Thank you for pausing in your life to check out my creations.

The healing arts have always fit my soul. In the 80s I moved to Japan to study Butoh Dance with Min Tanaka and his dance troupe. In the late 80s, dancer Anna Halprin encouraged me to join her Life Art process training, which applies movement, art, and writing to a whole system healing gestalt. This work is an exciting bridge to both our individual subconscious and a potential means of social consciousness in community. It is life blood. Most of the work on this site is in the vein of the Tamalpa Life Art Process.

I am certified in Rosen Method Bodywork, the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, Shafaw to level 3 with Grand Master Behrooz Danadoost, and Core Energetic Therapy (based on applying Reichian principles), both on and off the table somatic processing. Since childhood I’ve been drawn to subtle and intuitive ways of perceiving the body and its transitions, particularly the thresholds of birth and death. I participate in the Diamond Approach Ridwan School, as well as many other growth opportunities with private guides and groups.

Having a son and a daughter have been the most wonderful experiences in my life.

In 2022 I completed a visual art BA from Brown University, and have always appreciated cultivating skills in the arts.

There is so much to appreciate in this life.
Enjoy,
Marianne
