Bliss Dance is a moving meditation done to passionate world music in a supportive circle of community. (It is also known as Sacred Circle Dance.) The village style dances are always simple and accessible, and taught anew every time.

… No matter our race, gender, age, religion or belief system, this common experience exists for all human beings.

The truth is: We All have Rhythm! Rhythm is our natural inheritance. It exists in our bodies, our hearts, our breath. It exists in the vibration of atoms, the cycles of the seasons, the ticking of clocks, the orbit of …

As we age, we need strategies to keep our bodies healthy, particularly if we do not accept treating symptoms with drugs and surgery.

Members of Health Yourself! will discover and share ideas so we can institute them in our lives, and bring them to our friends, family, and community.

  I have been seeing, hearing and feeling spirit my whole life. I am a devoted student of life and a passionate believer that our loved ones who have passed on continue to communicate with us long after their bodies have left this earth—if we learn how to hear them. There is nothing more healing than to give or receive an evidential message from our loved ones in spirit. I believe that each of us has that gift to some degree.  For those who wish to develop their extra-sensory gifts, I offer cl …
