In my search for a way to convey “liquid light” on this website, I was
graced by Helena Cooper’s agreement to use her spectacular artwork. Helena,
who is originally from Brazil, has made her home in Ithaca, New York since
1982.

RECOMMENDED LINKS
www.adyashanti.org
I highly recommend the writings, audio files, and silent retreats of contemporary spiritual teacher Adyashanti. Students of life and/or biodynamics will find helpful wisdom, free of jargon.
www.dynamicstillness.com
This is my mentor Charles Ridley’s wonderfully informative website, detailed
enough to satisfy practitioners of biodynamic craniosacral work, but useful
for intrigued laypeople as well.
www.milneinstitute.com
Scottish osteopath Hugh Milne created a “visionary approach to craniosacral
work” (see his book below). The work blends shamanism, taoism, and osteopathic
craniosacral work. For four years I organized, took, and assisted the
7 Milne Institute classes.
www.dolphinwaves.com
This is the website of Reiko Namita Dewey, the phenomenal teacher who
got me started practicing craniosacral work when she was a senior faculty
member of the Milne Institute. Reiko now teaches laypeople and healing
arts professionals her distinctive blend of movement and energy work,
billed as The Art of Sacred Touch.
www.continuummovement.com
Continuum movement is a life-enriching practice of breath, movement and
sound founded by visionary Emily Conrad. She has had therapeutic success
with spinal cord—injured individuals.
www.kripalu.org
This is the residential center in western Massachusetts where I received
my yoga teacher training. At any time, they have a fabulous selection
of workshops on yoga and wellness that are open to all. In particular,
check out offerings with Stephen Cope, my favorite yoga teacher!
I am an ordained graduate of the IM School, which supports “wholeness healing” under the direction of Levent Bolukbasi.
www.naturessongretreat.com
This is the serene retreat center, surrounded by nature, where I hold many of my workshops. Turkeys and deer stroll by. A fire crackles in the fireplace. The stillness encourages us to go deep.
