Professional Background |
My initial exposure to Voice Dialogue came in the years 1987 and 1988 as part of my Hellerwork Structural bodywork training. I immediately took to this elegant way of working with selves and started combining body centered awareness with voice dialogue facilitation.
My love affair with the work deepened as I started attending Drs.Stone Mendocino Intensives starting in 1995.
I have continued to study directly with Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone, accruing over 600 hours of personal training,
I became a Senior Staff member in 2001 and have continued to have the honor and pleasure to staff at their yearly intensives.
I find that this direct ongoing apprenticing with my teachers is the best way to continue to unfold and awaken the great ongoing mystery that is the Aware Ego process.
I completed my training as a Hellerwork Practitioner in 1987 and have continued to offer this powerful way of unwinding the body/mind through the eleven session series.
I have co-created, with Jonah Koslen, the "Sitting with Selves" contemplation method as well as "Couplettes", a new way to communicate in relationship.
Both these techniques are designed to encourage the strengthening of the Aware ego process.
