“ Live where you want, but Invest where it makes sense”. Contra Costa County has many of the best investment opportunities in the Bay Area, as well as the entire State. Why go out of state when the deals are right here in your own backyard? The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence, especially today. Home values have plummeted for three years now in much of the Bay Area. However, as I’m sure you’re aware; values have stabilized and are moving up in many areas.  Properties tha …

"The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of  ideas." – George Santayana "To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us." – Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age? – Erich Fromm Really couldn’t have said it better than Erich Fromm, I think that as adults we all too often forget that …

This group is dedicated to helping people in the Martinez and Pleasant Hill area find and connect with people who are interested in yoga, meditation, and other forms of wellness. This list is not only for students but also for teachers and (at least in my case) studio owners. While physical fitness is certainly relevant, generally people on the list are interested in yoga to help balance "Type A" personalities and managing the stresses and pressures of our competitive, modern life. While I inte …

What is Intuitive Painting? It is very different than waking from a dream and wanting to paint the house you explored in that dream, though that may show up. It is different than 'wanting' to paint the sunset or waterfall, it's about seeing it show up in all it's glitteryness your intuitive painting. This process does not require that you know how to paint any of those things, it just requires that you are present and willing to experience it. Intuitive painting is the process, it is the freeing …

Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of Silicon Valley -  the innovation capital of the world. Never before has it been so possible for anyone from anywhere,  with  a great idea and a burning desire to succeed,  to make it big and change the world in a relatively short period of time. Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions.   Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing". We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, academics, financial …

The techniques I will show you during these meet ups are simple to learn. They helped me personally through my own divorce and self-discovery, where expensive talk therapy didn’t lead anywhere. This group is not going to satisfy those who wish to remain in their victimhood. This group is for people who are intending to face their own shadows, discover unconditional love of self and others, and allow transformation and wholeness to set in, as they rise up from the ashes of a divorce or break up.

The course includes an all-day session on a Saturday. Between classes, students will enhance their participation through working with meditation CDs, and homework assignments. Free introd …

Do you remember the day of your diagnosis? What emotions were you feeling? If you're like many, you felt helpless, scared, and wondered how this could be happening. It's time to take back control of your life and not be a victim of your circumstance. Cancer is nothing more than a wake up call from your body that you need to change. The answer to what needs change can be found in the four pillars of health: Movement, Nutrition, Stress Management, and most importantly, Mindfulness. It is change yo …

The "Dancing with the Stars" series has sprouted new and enduring interest in ballroom dancing; health practitioners are promoting dancing as a healthy exercise for physical fitness as well as prevention of dementia and Alzheimers.  I remember the joy at age 11 learning the 2-step (poor man's fox trot?) to "You Belong to Me" and the hesitation waltz to "Tennessee Waltz" at Francisco Jr. High in San Francisco; later the thrill of "getting it" after learning to jitterbug, and still later the mambo …
