Finding my voice and self-discovery
So..’tell me about yourself’ is a question we’ve all gotten, and most of us dread answering.
Doesn’t have to be that way.

Mary Oliver: Morning Poem
Every morning
the world
is created.
Under the orange
sticks of the sun
the heaped
ashes of the night
turn into leaves again
and fasten themselves to the high branches–
and the ponds appear
like black cloth
on which are painted islands
of summer lilies.
If it is your nature
to be happy
you will swim away along the soft trails
for hours, your imagination
alighting everywhere.
And if your spirit
carries within it
the thorn
that is heavier than lead–
if it’s all you can do
to keep on trudging–
there is still
somewhere deep within you
a beast shouting that the earth
is exactly what it wanted–
each pond with its blazing lilies
is a prayer heard and answered
lavishly,
every morning,
whether or not
you have ever dared to be happy,
whether or not
you have ever dared to pray.
when you deal with someone who talk about feeling lost, or not connected, or drift –
you cannot get back into any kind of real connection by talking about the fact that they aren’t connected - ‘you should do this, you should do that’ - it doesn’t work that way.
you’ve got to show them, how to connect.
Alexander Lowen
The work starts at the core level of the nervous system and then deepens into an open heart space; from there, we connect with life more fully, freely & authentically
