For your body and soul
I'd like to take the time as we move into our second year , to celebrate the mission of The Shift. Why it exists, and where it is going.

The "Shift" represents that moment, that day, or that period of your life when we start to look at ourselves through other people's eyes. When we stop doing things the way we've always done them (because it's easier and safer) and start becoming vulnerable to the infinite possibilities within us.

My shift began about 3 years ago when I was a happy-go-lucky, falsely independent, forward-pushing entrepreneur. I made decisions that benefited my ego, but never stopped to ask myself "why" I did any of the things I did. Or "why" I attracted the people into my life that I did. I was a creature of patterns and deep rooted beliefs. And then...suddenly those patterned behaviors caught up with me. I (yes me) was chewed out by 4 people within 1 week, and for the first time I could see my actions as others had been. It was not pretty.

My body had a simultaneous
 reaction (as it always does when you are feeling something emotionally). My personal power center literally collapsed. My gut (the house of our 3rd chakra, strength, drive and will) purged itself for 24 hours until I was completely dehydrated and in the hospital for fluids. I had nothing left. No fight. For the first time in my life I said out loud, "Something has got to change". I was ready for help to show up. 
And it did.

This studio was born out of the compost of my old beliefs. 
I knew there had to be a safe but fun place that 
encouraged others  to do their own dirty work.

The Shift is a place that provides the help that we each need once we decide we are on the Inward Journey. Because the body is the physical, tactile expression of our true feelings, we can find "ah-ha!" insights in movement, touch, breath, or vocalization. And conversely, "ah-ha!" moments found through other means like creative experiences, dialogue, sound vibrations, or writing, heal the body physically. This is why you see activities at the studio that are both kinetic AND stationary. When you are ready, healing can come from any and all directions. And once healing begins, it just keeps going, and going, and going...the endless unveiling revealing our true Self.

The studio is growing, and we are attracting some powerful healers and facilitators! If you tend to just come to weekly classes, or haven't been into the studio in a while, you should know that as I introduce you to workshops, talks, and special guests, that you are getting access to a screened selection of individuals who are truly gifted in making room for your healing work. Maybe the most important question to ask yourself  is not, "Will this workshop actually teach me anything?" 
but rather, 
"Am I open enough to receive?"

Oh, the kiosk may be frustrating at times, but it keeps me from going crazy.
