My longtime friend and co-conspirator, Laurie Criego, wrote and produced the movie, Mother Nature and the Doomsday Prepper. This light-hearted, fun movie offers some comic relief on an important topic. Lately, I can relate to the “doomsday blues” all too well! The Annunciation church shooting hit too close to home, with my family having many ties and experiences there. At times, my concerns have felt over-powering and my thoughts clouded by sadness, worry, doubt, and […]

We are in Colorado exploring and enjoying the mountains and countryside, but feeling quite unsettled. Many things are not formed yet. Jerry’s job is still in start-up mode. I’m looking for retreat resorts, and, areas to live. We have no permanent place to call home yet; no established structures nor routines. It is a new way, a new area, a new community. Although it can feel freeing at times, it can also feel uncertain and

In April, the parent company Jerry (my husband) worked for was purchased by new equity partners. Unfortunately, they disbanded the part Jerry was part of, and all 60 guys were let go. Although we sensed something was up, this was shocking news! The night before this happened we played the MOVES game. Jerry’s cards pointed to choosing work that would bring him the most joy. One card he picked was particularly significant: “If you were

What does synergy mean? “Interacting and cooperating with other agents to produce an effect greater than the sum of their separate parts.” It feels like magic. This is how partner dance can move when all the elements are engaged. In a world that separates and isolates, how do we nourish this essence?   For over 30 years, I have been facilitating leaders and teams to engage their “strategic synergy” together. Plus after 20 years teaching partner

I recently found a gift in my Dad’s Caddy. Now mind you, I sold this Caddy a year ago last October to our neighbor and when he called to say he was planning to sell it, I said, “I’ll buy it back”. It was a cherished vehicle in our family with great memories, and I still miss my parents! So what I found tucked away in the glove compartment that was missed between exchanges was

Many minds are spinning and heavily influenced by unconscious thoughts, old patterns and conditioning from decades of unaware projections into this world. This makes communication with yourself and with others flavored with meaningless chatter. Often words and actions are causing separation, confusion, anxiety, anger and fear. Pause, listen, breathe, and observe. Integrate a larger perspective. Welcome those uncomfortable parts, accept, and forgive … (for they know not what they do). Nourish peace within. Reset your

Friends, we are in the big fourth turning, a time of great transformation, as Neal Howe and William Strauss predicted long ago. If you are feeling stressed and out of alignment, you are NOT ALONE! My partner husband, Jerry, and I have been going through challenges with BATS in our house. I felt invaded, and wanted to move out!!! I knew it was important to be friendly with my fears, and find a way to

Awakenings at Dancing Prairie We are living in our new retreat home, Dancing Prairie. Over the last two years, I’ve been healing, letting go, AWAKENING, and building for the future. I’d like to share more with you. Our dancing prairie land and spaces offer new ways to listen, connect, and gather. Join us! Together, we can weave new wisdom and care for our emerging future.  Why? Because our “normal” ways are met with resistance, confusion,

For a long time now, deepening my understanding and intimacy with life has been a healing path for me. I love how James Twyman describes intimacy with a play on words, “Into Me See”. This is a strong motivation behind what I offer at Move As One. By including, cultivating, and integrating intimacy with all our treasures (heaven, earth and humanity), wisdom is realized. On that note, Ivy Kaminsky and I started a new Meetup

Collective trauma is upon us. As a society, we have encountered destructive pain over and over again. The time is now. How do we heal together? In my experience, the healing process begins when something painful is ready to be seen, heard, acknowledged … and even loved. When I’m courageous, I can dive deeper into the pain, curiously explore, and breathe life into it. I believe most of us have worked diligently to awaken spiritually and
