Glastonbury, England I had a powerful meditation. The Chalice Well is a natural spring rooted in King Arthur fables where people gather to find solace, peace and inspiration. In Tarot the Well relates to the Ace of ...

Loving Yourself

Loving Yourself

Thoughts On Valentines Day. The consumer market would like us to believe that Valentines Day encompasses an entire month. Not that I mind a receiving a romantic card or being treated to a special meal, but all that buying to prove my love makes me uncomfortable. When I’m in a relationship I vacillate between giving a gift and wondering if I’m going to get one. If I’m not in a relationship I ...
