"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." -Carl Jung
I'm SO in love with what I'm teaching...Stripping to women of all shapes,sizes, and attitudes! I have seen women wake up to themselves in the most beautiful and profound ways. YUM! I'm aware that what I'm teaching walks the line between the sacred and the profane. I feel consistenly challenged to to let go of my pre-conceptions and surrender my heart open.
I was led to teach Stripping through my experience as a counselor. I'm fascinated by the connection between how we experience life and how we hold our bodies. There is so much aliveness in us that remains unclaimed. Kids are so juicy and connected. What happened? How do we learn to trust again that deeply? How do we reclaim our capacity to celebrate life? What if we could use the fire of our sexual energy to set our heart ablaze and meet life with the same passion we would meet our lover?
I've learned that when a woman is disconnected in her dance she seems like she is giving herself away. However, if she dances from a place of intense presence, her dance is a meditation on love. Throwing out the learned "sexy face" and dancing with authenticity is POWERFUL both for the person dancing and for the person witnessing. It liberates the whole room to experience the many faces of God. My llife has been a commitment to open and I'm honored to guide others through that process.

I've been in the WWeek a few times recently.
I'd like to meet:
Someone who's eyes burn with passion when he or she talks. Someone who will not except less then my deepest heart. Someone who has peeked into the depths of who they are and laughed in ecstasy and pain at what they saw.
Someone who will talk with conviction, tickle me when I get stuck in my head, and laugh heartily with the awareness that at the end of the day we are all full of crap.
Having said that...suprise me! I've met all sorts of awesome folk through myspace. Recently I've been contacted by a ballet dancer, a dj, a helicopter pilot, and some naked man who I think is a carpenter? I'm starting to realize that what I think I want and what I need may not be the same. I want to live life and not just talk about it.
Oh yes, and men and women from abroad. I've been in the USA for two years now and I need an excuse to travel:-)
Music:
Anything juicy with a beat that drives my body to move or enough emotion to make me see life differently. I do a lot of ecstatic dancing in Portland. Just depends on my mood. Trip hop, rap, trance, world music, girlie fav's, heavy metal...there's always at least one song I love.
Movies:
I love Harold and Maude, American Beauty, Star Trek (but not the original series), Amelie, sci fi ect. I've done my share of art films but now am happy to watch anything that has a happy and sappy ending. I've been a movie nut since I was tiny and peed in my Mom's lap in the theater cause I didn't want to miss anything.

(My sweet friend who's taken most of these pics suddenly discovers the Vulva puppet I use for teaching and is delighted)
Television:
I love snuggling up to movies. Now I watch TV at Marcia's house so I can hang with her and the cats.
(Marcia is my wonderful friend and Seth's sweetie)
Books:
I'm creating the outline for 2 courses I'm teaching so I'm busy doing research. One is an 8 week initiation for women and the other is a workshop for men on how to open a woman simply by looking at her. Right now my head is buried in David Deida's "The Way of the Superior Man," and "Dear Lover."
Heroes:
Anyone who takes a chance and reveals something about themselves that feels raw and vulnerable. I think that's the recipe to falling in love. I've met people who seem completely different then me..murderers, big biz men, stay at home Mom's, the woman with purple hair in the nursing home, and the minute one of us shares anything beneath the surface there is an instant recognition. Oh yeah....
