I am nearing the end of a three-month somatic trauma therapies training, finishing the year in softness and repair to balance the intensity and depth of the journey.

Trauma is the Great Fragmenter.
The inquiry is: what did it fragment? Self confidence, intimate relationships, body connection, individuation process, dysregulation of motivation, interpersonal connection… most likely it touches several layers and areas.

As someone who works with body awareness and helps people to find balance and relieve pain, this topic is central to my practice.

Word Of The Year Journal cover.
I’m working on a workshop to find our WOTY and create our own journal cover with it, using different mixed media techniques.

It will be a very intentional space of meditative practice and creativity to start the year.

I’ll teach it early January in Havertown.
Details and registration coming soon!

Four years exactly after my first , I went to the women’s health center again and had «normal» results for the first time.

The relief reading that message made me realize the tension I carried, the unknown always threatening, the fear of what could be growing in my breast.

The way I processed my breast health journey was through diving into the mythopoetic and writing. You can read it on my blog: The Indigo Series.

On the first evening of , people love the food and I hear “it is so fresh”, “it’s so delicious”, “it looks as good as it tastes”.

By the third day, everyone understands that this is how we will eat everyday for the whole week: for lunch, for dinner, in small restaurants, in fancy ones, and at picnic.

The food in every place I choose for this retreat is ALWAYS local, fresh, and homemade. It is a delight to support and love the wonderful independent businesses of - and to receive their love and nourishment in return!

IG is not great for these pictures, so are also in my stories and Fb (please save me from social media 😂!).

Every day of is a travel through time. The stories are whispered in the stones and one can feel them while walking in the streets.

Beauty is everywhere, and the mineral quality of this city is extraordinary.
