Hello there, Last month the focus of my special topic lecture was all on the somatic and nervous system approach to healing sexual trauma. In case you missed it, I wanted to showcase this lecture today. While the scope of this subject is broad and complex, [...]
What do you think: Can the all too often vilified emotion we know as anger be medicine? In my personal and professional experience, it is one hundred percent medicine when we know what anger’s purpose actually is, what our biological capacity for it is, and then how to [...]

Over the past year I’ve been learning a little more about the importance of soil health, biodiversity in our ecosystems, as well as the deleterious effects of monocropping. Now, while I will most likely not go back to university to study sustainable agricultural practices, or start my own [...]
I’ve often joked that witnessing what I teach and guide people through, the practical stuff, is about as exciting as watching paint dry!! (This ‘watching paint dry’ effect is because so much of the practical work is focused on noticing and tracking internal sensations, small slow movements of [...]
