BEYOND TALK THERAPY: Is Brainspotting Better Than Talk Therapy?
Talk therapy absolutely can be beneficial and uses our higher thinking brains. Yet as some point, talk therapy is limited because it is not able to access the lower parts of the brain where we hold stress and trauma responses. Talk therapy alone is often not enough to heal human issues.

Yoga for Wellness!
I was introduced to the practice of yoga in the Summer of 2000 by a new friend I met in a train station in Italy. She took me to my first sweaty, hot Bikram’s yoga class once we returned to Madison, WI where we were both undergrads.

Doorways to the Soul
Talking about soul and spirit touches on some of the great existential questions of life! A wonderful place to explore and investigate what soul and spirit mean to you is through your body with movement, on a dance floor! All classes over the next several months will be moving with SPIRIT and SOUL. Come checkout a SOUL MOVES class. Come investigate these on the dance floor, Sunday, February 25, 2024!
The Core Movement Resource of Dissolve
An embodied sense of dissolve allows us to move through life with ease. Without dissolve we remain stuck, reluctant, holding onto the past, or unable to connect with our soul and spirit.
Come encounter dissolve on Saturday, January 20, 2024 from 6:30-8pm at Inspiring Actions in River Falls. Your soul will thank you. 💕

The Holiday PAUSE: Joy, Cheer, Stress, Grief, and Loneliness
The holidays can get busy, running from events to stores to school concerts, they can bring cheer and joy, and they can bring stress, grief, and loneliness.
One of the best ways that I have found to handle big emotions is the resource-based conscious movement practice of Open Floor International. It provides connection, support, and allows your body to regulate. PAUSE is one of Open Floor International’s core movement resources.
HUNGER FOR SPIRIT
Our hunger for SPIRIT is the “holy longing” we feel to connect beyond what we can see, to be held, and guided as we move through life. To seek “refuge” in the great mystery. We work on dissolving our identities and the labels we carry to sense our pure essence.
The Embodied Soul!
The gift of an embodied soul is connecting to something beyond ourselves, to sense deep meaning in life, and to be with all that is around and in us (the natural world, others, and presence of self). Working with embodied soul allows us to:
-Tap into Lifeforce/Source/God energy
-Enliven
-Navigate via our internal compass as we make life choices
-Cultivate authenticity, creativity, and intuition
-Dance with mystery and uncertainty
All classes over the next several months will be moving with SPIRIT and SOUL. Come checkout a SOUL MOVES class and the Sweet Surrender MINI RETREAT Turn-of-the-Year.
