There were 26 of us practicing our skills at teaching Soul Motion. View the video.

Out of that training, 6 of us have been authorized to teach classes and be mentored by Vinn and Zuza.

A weekly Soul Motion class on Thursdays, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM will start in February at the Oasis. Vinn is an artist, and his work is constantly changing, so my class will be based on the most current version of Soul Motion. The cost is $10 per class.

I’m also going to teach a Renewal Class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 AM to 10:15 AM. I’m very excited about this class. It’s an opportunity for you to try out my favorite products for renewing and restoring your body. The cost is $10 per class.

Currently, I teach Couples Massage at Portland Community College. I’m going to supplement those teachings with a class in my space. The advantage will be more freedom, a better setting to explore the work and massage tables to work on. The cost is $95 per couple which includes a free bottle of massage oil and instructions for doing massage at home.

On Wednesday nights, beginning February 4th, I will have Movie Night from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. I’ll announce my film choice soon. The cost is $5.

Also, I’ll hold free Brown Bag Lunch meetings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week. Tuesdays will be a discussion about Health and Well Being and Wednesdays will be about building your business. 

On February 11th, I will have a Couples Massage night from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM. This is a great way to learn how to give and receive massage. The cost is $10.

Feel free to stop by and see the beautiful space I created. There are still opportunities for you to participate, as a volunteer to trade for classes, or to rent space. We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

I’ve had my Internet retail business, All About Network, in my home for 10 years now. This summer, I got a Notice of Violation from the city saying that complaints had been filed regarding my running a business in a residential area.

For a moment, I thought about finding whom in the neighborhood would have complained and, after contemplating sticking needles in a doll with their faces on it, I quickly decided to turn this negative into an opportunity.

So, after a month of searching, I found the ideal space: 537 SE Ash Street in Portland, Oregon. See, for a long, long time I’ve been a dancer, a massage therapist, and a psychotherapist, but those loves all took a back seat to the Internet business, which is where the money was coming in. Now, I am going to have 5000 sq. ft. to manifest my vision. Check out the pictures! So far, it’s still a work in progress.

I’m using Feng Shui guidelines to construct the site. Gwynne Warner, Feng Shui consultant, and Jeffrey Allen, interior designer are my mentors.

I’m going to have the East room as a healing arts center, to do my Sound and Movement as Medicine work. I will also produce workshops with people whose work I love – like Robin Chilstrom doing Tribal Singing and Susan Banyas doing Soul Stories.

In the mornings, I will have a Renewal class, when people get to use the equipment we sell. We’ll use the products I use every day. There will also be a Morning Practice class, which will be for people who have enough of a background in movement to do Authentic Movement, stretching, and their own personal movement practice, alone, or with others. I’ll also be teaching my Soul Motion work and Yamuna Body Rolling practice.

The West room will house the Internet business, and a showroom where people can try out our products. There will also be space for community meetings. I want to do groups that deal with Conversations That Matter, sustainability issues, showing documentaries and discussing them, etc.

That is enough for now. Keep in touch. We are having a Blessing Ceremony on Friday, October 24th. We’ll be moving in on October 26th and our Open House will be in November.
