You know that "I need a vacation from my vacation" feeling? Let's try something different. Come back instead feeling refreshed, nourished, and more peaceful. Consider joining me for a transcendent retreat led by Stacie Finucan and Tammy Black at a beautiful beachfront property in Troncones, Mexico in February 2025 for a week of simplicity, ease, and deep relaxation.

I love to see Reiki getting some serious-minded attention by more traditional scientists, and appreciate the recognition here that quite a few things have efficacy without us understanding why. "Real" or otherwise, the data do support the utility of Reiki, and it is one of my favorite support techniques. Ping me if you have questions about it!

The energy therapy is now available in many hospitals. What its ascendance says about shifts in how American patients and doctors think about health care.

I know the afternoon bus rides to Hell where you sit frozen with fear, praying to just become invisible. I know the locker room beat-downs and the lu...

It is to be hoped that, ultimately, good will come from the media firestorm denouncing Donald Trump's recently-released comments detailing his history as a perpetrator of sexual assault.

Through programs to support survivors, educate the public about sexual violence, and improve public policy, RAINN is helping people like Lucy.
