Arts Training

• Butoh Dance with Min Tanaka
• Tamalpa Life Art Process – applies movement, art, and writing to a whole system healing gestalt. This work is a bridge to both our individual subconscious and a potential means of social consciousness in community.
• Visual Arts BA from Brown University

Somatics Certification

Both on and off the table somatic processing:

• Rosen Method Bodywork
• Barbara Brennan School of Healing
• Shafaw level 3
• Core Energetics (based on applying Reichian principles)
• Aesclepion Birthing Center of Marin (spiritual midwifery and transmedium healing)

Creating the multimedia pieces on this site has brought me sincere joy. My deep thanks go to the Tamalpa Institute, whose training makes it possible to share the artistic process with others.

Since childhood I’ve been drawn to subtle and intuitive ways of perceiving the body-soul connection and its transitions. Birthing and raising a son and a daughter have been the most significant experiences in my life. As a spiritual practice, I participate in the Diamond Approach Ridhwan School.

With appreciation,
Marianne
