Welcome

My site is large and diverse and dedicated to growth and learning in all forms. You might say that I am a "process warrior". I've been on a personal growth journey for many years that has taken me to many beautiful and illuminated places and some dark corners too. One of my discoveries is that I have many complex, interesting, and some really fun parts of my personality. This does not mean multiple personality disorder. Check out my integrative healing links for information about personality parts and the book "Embracing Ourselves".

I am a veteran bodyworker, having worked on thousands of people for 19 years. I have been studying many different advanced and alternative body/mind techniques for years. One of my discoveries is that the body is the key to ALL realms (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I have information to share which will promote an understanding of the benefits of many kinds of integrative bodywork, process, and healing techniques.

My spirituality is very important to me and I am very eclectic in my spiritual practices but the best description is that I am a "taoistic" shamanic practioner. It is my intention to allow my soul to work as fully in my life as possible. I have many pages dedicated to Spirit of all kinds and especially The Great Mother in many forms.

I am very proud to be married to my husband Mike for 28 years. He is a very special person. He lost most of his hearing as a young child but has lived in the hearing world very successfully all of his life. We lived in Israel from 1986 to 1988 with my oldest daughter who was 2 at the time and my youngest daughter was born there. I was already undergoing a spiritual awakening before we went and the experience of being around so many people from all over the world and different religions changed my perspective on life forever.

I also love art and color and have developed a passion for learning how to make computer graphics. I have been having alot of fun redoing my webpages. I am proud that I have learned to do my own graphics and am learning html. The font I have used for most of my pages is Bucephalus and can be downloaded here. I hope you enjoy your visit to Dancing Star. The links below are main categories and will each take you to other pages. There is also link to my daughter's webpage at Do You Dream. Hugs, Iris
