One of the most potent things I have found, both in my training and with my clients, is the utmost importance of self-care. For every acute problem, every chronic stress, every relationship explosion, cancer diagnosis, loathed job or existential crisis, self-care comes up again and again as not just the most important, but the very firstContinue reading “[Rerun] Self-care made simple”

What was taken from you? Where do we get it back?
This weekend, we focused on soul: what feeds us, where we feel at home, how we connect to passion, to center, to power, to connection itself. As part of that, we talked about the thwarts to passion: what does your passion call you to do, and what gets our way?

[Re-run] Bodies, breath, and music – a review of “Ash Land”

I find they are important for my readers to know who I am as a practitioner, and that these things also powerfully inform my work as a Rubenfeld Synergist. Ilana, after all, started her career as a symphonicContinue reading “[Re-run] Bodies, breath, and music – a review of “Ash Land””
