Member of Parliament, Paul Galles, came to politics via the unconventional route of priesthood. We talk about this, his zest for life, philosophies he abides by and the want for happiness for all.   In my latest episode, I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with Paul Galles, a man whose life journey is steered by excitement and a depth of being. Despite leaving the priesthood aged 37, Paul's core values remain in his role as a politician: commitment to faith, community, and the pursuit of happiness for all. Spiritual awakening   As a teenager, we all confront the big questions of life, and that's when Paul's spiritual journey began. Aged 15, he was on a Christian retreat which ignited his connection to God. Coming from a family of mathematicians and scientists, Paul has always been keenly aware of the intersections between faith and reason. Contrary to the notion that religion and science are incompatible, he believes they complement one another. Faith, he asserts, seeks to understand meaning and purpose, while science unravels the mechanics of the universe. His upbringing reinforced the idea that curiosity and belief are not at odds but rather enrich each other, a philosophy that continues to shape his worldview and political approach.   After studying theology, aged 21, he had the opportunity to travel to Brazil to observe the community developed by a Dutch priest who lived there. He was immersed in a vibrant community, "A joyful, lively, young Church that dances and is socially engaged". This experience deepened his faith and ignited a passion for social justice. From Priesthood to Social Advocacy After 11 years as a priest, Paul faced the challenges of remaining celibate, something he feels should not be a requirement for priests. Although he stepped away from the clergy, it was not as a rejection of his spiritual path, but an evolution of it. Transitioning to social work, he joined Young Caritas Luxembourg as a project coordinator, focusing on youth volunteerism in the social sector. His work emphasized the importance of solidarity and community engagement, reflecting his enduring commitment to societal well-being. In 2016, Paul was awarded the prestigious European Citizen Prize for his outstanding contributions to society. This honor, bestowed by the European Parliament, recognizes individuals and organizations that promote European values, solidarity, and cross-border cooperation. For Paul, this was an affirmation of his lifelong mission to serve others, both within and beyond Luxembourg and he dedicated it to the team.  Stepping into the Political Arena Paul's foray into politics was a natural progression of his advocacy work. Joining the Christian Social People's Party (CSV) in 2016, he quickly became a prominent figure, serving as Deputy Secretary-General and later as Vice-President. His electoral success continued through 2017, 2018, and from 2023, where he serves as an Alderman responsible for children and youth in Luxembourg City. Philosophies Rooted in Compassion Central to Paul's ethos is a profound belief in the dignity of every individual and the pursuit of happiness. Inspired by Robert Baden-Powell's words, he emphasizes that true happiness stems not from wealth or career success but from living a life of purpose and love. Paul's commitment extends to environmental justice, social solidarity, and the fight against poverty, with a particular focus on empowering children and youth. A Vision for a Happier Society In my preparation with Paul, he posed some introspective questions that challenge us to reflect on our lives: What are you thankful for? What impresses your heart so deeply? Which wounds of the world do you want to be healed? How do you see the world if you want it to be perfect? These questions, he believes, should be integral to our education system, fostering a generation that values emotional intelligence, creativity, and genuine human connection. Embracing Life's Rhythms Beyond his professional endeavors, Paul finds energy in various passions: a strong network of family and friends, faith, sports, 5Rhythms dance, open-mindedness towards diverse beliefs, astronomy, and philosophy. These interests not only rejuvenate him but also provide a holistic perspective on life, enriching his approach to public service. Paul's story is one of evolution, guided by faith, introspection, and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. His journey from priesthood to politics serves as an inspiring reminder that our paths may change, but the core values of compassion, justice, and love remain steadfast. For a deeper insight into Paul's philosophies and his vision for a happier society, tune in to our full conversation on RTL Today. We do also talk about the Council of Europe but this conversation will be a larger one when I interview Ambassador Ragnhildur Arnljósdóttir in a few weeks time. www.paulgalles.lu https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-galles-b6897429?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app https://www.facebook.com/share/19UyFpEioy/?mibextid=wwXIfr

In this episode, Joe interviews Jeremy Falk: certified instructor and training program developer for Kama Flight; and Dr. David Rabin, MD, Ph.D.: board-certified psychiatrist and neuroscientist, co-founder & chief Medical Officer at Apollo Neuroscience, and advisor to Kama Flight. Kama Flight is a wellness modality for partners, inspired by the movements of Watsu therapy, Thai massage, 5Rhythms, tango, improv dance, and Acroyoga. At the heart of it is the dynamic between the two people engaged in the dance (the ‘base' and the ‘voyager'), which touches on collaboration, leadership, receptivity, strength, surrender, and most importantly, trust. The communication and instant feedback shared between the partners mixed with the healing energy of the somatic movements results in moving stuck energy out of their bodies while also making them more comfortable with touch, agency, and consent – which could be extremely beneficial toward preparing for a psychedelic experience. They talk about: The four principles behind Kama Flight: permission, presence, polarity, and play The humility and humor in people trying (and failing) some of the movements, and how that is healing in itself The huge benefit in people switching between the roles of base and voyager What kind of growth they've seen in clients over extended periods of time The importance of making time for pleasure in our lives and more!

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! On this edition we welcome @hvidmand In the early hours of June 19, 2024, as the first light of dawn kissed the tranquil waters of a nearby lake, hvidmand embarked on a musical journey that transcends time and space. Utilizing the energy of the sunrise, he crafted a DJ set that blends 20 years of expertise with the raw beauty of nature. This set, recorded illegally by tapping power from a nearby restaurant, is a testament to the power of creativity and the human spirit. hvidmand's latest release is a masterful collection of meticulously selected tracks, each with a vocal element, woven together to tell a meaningful story that touches the soul. Featuring songs released before 2010, and even some dating back to 2005, every track is presented in lossless quality and mastered personally by hvidmand for an unparalleled audiophile experience. The set defies conventional structure, with BPMs ranging from 105 to 128, creating a dynamic, non-linear flow. hvidmand incorporates the 5Rhythms model, a modern interpretation of ecstatic dance developed by Gabrielle Roth in the 1970s. This approach explores the five emotional cycles, balancing positive and negative emotions to create a deeply immersive experience. hvidmand's deep understanding of how humans perceive sound frequencies, supported by electroencephalography (EEG) studies, allows him to craft a set that continuously stimulates the brain. By adding and removing frequencies, he creates a healing experience that tickles the mind and soothes the soul. I hope you will enjoy this journey as much as I did!

Remnants of Humanity: Journey Throughout Our Sacred Earth to Restore Balance Held Within the Feminine Dimension by Christine Van Camp ZeccaThe twenty-first century is facing worldwide disintegration. The spiritual systems are falling apart, revealing the lack of all that used to sustain humanity as notions of separation prevail. However, inclusion is essential for survival. Profound love is more powerful than hate, but those in power amplify/ hate, destroying humanity in the process. After the collapse of Western civilization in North America, survivors grounded in healing love flee south. Seven millennia later, an isolated outpost of women wants to share its hard-earned wisdom. These earth-based shamans are losing the energy to continue, unless they can connect with the Underworld of Dreaming Nature to find suitable males to join them. Their quest attracts other “remnants” that also wish to regenerate the planet and return joy to the world. Paradigm shifts are required to reinvigorate the inevitable toxic collapse of a corrupted society, hope rests in the hands of feminine energy and hard-earned wisdom.  She works with creativity and the imaginal realm integrating her background of 30 years of Jungian studies and analysis, DreamTending, and other forms of embodied dream work. She completed BodySoul Rhythms Leadership Training with Marion Woodman that integrates Jung's work with experiential modalities of dream, imaginal work, voice & body expressions with the intention of bringing deeper levels of awareness into our conscious being. Her own practices include painting (since she was 2), Tai Chi (50 years), yoga (20 years), QiGong (6 years), 5Rhythms practice (12 years), Authentic Movement (4 years), Continuum (3 years), Incubation practice rediscovered by Peter Kingsley from Ancient Pre-Socratic philosophers Empedocles & Parmenides (recent) & is currently studying / experiencing Shamanic Trainings:‘The World in Balance' or Katasee (1 year), Visionseeker Trainings and Continuum Private Trainings with Hank Wesselman and Jill Kuykendal: 4 years, completed both one year of VisionSeeker and two years of Advanced Continuum Trainings on two separate occasions.

This sequel to their fascinating discussion about shadow work earlier this year focuses on dreams, as Amara, while dreaming that she was having an acid trip and coming to the realization that dreams and LSD may be sending her to the same place, is researching the similarities between the odd worlds of dreams and psychedelic experiences: Is it the same place? Do the dreams we have after psychedelic experiences continue those visions and ‘Aha!' moments? Can they answer questions for us (the concept of “sleep on it”)? Does dream analysis result in a greater feeling of integration? Can we use the dreams we have before experiences to help guide the experience itself? The conversation goes a lot of places: the many aspects of Jungian psychology; the fluidity of Indigenous perspectives around visible and invisible worlds; how Jung wrote “The Red Book”; the concept of eros and reclaiming our relationship with aliveness; how nature is in constant equilibrium (as are we); how to build a relationship with your dreams; how to work with symbols in dreams; and much more. Ultimately, this episode is about the clash between the conscious and unconscious, the willed and the incidental, and waking life and other realities, and dream analysis and integration work is really tracking vitality in the human psyche: what is alive in us and how does it want to live out in our beings? What makes us come alive? Can our dreams tell us? Click here to head to the show notes page.

In this episode of Vital Psychedelic Conversations, Johanna takes the helm for the first time, hosting a conversation with writer, researcher, 5Rhythms® teacher, and Vital student: Mackenzie Amara; and clinical psychologist, long time PT collaborator, and Vital instructor: Dr. Ido Cohen. As this episode features three huge fans of Jung, they focus less on education and the future of psychedelic therapy, and instead get pretty deep; shining a light on an integral part of psychedelia (and life) we often avoid: the shadow. What is the shadow and what is true shadow work? What did Jung give us, and why is Jungian psychology so relevant for integrating psychedelic experiences?  They discuss the notion of the unconscious as a place you can develop a relationship with and access by very different means; the idea of the healer as the container; the problematic binary of good vs. evil; the flawed concept of ego death; the differences between authentic and neurotic suffering and personal and collective consciousness; the archetype of the wounded healer and why facilitators should both be wounded and in the process of healing; and how wonderful it is that society is beginning to embrace the weird and what makes us unique.  There are no shortcuts in life and there is no "cure" for the parts of the human condition we aren't comfortable with, but in the capitalist, efficiency-above-all-else West, we aren't raised to sit with the unpleasant, and instead learn to seek a quick fix, which has created an environment where we've lost the ability to feel in the ways that we need to. Can you be with someone else's pain if you're running from your own? Can you have real compassion if you've never suffered? Can you be complete without knowing your shadow? www.psychedelicstoday.com

This unification is metaphorically two rivers flowing together into a shared source. Honoring the mana/matsa — the life force — of the healing waters flowing through the sacred land at the Esalen Institute, we will set an intention to gather in community. We will share our stories, honor our differences, and celebrate our unique directions as waypoints that center us. We will breathe life into the endless directions our journeys can lead. In this dynamic program, we will explore: Dance Plant rituals Group sharing Sensory awareness Leadership exercises All levels of experience are welcome. Bring your curiosity and willingness to explore. The Esalen Institute is deeply honored to welcome back the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County to our workshop schedule. This collaboration will be the first in over 10 years, and it will be the catalyst for future partnerships. Acknowledging the presence of the people from this land, on this land, will be a powerful offering for our week together. https://www.esalen.org/workshops/healing-waters-the-medicine-wheel-and-embodied-motion-111422

Conscious dance has been a transformational practice for me. As someone who is regularly caught up in the invisible world of my thoughts, conscious dance practices have invited me to return to the wisdom of my body and the moment. On the dance floor, I find my way back to joy through connecting to the music, to my feet, to my breath, and to community. The experience of dancing without drugs and alcohol while holding the intentions of healing, play, and meaningful connection, has been a blessing for me. Omar Aena, founder of Dance Lab in Brooklyn New York, rejoins the podcast to discuss conscious dance and share a special DJ set he created for this episode. Omar and I have a conversation about what we mean when we say "conscious dance," and explore the defining features we value about it. Omar shares the ancient history of the practice and his uncomfortable initial reaction when he was first introduced to 5Rhythms. We also discuss how consent and listening play a critical role in creating transformational dance experiences. At the end of the episode, Omar plays an Original DJ set that will support you to experience conscious dance wherever you are in the world.

I am grateful to still be dancing with Ann and the caring community she has brought together. In this episode, Ann shares about the essential qualities of a 5Rhythms experience, how she channels the music and verbal cues that she offers, and the first questions she asks private clients. She tells her inspirational and moving story of how dance has been part of her life through the most joyful and challenging moments.

We're getting to grips with one of the world's original wellness destinations: the birthplace of The Human Potential Movement, Gestalt therapy, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and hot tub diplomacy. It's the iconic Esalen Institute, the nonprofit retreat center and community housed in Big Sur, California and, some would argue, the origins of the modern California lifestyle.  Joining us to get deep into the origins of the philosophy of wellness is Esalen Institute alum and Buddhist insight meditation teacher, Lucia Horan. Believe it or not, Lucia was actually born in the Institute itself, so she's been submerged in the world of wellness from her first day on Earth. She was born into the family of 5Rhythms and she's been a certified teacher of it since 1988. We discuss the power of motion and her popular Moon Lodge gatherings, designed to give women the power to come together, share, and see the beauty within themselves.  We then speak to Douglas Drummond, the Director of Healing Arts & Somatics at Esalen, about how he came to the Institute, what the Institute is, what people can get from it, and how the pandemic has changed the way they offer their services to people. Last of all, we sit down with two of the founding members of the Esalen massage school, Peggy Horan & Brita Ostrom. They tell us all about the healing and restorative power of massage and the work that they've pioneered at the institute.  Together, they all offer a fascinating insight into Esalen for people familiar and unfamiliar with the institute's work, alike. If you're just learning about Esalen, this is a great place to start, and if you're a fan, this is a great place to get some info about what you can expect from them moving forward.  Thank You to Our Podcast Sponsor This season's sponsor is the wellness-forward skincare line, Murad.

 In today's podcast I am talking to Francis Michael Eliot about the boarding school Eton. We talk about what his experience were of Eton and how it impacted him. He also shares some insights into how he feels Eton might have impacted the current leaders in the UK by their boarding school education. Here are some of the questions that I ask him (he doesn't answer all in depth): 1. I would love you to share a little about your own boarding school journey. How was it for you? 2. Could you speak about class, prejudice, and 'what it was like to be an Etonian out in the world' 3. "Three people I know thought the education was good but were all very unhappy. Was he unhappy? If so why? What would have made it better?" 4. Or was he happy? What made him happy? 5. What was best, what was worst about it? 6. Did having his own room from the beginning (as I think they do) mean he had his own space? Or was it invaded? 7. 'Boarding school survivors have lived a life very detached from that which most people call 'real life'. Is it possible for the leaders of today, coming from this damaged background, to even understand the society and people they stand for? Should they be required to undergo mental health/therapeutic screening, as the clergy are required to, prior to taking up public office?' 8. Did his father go to Eton? Did his father go to public school? Did his mother go to boarding school? Does Eton en-culture a sense of superior entitlement? 9. Is Johnson a typical product? 10. Was he bullied? 11. Was there discrimination by staff or boys on the basis of race, sexual orientation, wealth or class? 12. Was there fagging while you were there? If so how do you feel it impacted the younger boys? 13. Has he sent a son there? If he can't afford it, would he send a son there if he could? If so, why, if not, why not? 14. Did he attend a boarding prep before Eton? What age did he go, if so? 15. What has Eton given him? What are the downsides? 16. What have you found has really helped you to heal from the trauma of boarding school syndrome? Francis Eliot is a 5Rhythms movement meditation teacher, a non-duality facilitator, and an active father to his two school age sons. He also facilitates deep process men's work. Along with his partner he's recently acquired the historic old ashram in Glastonbury where they will soon be establishing a centre for healing through the creative arts. He's spent decades in the spiritual arena studying with various teachers, and offers us an interesting and inspiring perspective on his life as an Old Etonian. For more information about his work: http://awakenedpresence.org/ And for his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQMzbte1_4g2w3L54lb0ysQ --- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

The Grief Dancer workshop will take place May 14th to 16th, 2021, facilitated by physician and author Peter Selwyn and Lucia Horan, who was trained by Gabrielle Roth, creator of the visionary 5Rhythms method. Using the tools of the 5Rhythms movement practice combined with a process of grief work grounded in emotional presence, non-judgment, and supportive witnessing, participants will come together in a safe space to help heal mind, body, and spirit.  Secure your place for the workshop now at https://www.esalen.org/workshops/grief-dancer.

Join John in his interview with Mackenzie Amara - known to many as the “inked shrink” - as they explore the relationship between trauma and healing, psychedelics and psychosis, and dreams and the underworld. Mackenzie, an early initiate into both psychedelics and psychosis, endured a challenge to her worldview, which subsequently opened the next stage in her life. We discuss Jung's struggle with psychedelics, repression of moment-to-moment authenticity and spontaneity, psychoanalysis as an acid trip, psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, dreams and waking fantasies, Mackenzie provides a personal example of taking a dream seriously and the impact of that attitude and decision making, rational thinking as a means of defense, trigger warnings and cancel culture, the underworld, and the rational, irrational & reason. Bio: By trade Mackenzie is a writer, coach, & 5Rhythms® teacher. By vocation she is a Jungian analyst-in-training & Clinical Psychology doctoral student. By design she is a collection of fractal, holographic cells dancing around some strange attractor for the sake of who knows what to live an insignificant, mythic life reflective of the mysterious vital spark within her. She identifies as a series of memories & unverifiable subjective experiences of self-hood to which she is rather fondly attached. She has a penchant for scholarship, the occult, pedantic erudition, morbid humor, grandiosity, nihilism, & semi-responsible hedonism. Born in the shadow of New Age culture into a fractured family system & the subjective experiencer of (arguably) extreme early childhood trauma, her life's work is to heal psychic wounds—her's & other's—that she & others become strong enough to contend with the unconscious quicksands & transpersonal abysses which lap at the periphery of developing consciousness. She is an emergent property of Being playing at becoming sovereign. She really, really loves butter. https://www.mackenzieamara.com Makenzie's YouTube lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYR9JtlWCHE&t=23s CLASS: http://junghouston.org/program-offering-detail/?id=dfb2b6b6-4eb0-11eb-b993-02dbb43a0b10 Website for The Sacred Speaks: http://www.thesacredspeaks.com WATCH: YouTube for The Sacred Speaks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7Rg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesacredspeaks/ @thesacredspeaks Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesacredspeaks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesacredspeaks/ Brought to you by: https://www.thecenterforhas.com WATCH Get Centered https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdbeVcDXWXezYMkHJg-2duw Theme music provided by: http://www.modernnationsmusic.com

Nameh returns to an earlier Dare to Listen episode focusing on giving ourselves a Good Ending among life's changes. Given all that's been within 2020, life has drastically changed for so many of us.  As we each experience life and the often unanswered questions, perhaps in saying goodbye to a loved one who passed and/or left abruptly, a relationship change or a pandemic causing our lives to upend moving into what we notice and feel can be a way to bring ourselves a 'good ending.' This episode is with Nameh's dear friend Sahar. Nameh was unaware of the potent death of Sahar's childhood friend. Sahar vulnerably shares what was present for him. How numbing was a resource in navigating grief.  The 5 Rhythms community introduced Nameh to the concept 'good ending,' as in how can we give ourselves a good ending.

In this multi-faceted episode, I am so grateful to speak with fellow Jungian Analyst in training and movement magician, Mackenzie Amara, AKA 'THE INKED SHRINK", about the role that culture plays in our minds and in our lives. We go into our mutual love of the intersection of the soma and psyche and how she always includes elements of analytical psychology, myth, alchemy, and shadow work in her teaching and how dance and depth psychology are part and parcel for her and cannot be separated. A few things we talk about:The place that Jungian theory holds in our modern world, and how Jung's wisdom can be used to understand how it's rapidly changingWhat happens when minds socialized by western culture try to absorb eastern philosophy and mysticismWhat it means to recognize our wholeness, and our complexity as individualsThe mercurial nature of being in relationship with other humansThe place and importance of irrationality, non-sense, and non-linear in our lives and mindsGolden nuggets of wisdom from Mackenzie..."That next step is the only thing that you can do right now. So you have to start where you are or otherwise you’re nowhere.""We’ve been culturally programmed and religiously programmed to avoid that recognition [of evil] in ourselves lest we give into too deeply.""When the culture can’t hold the experiences of another culture’s religion or zeitgeist or tradition, you just sort of fall through.""You can’t move beyond the next movement. Whether that’s the next breath, or admission or confession, or the next twirl or the next partner, or the next eye gaze. "About MackenzieBy trade Mackenzie is a writer, coach, & 5Rhythms® teacher.

Movement is a universal language that not only supports us in bodying ourselves, moving through trauma and cohering our body-minds, but also accessing ways to be in relationship with others and the more-than-human. Melissa has been a dear friend and guide on my own path to wholeness and it was such an honour to dive into a dancing-dialogue together.Supporting us in our journey to embodiment and bodying more of ourselves as leaders and stewards of the emerging future, we explore why and how movement is so crucial in coming home to ourselves. How might movement as a practice support us in cultivating coherence and attunement, as embodied leaders?We dive into the theme of cohering our body-minds and processing trauma stored in the nervous system, dance as a practice for life, building capacity by going so deeply into the body that we can go out without losing our ground, as well as the importance of community in these practices as instruments for attunement.This is a juicy one!

What’s 5Rhythms Dance?5Rhythms dance is a practice of continuously welcoming. Welcoming situations, people, whatever surrounds us. It's also a continuous process of welcoming myself as I am at any given moment: my emotions, thoughts, physical state. In this practice welcoming is not a theory, we don't concentrate on how to welcome with our thoughts or with our hearts. Here we put the focus on physical movement. We always ask the same question from us: what movements do this or that inspire? What movement would like to happen in my body? And we continuously welcome those movements.What welcoming movements mean? Welcoming for me means that I give space to it. Like a good host asking: what can I do for you, what would help you feel more relaxed, more comfortable, what do you need to become more free?As we give more space to movements, we always discover something new. As we welcome more and more of what happens in or outside of us, the whole dance becomes more and more interesting. It's a practice of discovery. Discovery of the present moment through our body movements.Is 5Rhythms Dance structured in any way? 5Rhythms has a map, which gives us a framework on how to dance together in a group. First, we dance with the energy or rhythm of flowing. In that, we put our focus on welcoming body sensations. We connect to our physical senses. Then in the rhythm of staccato we connect to others, we start welcoming the presence and movements of other people. In the chaos rhythm, we are welcoming the whole space, all the people, all the movements, and all the empty space in between people. In the lyrical rhythm we just let all these experiences, all these things we welcomed to play in us, to find their spontaneous expressions.The full transcription of the podcast: https://www.kasiamay.com/blog/5rhythms-movement-practice-according-to-peters-fejer/Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=Vm6i9wbh7V9vawDhSAOtnc2T5Uj105Mpbj42skkem_uUGrVJxIDSyk4TRfTXRSSy9i8wmm&country.x=US&locale.x=EN_US )

How can embodiment practises unlock our potential?   In this episode Amisha meets strategist, coach and facilitator Daniela Plattner. Daniela works with movement to unlock and unleash creative confidence.   Since playing footsie with Gabrielle Roth - the founder of 5Rhythms - as a child in a New York restaurant, Daniela has been on a profound personal journey with movement: finding her purpose in the place where her greatest pain and her greatest joy meet.   Daniela speaks to us about embodiment and movement: what it means to her, how it can transform lives and how we can incorporate it into our daily lives. She speaks about the deep integration that happens when we align our mind and body through conscious movement and how we can tap into the intelligence of our body to help us navigate decisions in our lives. Together Amisha and Daniela share stories of healing and releasing trauma through movement, visualisation and deep listening to the body.   “Through my greatest struggles and greatest joys I've again and again come back to the body as my greatest compass and an ally for navigating decisions and choices and life events.” ~ Daniela Plattner   Links from this episode and more at www.thefutureisbeautiful.co

I feel fortunate to connect with Amber Ryan this week to explore a new topic: healing through dance and movement. I was introduced to 5 rhythms and other meditative movement practices several years ago. At first, I was scared and exceedingly uncomfortable, but I was also intrigued. I kept coming back, slowly feeling the joy and freedom that was available through the simple uninhibited movement of my body. NOTE: I have never been a dancer or performer in anyway. Fortunately, such a background is in no way a prerequisite to engaging in such practices. I was enlightened throughout this conversation as I gained insight into how we unconsciously carry and express energy through our bodies in subtle ways. I learned that practices like 5rhythms invite a mindful exploration of mind-body awareness. The implications for health and wellness are vast, as we humans are multidimensional beings!   Links to more... - Show notes and resources: https://alter.health/episode18/ - Get a copy of Dr. Benjamin's book: https://amzn.to/2tmiOz3 - Apply to work with Dr. Benjamin: https://alter.health/membership - Connect on Facebook: https://fb.me/alterhealthinc - Follow Dr. Benjamin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbenjaminalter/

I'm so excited to have my friend Liz Strom here today on the Pursue Your Spark Podcast. Liz is an author, life coach, a double organ transplant survivor, a speaker, a mom, a mentor, and she helps empower women to go from stuck and stressed, to free and able. That sounds right down my alley. Welcome to the show, Liz. I'm so pumped that you're here! Liz Strom: Thank you. Heike: Liz, can you tell us more about yourself. Liz Strom: Yes, that's what I do. I take people from stuck and stressed, to free and able. A lot of it has to do with envisioning, planning, organizing, and reorganizing life. There's a lot that's happened in my own life that I decided I need to help other people get there. Heike: You shared with me that you're the creator of EnVision and a forthcoming book called Led By The Unseen. How do they tie in with your company or your work at that point? Liz Strom: Led By The Unseen is a book that I'm currently writing. The various chapters in that book talk about different things in life that help lead you forward that you can't necessarily see, and it could be something motivational, something spiritual. People that move you forward maybe that you have never met. People that move you forward that come in passing, as well as friends, teachers, leaders, coaches, whatever it is that you have in your life. The different ways in which you receive guidance and motivation is explained throughout the book using my life. That's Led By The Unseen. EnVision is a program I use within my coaching, and Creative Calm Solutions, LLC is my company. The EnVision part of it is to put people "in" and "vision." In their vision, and it helps them to see what's possible in their life. We do a lot of visualization, and we take people to where they think their future should be, and we sit in the moment, and we talk about what it looks like, what it feels like, what it smells like, who they're with, all the different aspects. Then we decide, "Is it really what you wanted in life? Is this really what you're envisioning? Is this really what feels right to you?" If it's not, we tweak the vision a little bit, so it becomes more perfect if you will. There's no such thing as really perfect, but perfect for them at the moment. Then we work towards it. We create a plan so that they can have a feel better life along the way. Heike: Do you mostly work with women, men, or both? Liz Strom: I work with both, but most of my clients are women in their mid-30s and above, but I do have a lot of clients of all age ranges, from 17 to 82. A lot of people just feeling like they're feeling stuck and stressed, or they're not sure what their next steps are going to be. For example, my 17-year-olds don't know what they want to do in college, or what field of studies to pick up, and I'll help them with that, or sometimes they just want to travel, and they're trying to decide which path to take. All the way to my beautiful 82-year-old clients who are trying to figure out what their next steps in life are after they've been through an entire career. Maybe not a career, but staying home with their children and their grandchildren, and feeling like there's something else they should be doing in life, and so we create sessions around that, figure out their next steps and what makes them feel better, and what they should be doing. I also speak at corporate events, and I facilitate workshops for men and women within those companies to do some stress management work. Heike: What did you do before you became the creator of Creative Calm Solutions? Liz Strom: What didn't I do? I did a lot. I found myself in a lot of support roles. I was an executive assistant to different presidents of different companies, people who owned their businesses, which was fantastic for me because I got to learn the ropes kind of the hard way, figure out what works and what doesn't for them. I realized what I wanted to do, what I didn't want to do, watching their processes. I was also a senior sales manager for Hilton, so I was able to go and meet different people from all over the place. Getting to know people of all different backgrounds and upbringings opened up a lot of things in my mind, and I'm able to reconnect with those people now, which is exciting. A lot of it was being kind of the right hand to somebody else. Figuring out what I wanted to do with my own life, in that role. Heike: Which brings me to how we met because she was also the operations instigator of the DC Salsa Meetup. Many, many years back, when Liz, and Mario, and Kathy started the Salsa Meetup Group, I joined the group with such amazing, fun people, dancing salsa all over the DC Metro area. Are you still doing that? Liz Strom: I still am. I love it. I love to see people doing what moves them. You just see people smiling all over the place, learning something new, stepping out of their comfort zone, and there's such a mix of people on the dance floor. Besides the background work of accepting members, sending out messages, and coordinating events, which was fun, I got to be in the front hall, and anytime someone came in, I was the warm, happy face at the front of the door. I would connect other people, and a lot of time I just met some great people like you at these meetups, and I kept in touch. I wanted to tie everyone together; whether it was at my house, events, potlucks, dinners to now this, we're coming together in this capacity. It's so amazing. Heike: That is just so fantastic because I remember the days when I was still very active in salsa, which I've now moved into Argentine tango, but I'm still friends with the core group from maybe 10, 12 years ago. Then we meet again in renewed capacities of in business. Liz Strom: Yeah, absolutely. Heike: Now, during our time together, you met a man named Rolo. We all were super excited that you met somebody so special, so tell us about your lovely husband, and you've mentioned you have a daughter. Liz Strom: Yes, I do. My daughter is 17. She's an amazing, creative soul, and right now she's in high school, so it's nice and quiet in the house. I can have a nice office meeting with you today. My husband Rolo, his real name is Rolando. He is an amazing soul all on his own, and he's also into empowerment and motivation, and he supports me along my journey but has his own things going on, which I love. We both keep busy in positive ways, and when we join together, we kind of create this different force. He has a very different way of going on about life than I do, but it's kind of streamlined. He brings something else to the table that I'm not used to, and I love seeing, and he's just such an open, loving soul. The funny thing is, I met him through a friend from DC Salsa Meetup named Lisha, and she used to be one of the organizers also, so a happy face at the door. Heike: Great! Liz Strom: She moved to San Francisco for the next phase in her life. She made friends there, and I went out to surprise her one year for her birthday, and there Rolo was, just sitting there talking to me. We were friends before anything else began, and then it moved quickly after that. Heike: I remember when we first met him, everybody was, "What? How did she find this guy? They're perfect together." Liz Strom: Admittedly, I was resistant to dating for a long time, especially in the salsa scene, because I was an organizer, and I kind of didn't want to get tied up in dating somebody. Maybe it wouldn't work out, and I didn't want to be that one that they did not want to see at events or whatever it was. I held back for a long time with that dating part of my life, and then when I met him, it was just all walls down. There was nothing to be worried about. He just made me feel at ease immediately, and he said I did the same for him. It was a great pairing of two whole people coming together, creating something else. Heike: I think that came at the right time, because as I shared earlier, you're a double organ transplant survivor, and you're dealing with quite a few health challenges. Liz Strom: Right. Heike: Do you want to talk about that? Liz Strom: Yeah, absolutely. It's part of my journey, and part of why I became a life coach. I have struggled with health issues all my life. I had type two diabetes since I was a child, so most of my growing up contained a lot of restrictions. No eating this, no eating that. Having to take blood tests four times a day at certain times, and insulin injections at certain times. From having low blood sugar reactions to having high blood sugars. Not understanding why, and then eventually understanding why. I was a kid, so I would just eat whatever I wanted to. To have a lot of challenges later in life. Not so much that I was out of control, but because diabetes is a small blood vessel disease that damages things along the way after so many years of having it. When I met Rolando, he was saying he wanted to date. I was holding back in that aspect because I knew I was getting "sicker and sicker." He told me, "I'm with you because you're you, not because you're sick or you're healthy." I trusted him from that point on, and he was with me the day that I found out my kidney was dying. Heike: I remember that. Yeah. Liz Strom: Yeah. It was a tough time, but I had been through so much in life, and I knew I could get through that. I wasn't sure what it was going to look like, so I went through the process with Rolando. Thankfully I was put at the top of the list in my area for organ recipients, and I received a "brand new," kidney and pancreas almost five years ago. Here I am today. I have no diabetes, and I am alive. No dialysis, no problems with my kidneys right now. All my levels are wonderful and going through that process; I knew I had to do something bigger. I couldn't just get away with having these new organs, and not do something with my life. I always wanted to be the one that was known for helping others and developing plans, and my friends come to me for that. I thought, "I need to do this." I needed to train and get there to do what I needed to do, and that's what I'm doing now. I train under Tony Robbins, and Chloe Madanes, Mark and Magali Peysha, as well as Marie Forleo, Danielle LaPorte, so many other beautiful leaders, and they, have opened my eyes to what's possible in that aspect of coaching. Here I am. I began my own coaching business. I help people with their careers, relationships, stress management, feeling better with whatever's going on currently, if they have health conditions or limitations. That's where my health has taken me. Through all that I've been through, I'm trying to lead other people through it also. Heike: What is your most significant limitation at the moment physically? Liz Strom: Physically, I have very low blood pressure. I don't go dancing for that reason, or I dance to really slow songs that make my soul light up. In that capacity, I still have to move and stay healthy, mainly because I have this second chance with the new organs. I do things like 5Rhythms dancing, which helps connect you with your body to figure out what you're feeling, and releasing of emotions, and also taking on the better, bigger ones. I do chair yoga. I do floor yoga, all sorts of things. Sometimes I do regular yoga holding onto a chair, and doing the best that I can. Heike: I think that's so commendable, because you have such a challenge with all your organs and the dizziness, the sight, and all of this, that you are just not beaten down and give up. I am so crazy proud of you. Liz Strom: Thank you. Heike: My heart just sings when I see people who thrive despite all the crap they have to go through. Liz Strom: Yeah. We all go through things, and nobody I know has had an easy life. I thought, "Well, I know people who have gone through way worse." For example, I've had periods of anemia where I have to go to the hospital, and I have to sit in an infusion clinic and get some iron. Of course, I was complaining at 6:45 AM, going to the hospital, sitting there for 20 minutes to get infusions. When I got there, I'm sitting with children that have leukemia, other sorts of cancers, sitting there for their entire day, and smiling. I said to myself, "You better stop complaining. Do something. Make them feel better. They're going through way worse things than you are." There's always somebody going through something different, bigger, whatever it is. You have to make sure you make it through, and if you've made it through, do something more significant with your life, and that's what I decided to take on and do. Heike: Because you're also involved with some organizations that you support. Tell us more about it. Liz Strom: Absolutely. The United Network of Organ Sharing, the National Kidney Foundation, and the American Diabetes Association. I don't know where I'd be if they hadn't published all the information they had online and done all of these charity fundraisers to be able to fund research and events for people going through things as I do. I thought, "I need to give back to those organizations who can make a greater impact nationally, internationally." I decided that through my coaching and my workshops, I give a percentage back to these different organizations. Sometimes it's directly to a patient group. Sometimes it's giving of materials that I have or any kind of services I have to offer. A lot of the times it's the small bit of monetary give back that I can give. I support organizations across the board. Those are the three that I mainly associate with and try to give back for. This year, I'm doing something called The Goddess Workshop. We are funding clean water efforts. We would all not be here if we didn’t have clean water to drink, so this year we decided to start there. I wouldn't be able to, for sure, because with kidney disease, you need to continually drink water, stay hydrated, keep everything healthy. I went to the cellular level of it all and said, "Okay, what can I do on that aspect, to help other people and other children all around the world get cleaner water access?" This year's workshop is dedicated to that. Heike: I'll put the links in the notes for the listeners so they can contact you or find out more about the clean water movement. Liz Strom: Thank you. Heike: That's so amazing. Speaking of clean water, what do you eat, Liz? How do you nourish your body? How careful do you have to be? Liz Strom: The great thing about not having diabetes anymore is that I can eat whatever I want. That's including fruits, any time of the day that I want because as a child, you couldn't do that. Fruits have natural sugar that’s called fructose that raises blood sugar. I couldn't eat that. Now I can. Same thing with milk. If I wanted to put milk in my coffee, I can. Milk has lactose, a long-acting sugar. With kidney disease, for me personally, there are no restrictions. I'm a vegetarian, and the funny thing is, I eat lots and lots of vegetables, and I also eat seafood, milk, and cheese. When I first had surgery, the surgeons told me, "Okay, you have to watch potassium. Don't eat high potassium foods." Of course, that took away everything I was typically used to eating. Spinach, asparagus, tomatoes, all these things. But I'm able to now. Everything is evened out, so I eat whatever I want, but I'm mainly a vegetarian. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables throughout the day, as well as baked goods. I don't restrict myself because that would feel just like I did when I was a child, very restricted. Heike: Now, I have to say this, because I follow Liz also on Instagram, so you guys have to follow Liz on Instagram because you know then what she eats. She goes out and eats the most fabulous food, and you think, "Can she eat all this?" And I tell you, what we heard now is, yes you can. But I'm always amazed at your pictures. Liz Strom: Yeah. Absolutely. You have to infuse your life with things that feel good, experiences that make you feel open and amazing. Literally, I would go on Instagram and put "fun places to eat NYC" as a hashtag and find all the different pictures. I would find somewhere and say, "That's where I want to go." Screenshot it, create a date out of it, and seek it out. This past weekend, for example, I found this beautiful tiny shop in Chinatown called Sweet Moments NYC, and they have the coolest cream art on top of your coffee or tea. There are little happy faces on it. Who couldn't smile? I fill my life with that, and I also teach my clients to do the same thing. You have to make it happen. Plug it into your calendar. Create these sort of trips. You don't want to have regrets later, and this is the way to do it. Live passionately. Seek out these things. For me, it's traveling, finding these fun little foods on Instagram, or maybe it's a whole meal at these fabulous hotels that I stay in every once in a whole with my husband and daughter. They're also enjoying it, and they're going to live with no regrets or as few regrets as possible. This is the fun I have in life, and yes, no restrictions. I can't admit to eating the whole thing of pasta that you see; sometimes I portion it out. Heike: I just remember the little dumplings that you posted this weekend on Instagram. Guys, you have to see that. Oh my god. Makes you want to jump in and eat it. Liz Strom: Yes, we went to a dim sum place in New York, and we were so excited. When they brought out the egg custard tarts, they were these little piggies, and you just couldn't help but smile. Heike: That's so fun. That was my next question. What ignites your fire? What sparks your day? What recharges you? Liz Strom: Food is one of them. Travel is another. People, I love people. I'm an extrovert primarily, with a lot of introverted tendencies. I like to do a lot of introspection and things, but I love people. I love sunshine. I infuse this into my life on a daily basis. I can tell you the first thing I think about is the cup of coffee I'm going to make, because that lights me up, and having little things plugged in through my day. Having conversations with people like you that are amazing, that lights me up. I love YouTube, so I'll go on there and find different people who are inspiring, listen to their stories, and it lights me up to do something more. Water; can't live without water. Movement, music. I love dancing in my own way now, so I'll turn up the music and dance in between chores or cleaning. Heike: Oh, you should come to my house, dance a little bit around my house. Liz Strom: Well, I make my husband and my daughter dance with me too. I can't take all the credit for that, but I add it in. I just infuse it into my daily life. From the small things, from my coffee in the morning to great things, like going to conferences for people who move me, and taking that and using it with my clients, so many things in between. Heike: I know that we both share a love for traveling because I always check where Liz has been, and then I see the pictures she had, and how she got there. So you just recently went Milan correct? Liz Strom: Yes. Heike: I said, "Wow, you went to Milan, just out of the blue?" And she says, "This lights me up. This recharges me. Traveling, seeing new things, eating different foods." Along your travels, you have some gorgeous pictures of you. Liz Strom: Absolutely. We went to Milan, and this was on a whim. We found a great deal, so I just went with my BFF. We created some plans around it and other things we just did on a whim. People watching, different cafes. A lot of people think of Milan, Italy's experience to be buying expensive things. My Milan experience was, "Let's hire a photographer, take pictures of the big, beautiful Duomo in the background to remember the cathedral that we visited, and climb the steps all the way to the top." Heike: Wow. Liz Strom: Then we stood at the top, and looked over the entire city. We took a day trip to Switzerland, and we went up the Alps in a little red train, and just really enjoyed what we were doing. Heike: I love it. You just sparked me up. When I look at your Instagram and your Facebook, you always make me smile. You make me think with thoughtful posts, and spark my imagination. That's why I'm so happy that we are in touch, that we are friends, that I can get some of your energy and pass some of my energy on to you. It's so, so important to be around people like that because we hear a lot of negativity from people - how stressed they are, any of their problems. But to stay on top of that, and overcome this negativity, this stress, the unhappiness, is a hurdle for us too. We're not just always like, "Yoo-hoo." Happy people. We have our ups and downs. Heike: Tell us, what is your plan for the future? Where do you see yourself going with your company? Liz Strom: You have to start with the small tidbits if you will. Right now, I'm trying to finish everything I can with Tony Robbins and Chloe Madanes. I knew right after all of these training sessions ended with Tony Robbins I had to do something else to move me, so I'm going to do yoga challenges, and I'm going to go to more events, and things that move me. Next year, I already have three significant events that I want to attend and go to, so I decided to plug that into my calendar already. Tickets are not available, but I know what day those open, and I can plan that. Then in my business, through all the experiences that I've had under my belt, as well as what I'll learn going forward, I know I can make that explode. Right now, I know I'll be speaking to more companies, helping their employees to manage their stress. I can't tell them to reduce it, but I can help the management manage that to create more of a work-life balance. I know that I'll be traveling more doing that. There are many, many, many companies in the Washington, D.C. area, but I know that I have not to limit myself there, so I envision myself traveling more, doing these workshops, meeting new people. Also, volunteering my time, because I don't only want to give back being paid if you will. I also want to be there for people. For example, with those cancer patients in the infusion area, I want to be able to sit with them, play games, make them feel better, whatever they have the energy to do, and volunteer in that aspect, and just sit and be with friends and family. I have these bigger plans, and then I have these smaller plans that I've plugged into my calendar, so there's a lot there. Heike: Yeah. What would you say as a takeaway for our listeners, for all the active ladies who pursue their spark? Liz Strom: Live passionately. That is one thing that strikes me today. I think every day I feel a little bit of this, "you have to live passionately" part. It can feel a little cliché because people don't know what to do with this "live passionately" thing in their lives. They want to, but they don't know how to do it. Plug it in. Find things that move you. Find events that move you. Whatever it is, plug that in in your calendar, find out when tickets come out, go, and that will be the starting point in your journey. Along the way, you'll find things that light you up, and you'll meet people that move you, and you'll go on Instagram and find those little foods, and that's the way you live passionately. Plugging these things in that you want to do, with the people you want to do it with. Don't leave it to chance, because you'll say, "Yeah, I want to go to the Beyonce concert, and probably with my best friend. Back to work." And they don't plug it in, and it never happens. Heike: Very true. Liz Strom: Live passionately, plug it in, and along the way, all these beautiful things will just kind of erupt, and your heart will keep exploding in these amounts, and life will feel a lot better to you. Plug it in, live passionately. Heike: Now, how can people who want to live passionately reach you? Liz Strom: Absolutely. I'm all over social media. I love connecting with people, even online. My website is www.LizStrom.com. My Instagram and Facebook are both pages are @LizStromOfficial. If you don’t like talking over the phone you can email me, or we can do face-to-face, whatever you prefer, my email is Liz@Lizstrom.com. Heike: I’ll, of course, post them all in the show notes, so don’t rush to get your pen and paper! I am so excited we made this happen after all this time. It just popped into my head that I wanted to share you with my audience. Liz Strom: Thank you so much. I am so very grateful for you, for all you do in the world.

Bronwyn Law is a family advisor in the funeral industry, and today we explore the role of empathy in listening. Bronwyn deals with conversations at the end of people’s lives. This role has given her an extraordinary sense of empathy and lack of assumptions. She has to display absolute presence when helping families make the difficult decisions when emotions are high and people are vulnerable.  This was probably one of the most transformational interviews that I have been a part of. Today’s Topics: Bronwyn shares how she does her job and creates space for people to decide what they would like to do. How Bronwyn knows the pain and depth of sadness of losing a loved one. Bronwyn shares her childhood and background and how she lost her brother when he was 15. Bronwyn also shares her cancer diagnoses when she was 14 and how it was a life changing experience that helped her mature. How Bronwyn became involved in the Make a Wish Foundation. She also shares her life changing experience in Nepal. How Bronwyn’s brother seemed to be doing well before his suicide. The role of silence and the questions that Bronwyn answers for people. The importance of not only listening to the words, but also understanding the meaning of the words as expressed by that person. Doing your best is the last thing you can do in the person’s honor. The balance between it being about the person and for yourself as well. How it is important to listen from a place of real genuine interest. The opportunity of hearing the story of what people have been through. Being present with people as they make necessary decisions to remember their loved one. How the death of a spouse after a long marriage of 50 plus years can be very emotional. Bronwyn is all four listening types. We can all be a lost listener when we are preoccupied. There is a real art to being present. Always take a deep breath before walking into a room and meeting with someone. The 5Rhythms dynamic movement process and Gabrielle Roth. How everything we do in life leaves a rhythm. Listening is not about you, it is all about the other person. The importance of building a connection, dropping assumptions, and being present and available.

Vinn Arjuna Martí, award-winning choreographer, performer, master teacher, and  founder of  Soul Motion, in conversation with Stefana Serafina about the value of pausing amidst the moving moment, the exploration of self,  relationship, and the psyche through the shapes, energy, and movements of the body in motion,  and on the power of bringing dance to "the citizens", people from all backgrounds who find medicine in practicing one of the most ancient expressive arts.  Vinn Arjuna Martí is an award-winning choreographer, global performer, master teacher and founder of  the  conscious dance practice Soul Motion®. Vinn Arjuna has been teaching movement for over 35 years and along the way has trained and worked with many teachers, including Gabrielle Roth of the 5Rhythms. Arjuna has been passionate about bringing  dance and movement to people of all backgrounds and including those who have never trained or performed as dancers. He teaches around the world, and also  trains teachers and facilitators, while  also continuing  to be a student, guided by his curiosity and respect for others's teachings and ideas.   More about Arjuna's work at www.soulmotion.com   WISDOM QUOTES  ‘Movement is life. What is alive is in motion. So what I say to people who say they don't dance is,  I would like to explore with you, when two notes get together and  strike at the same time, and what shows up as a third force, I'd like for you and I to play with that, and to realize the unseen.”     “I always aligned myself with the citizen. Even as a technique oriented dancer, even as a member of the inner circles of 5Rhythms, something always spoke to my heart about wanting to include the excluded. Because everyone thinks, everyone moves… My heart has always been full of desire to reach all people, because all people can shift weight, and all people breathe, and all people focus attention, and all people can have a response… So it's always been a passion of mine to not keep what I have for the “initiated people”, or to somehow separate myself from the citizen."   “The pause-presence is a holy place. It is a whole place. When we pause within being present, the place, the space, the room have a “whole” vibration, a whole signature, a totality of all of us being, listening, doing, understanding, standing under un umbrella that we all share. Something occurs that is not the traditional reaction to stimulus. Pausing is spiritual work, no  doubt about it…. For me too It's too easy to be swept into reaction and to leave what my teacher calls the “base state”, which is that place of presence where the thinking mind is  on relax, and i am truly present to the continuation of what I call the movement moment… There is such great  medicine and  value of pausing within the movement moment, within the continuity of thought patterns, emotional feelings, sound, and shapes of the body, and saying: I am going to pause in the presence of what is occurring and shape-shifting right now, within and without.  For me, pause-presence is the most dynamic part of my dance: That opportunity to sense and understand my total body being guided and lifted and impressed by everyone in the room.”

Interview starts at 14:40 Adam Barley is one of my favorite mentors. He is one of those practical metaphysicians, if you don't mind me saying, who seem to have an in-built urge to become conscious of all learned conditionings and limiting beliefs about self. It can be arduous work, and thanks to his decades of experience and having-been-through-that, I feel safe and supported when he compassionately guides a group of people through their processes. We've met only five times when I have attended his 5Rhythms workshops, twice abroad and three times in my hometown Helsinki, where I've been part of the organizing team each time. Rather soon at some point he started to feel like a friend, and I'd say that tells more about him than me – it is one of his attributes that come from his honesty and openness. (...because I'm as tentative at making friends as your average Finn, so it wasn't me.) In June '16 we had a pleasure to have him over here again, and before the workshop we had time to sit down for a brief chat. Adam talked about a couple of pivotal moments in his life as a teen and a young adult, latter of which led him to the world of 5Rhythms. Some of the other topics we touched were searching the connection in outer world vs.in inner world, the significance of falling when that's what happens, and of course the five rhythms, what they are, the ways they present themselves in Life, and how to use them as a map. - Ville ▶ Adam's homepage ▶ 5Rhythms ▶ Mentioned in discussion: Be Here Now ▶ Truth, Shadows, and the 5Rhythms
