This is a very informal meditation technique, designed to allow you, no matter what your experience, to "Start where you are". The form of meditation that I teach is based on Tibetan Buddhist meditation, using both mindfullness and single pointed meditation, along with breathing, chakra work, and movement.  Since I am fascinated with consciousness and the brain, I try to demystify some of how we operate mentally through what I have learned about neuroscience, I have been a meditation student for …

Wikipedia states "a salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th century and 18th centuries, were car …

Basic Instinct is an Environmentally-Specific Women's Self-Protection Training Course. If that sounds like a mouthful, it is, but the idea is rather simple. We train women in real locations where we know statistically they are most likely to be attacked and or harassed. This is a unique quality to women's self-protection training that no one else is teaching. Also, what makes us different from the rest is that we spend a good amount of time training students in awareness. If you can see a violen …

We often hear these days that women are going to change the world and that we're the ones we’ve all been waiting for. But, we have to change ourselves in order to change the world. Entrenched patterns in our psyches and culture that go back generations too often dog our attempts to move beyond the status quo. Even with the breakthroughs of the last fifty years, old impulses, desires and beliefs still largely dictate our identities as women. While each one of us bears the weight of history, we al …
