After thirty years of consciously seeking and twenty of sharing my findings as a practitioner and teacher, I have entered the digital realm. Documenting my story here on this website through words and pictures feels formal, while equally vulnerable and intimate at the same time.
Until now my story has only been written in my body and shared through transmissions. My hands tell the story; the energy and synthesis of my path imprinting the fascia of the body on my table. The wellspring of wisdom radiating through my voice, landing in the hearts of those gathering in Circle around our ceremonial fires. But to have it written, I have resisted. If I write it, I make it so. If I make it so, I must claim it. And if I claim it, can it still remain fluid? Until now the river, the words, the banks, the lines I’ve written it all between. I invite you into my pool here, warm waters - hot springs of healing. Flow with me through the arc of my own journey. I am offering you a similar arc here. Follow me.
The three classes that I consider foundational, and what I call the arc, are both touchstones into my own healing process and tributes to that which grew from the roots of my teachers.
The Spiritual Nervous System is the fruit from the tree that is my life’s work. The work itself being my greatest teacher.

In myself I have experienced so many times where Intimacy was being offered right there in front of me. Yet the longing and attachment to how it must appear made it invisible. I projected onto my partner, my sisters, and whoever I could, believing they were incapable of meeting me.
I was full of awe and gratitude when my vision finally shifted. It was me. I wasn't approachable. I wasn't able to stay open and in the deep vulnerability of my sensitivity. I wasn't sitting in the atmosphere of intimacy within, I was focused outwardly.
When this veil lifted I have never felt so met ~ not just by those I love, but also by the world around me.
Intimacy goes far beyond what we think, it is a relationship with receptivity, gratitude, and curiosity.
Do you have a story around intimacy?
