Wednesday, January 15—Mucking About in the Swamp of Relationships

Doesn't matter whether we're talking about lovers, friends, partners, colleagues, spouses, family or ancestors, we find both wonder and pain in our relationships. Sometimes we're gliding across the lake of love on waterskis and other times we're stuck in the mud.

How can find more joy, power and satisfaction and avoid feeling left out, dumped or trapped?

Cynthia breaks down the dance of attachment, mirror neurons, and trauma and sheds light on the mechanics of interpersonal, familial, and cultural connections using the Healthy Interaction Check List.

Apply some basic body wisdom to your relationships and watch them thrive! Learn why it will work better to play your way to love rather than work at it.

And eat a cupcake!

Vocalist, pianist and InterPlay leader, Stephanie Pile, will lend her warm, rich mezzo voice to a variety of jazz, Broadway and popular musical pieces. Stephanie has an extensive choral, musical theater and church music background and also co-leads a women’s monthly a cappella singing circle, Singing in a New World.
