"Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are a hundreds
of ways to kneel and kiss the ground." - Rumi
One day long ago I decided to be open to creativity. This seed flourished, and was consciously tended to each day. It led me on a trail that included several years of studying art in college. Little did I realize what doors would be opened to me.
When I finished graduate art school I became a public school teacher. I found that my passion for creativity flowed through out my classroom and into my students. If something was difficult for my students to learn I would create a fun and playful way for them to access the information. I infused the arts into everything I taught. Teaching kids how to read became a passion. I saturated my reading program with games, poetry, music and writing. My low income, language learning students flourished, reading was fun. During my 17 years in the public schools I taught many classrooms of children how to read. I also learned how to teach those kids that no one else could help.
Seven years ago I met Oksana Yufa, an amazing CranioSacral Therapist. I loved how gentle, and effective this healing practice was in my body. I decided to study it at the Upledger Institute. CranioSacral Therapy has become a passion. It has the power to transform lives.
I also run the Dreaming Lodge with my best friend Jen Rosen. It is dedicated to conscious gatherings that enrich personal growth, foster creativity, and build community. We offer Art and Meditation Retreats, Monday Night Meditation, Art for your Spirit classes, and support a local Blessing Box for those in need.
