NEW! "To You Who Dance, Poems in the Rhythm of Life Dancing" by Don Ash, PT, CSTA-CP-I

This is a read for everyone. Read one way, a poetic look at the natural glory of nature by the ocean, walking in the woods, exploring our feelings in the movement of life in our world. And read in another way a celebration of the natural rhythms of the world in all manner of water, from a quiet pond in the forest to the energy, awareness, feelings, and emotions within the living waters of CSF, lymphatics, and the intentional consciousness exploring the meaning of love, joy, pleasure, pain and our therapeutic goal to understand and move through our suffering, to make us know we are not alone. Don Ash's granddaughter, Cameran, (then 3 or 4 years old) on the cover reminds us life is made for all of us to explore and dance through. This is a recommended read for all our Somato-Emotional Processing classes. (copyright 2023)
