Designing the space and manifesting the next part of my journey is an exciting process. So far, I’m pretty certain this new venture is going to be called “Oasis”. The tagline will be something like “Rest, Rejuvenate, Renew”. I’m still working on the third word.

My vision for the space is a combination of continuing the work that matters to me and providing a space for my community to develop and thrive. I look forward to offering to you some of the things I love. The process that feels closest to my heart is the work I’ve developed: Sound, Movement and Massage as Medicine.

I’ll be teaching a Renewal Class in the mornings that will just be what I would normally do on my own at home; all the toys I love to play with, like the Chi Machine, Yamuna Body Rolling products, the TheraCane will all be available for community use.

Another process I love is Morning Practice. We’ll be stretching and moving, alone and with each other, in a free form way that is about opening up to the new day that is emerging and helping people find themselves through their bodies. Some of this is Authentic Movement.

I will also continue to teach massage, either Neck and Shoulder Massage or Couples Massage.

There will also be other teachers whose work I love and admire. I will send you the information about these teachers and their work as soon as I have confirmation, but there will be Storytelling, Sounding and Massage.

I am looking forward to sponsoring “Sundays at Seven” again. This is a form where dancers and performers get to show works in progress to an audience and get feedback.

I’m going to have community building events, like Conversations That Matter and movie nights, especially documentaries and local filmmakers.

Then, of course, there will be our line of products. I’m looking forward to having stations where people can come in, view our Menu, and rent our products for an hour.

That’s all I can think of for now. I will keep you updated. I would love to hear any thoughts or ideas on how this space might make your life better.
