 Something
remarkable happens when I'm at the natural foods store, standing in front of the
bin of Celtic
Sea Salt.
It's like a crowd of long-lost relations has gathered on
the ocean shore as I'm rowing toward them in my wooden boat. They're smiling broadly,
hopping up and down, sending up flares that make the air above them sparkle.
And every cell of my body is waving madly back at them, shedding the weariness
of separation, lit up with homecoming.
Okay, that's a lot of drama for
standing in the aisle at the grocery store. But what do I make of this sense of
coming home?

you well,

Palooza Prize! |  Vulva
Voicings — the undies I entered in Panty
Palooza, the fundraiser for Pittsburgh's Planned
Parenthood Action Fund — won second place in the Wearables category.
The
event organizers featured politically-savvy panties "to raise awareness that
sexuality and reproductive health care are intimate issues" that have been
politicized in ways that undermine women's well-being. The Action Fund raised
more than $15,000 to support women's health.

Grace: Training for Yoga Teachers | As
eating disorders afflict millions of women (and men) of all ages, treatment programs
are turning to mind-body approaches to support the healing process. Yoga
— and the power-centering practice that The
Woman's Belly Book features as The Gutsy Women's Workout — are valuable
resources for both treatment and prevention of eating disorders. I'm
teaming with eating disorders specialist and yoga therapist Deborah
Klinger, MA, LMFT, to assist yoga teachers, treatment facilities, and prevention
programs provide yoga in ways that address their clients' particular needs. The
intention is to offer a practice that helps clients move beyond the body-mind
conflict that eating disorders express to claim the grace — the healing power
— that's available through the body's wisdom. To
book our workshops and presentations, please contact me at lisa@lisasarasohn.com
