• Women’s circle – Ojai, California – October, 2017

    Women! Time to Circle Up
    at The Love Center in Ojai, CA
    October 19th through 22nd 2017


    I know that I have life
    only insofar as I have love.

    I have no love
    except it come from Thee

    Help me, please, to carry
    this candle against the wind.

    ~ Wendell Berry, Sabbath Poems, 2006

    Dear wonderful women,

    This letter is an invitation from the deepest, and most vulnerable part of my heart. We are beginning to gather for the first of two special women’s weekends – October 19-22, 2017, at the beautiful LOVE CENTER in Ojai, California.

    As the events of the fall unfolded, I found my own body – and my clients without exception – going through a huge shift in stress. For many, it is manageable through temperament, belief, cosmology…a blessing. For many others, the profound changes in America have caused our cellular memories to go Ape Shit. It can be difficult to know how to keep working with the Tools We Live By, and stay connected to love, compassion and the people we want to be, while still being agents for the change we want to see.

    I am hoping that my life – as someone who has been given the opportunity to travel, study and teach in Africa, Japan, Europe, Canada and the United States – and my belief that we can affect what in Judaism we call “tikkun olam,” the repair of the world, will be of use to you now as you work on your own inner resources and movements of soul.

    I would like to use our own stories, beliefs, and prejudices to help heal our current and generational trauma. By creating coherent internal and external narrative (one of the basic steps for healing any trauma), we can strengthen ourselves both inwardly and outwardly to stay resilient in difficult times. These women’s gatherings are designed to deepen our community relationships over time, and teach us how to be members of any family or community even in the face of differing experiences, worldview and beliefs. We will write our stories and our hopes and fears: speak them, sing them, hurl them, and let all that is stored in shapes we cannot use become fluid and available for something new.

    I am so eager to get started….and to continue to be with many of you and introduce you to new fabulous women as well.
