Prioritizing Self-care through Creativity: "Wild women are the love we seek" A 9-Month weekly group in which we work in the flow of movement, writing, painting (drawing), sounding, poetry, clay, natural elements, touch, and storytelling to embody the stories of our souls we want to live rather than our conditioned selves. We will explore old stories that hold you back and write new ones that align with your soul. We will connect with our bodies to de-shame and empower our sensuality and reclaim our connection to the earth in the safety of women coming together.

I developed a gift for dream interpretation early in life. In this group participants practice and gradually gain expertise in the interpretation of their own dreams. We discuss the nature of symbolic dream material, metaphors, archetypes, world mythologies and psychodynamic patterns and processes that reveal themselves in our dream life. I have been practicing dream interpretation for almost 40 year, teaching at the Sophia Center of Holy Names University in Oakland, CA for 15 years and now at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of UC Berkeley.

I have been leading a cancer and cancer treatment support group at San Quentin State prison since 2015. I have been deeply moved by the courage and fortitude of my patients as they have faced various cancers and the challenges of different treatments. In the group they are enormously supportive of each other - in ways practical and deeply spiritual. My group in the community follows the same basic open processing model, and supports developing a ferocious fight for life and a softening and opening to the lessons of the totally shocking vulnerability of cancer.
