Today is the winter solstice (when I wrote this; not necessarily when you get it!), which marks a turning point as the darkest day of the year and the start of the returning light. Even as the demands of the holiday season (shopping, parties, obligatory events) tend to draw us outside of ourselves, this time of year is a great time to turn inward and reflect on what has enriched us in the past year. I spent a great deal of time in 2011 delving into Brene Brown (http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr= Read more

We are excited about our upcoming One-Day Fertile Soul retreat (http://www.acudenver.com/workshops.htm) which happens on Sunday, October 2 from 9:00AM-7:00 PM. This day-long workshop has proven to be one of my favorite experiences to share with my patients and other attendees. The presentation is full of information, the work is deep and heart-centered, and by the end of the day everyone feels supported, uplifted, and hopeful. I invite anyone who needs a day of nurturing, connection and heal Read more

We are excited to be offering another one-day Fertile Soul Reclaim Your Fertility mini-retreat (http://www.acudenver.com/workshops.htm) on Sunday, October 2nd. This day-long workshop proves to be inspiring, rejuvenating and empowering for all who attend. After the last workshop, one of the participants shared her experience with me in an email: I was checking out your website when I saw the One Day Fertile Soul Retreat info and I knew I would be going! That day was one of the most amazin Read more

I am gripped by the images coming out of the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia) right now. Up to 2000 children are dying daily and millions of people are at risk due to the current drought-- the worst the region has seen in 60 years. The political situation in Somalia makes the crisis even more acute and life-threatening there. It's easy to sit back or turn away when we are faced with suffering on a massive scale like this. But each of us can make a difference by giving to ai Read more

I so enjoyed leading our first meditation class and session in the new healing sanctuary at Acupuncture Denver today. It's always good to recall meditation instruction for myself and to spend time sitting in a group. It was a great way to spend sunday morning! We will continue to offer meditation classes/sitting practice on last Sunday of each month. Please see our classes (http://acudenver.com/classes.htm) page for more information. As long as there is no class happening, all of our pat Read more

We just had an amazing time at Colorado's first Fertile Soul (http://www.thefertilesoul.com) retreat last weekend. It's been about 6 years since my first retreat and I was so glad to be back to soak in the comfortable waters of yin-based healing (and the awesome pool at Interlocken Omni). We had an incredible group of courageous, vulnerable, strong, beautiful women (and one brave man) there to share in the long weekend of healing, sharing and inspiration. While we spent some time discus Read more
