Newsletter VII: November 2009
Fall has arrived in full force. As I write this I can hear my winter supply of firewood being unloaded in the driveway. This is reassuring given the current temperature!
Recently we had a wonderful workshop with Cornelia Gerken, "Finding Ease In Your Body as a Gate to Your Essence". I believe everyone left feeling safe and expanded, reaching their goals for the weekend. As soon as Cornelia returns from teaching in South America I will invite her back to Seattle. Look for information about her return visit in future newsletters.
Meanwhile, the next season brings several new activities to BPS, such as the group "Active Dream Play" which will be starting in early November. I will also continue to do the things that have been working well for my practice and those of you who support me. Read on to find upcoming events at BPS!

Feature Articles & News
Generally I try to write a feature article for every newsletter I publish. I have recently been selected as the Body-Psychotherapy Topic Expert for a large website called GoodTherapy.org. This means I will be publishing a brief article on their site every month, as well as facilitating a discussion generated by the information. The site is used by both the public and professionals.
Since I don't send a newsletter every month there will be more articles than you will see here. I may reprint some of the articles in the newsletter and I definitely will be providing the link to the articles. My recent article, "Why the Body?" has just been published. Please click on the link and scroll down to the articles section. If you haven't already you can also read my previous article "A Brief History of Body-Psychotherapy" while you are there. Be sure to add your comments, experience, questions and suggestions to the discussion, and feel free to bookmark this link!

Ratziel Bander and Hsin Tao Returns to Seattle
I am currently making arrangements for Ratziel Bander to return to Seattle this coming January. He will be in town from the 22nd-31st. For those of you who are new to my work, Ratziel teaches Hsin Tao, a set of 3 simple exercises that regenerate the body, mind and spirit. They are very beautiful and easy to practice and bring about many changes in one's life. Hsin Tao contains the seed movements to many martial arts techniques and was practiced by the highest ranking monks in the inner circle of the Shaolin Monastery. They were kept secret until the cultural revolution.
I would love to hear from those of you who are already practicing Hsin Tao as to how I can arrange refresher courses, private sessions or other workshops with Ratziel that would be helpful to you. He will of course be available through the week for healing sessions and readings, just let me know if you want to schedule with him. So far I anticipate that he will be speaking at East-West Bookstore on Friday evening, January 22nd and there will be a Basic Hsin Tao workshop on Saturday, January 30th. More events and classes will be scheduled and you can read about them in future newsletters. You can also check my website for current information.

Space Wanted!
I find that I am wanting to expand my groups and workshop offerings which has me constantly looking for larger spaces to work. I am gathering information about local spaces available, either to rent for an event, to lease on an ongoing basis or that are for sale. The space must be aesthetically pleasing, 600 plus sq. ft., open so people can move around and make noise and easily accessible. If you know of venues available please let me know!

Lotus Cushion & Hsin Tao DVD's
This beautiful little stool was designed especially for practicing Hsin Tao. It is also useful for meditation. It is light and it folds up and is easy to pack for travel and ensures that you always have a good solid support for your practice. They come in many lovely colors! They are being sold in a gallery in Los Angeles for $140. If you are interested in ordering one please contact Marcelle Danan at the following link.
Also, I should be getting a shipment of the DVD "The Miracle of Hsin Tao" any day. This DVD has all of the basic Hsin Tao exercises in a form you can practice with. It is a really nice way to boost your practice and can be used even if you haven't yet had the basic workshop. Just give me a call if you want one, (206) 910-9766.
