Say it with me, pulling broom is fun oh so fun oh so fun, I wanna do this all day long... M …

In December 2011, I was sitting in a three-day, 13-hours-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the hermetically sealed windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our th …

This group is for the adventurous and the fearless. Feeling Arranging is uniquely different from the shamanism and healing methods we know such as journeying, soul retrieval and meditation.
