Welcome!

I love to write and I love to dance, and I use both as vehicles for my work as a healer. Improvisation is what I teach, and as every moment seems to bring unbidden opportunities from the universe, every day of my life is filled with beauty and surprise. Ecstatic experience is the goal of my work, and I see ecstasy as the ultimate healer of all, from the personal to the cosmic. 

Over the years I have:

  • given birth to three children; 
  • been a midwife in India; 
  • sung in a Gospel choir; 
  • started a farm; 
  • taught my technique of dance healing; 
  • started a hunger organization, Daily Bread; 
  • built a strawbale house; 
  • written 11 books on matter and spirit and 
  • been married to the same man for 50 years. 

I feel I am here to help make the transition from a materialistic culture to a culture that recognizes that we are all connected with each other, with the earth and with the cosmos. I live in Berkeley, California with my husband and have 4 grandchildren. 

You can read my latest articles and keep up with my interviews in my personal news blog. You can also read all about my books, including my latest title from Findhorn Press, Serious Fun: Ingenious Improvisations on Money, Food, Waste, Water & Home

I am also pleased to host the interactive Serious Fun Blog, where my collaborator Christina Bertea and I hope you will submit your own ideas about how to "save the planet while laughing, sharing and strengthening communities." There are introductions to Christina and to the Serious Fun Blog, along with instructions on how to use the blog and some lists to spark your own ideas about what to post.
