On Being and Becoming
My previous blog -- the part about me getting ready to write another book -- got me thinking about some of the topics that have been up for me these past many years. Ones that excite me -- float my boat, as I am wont to say -- ones that seem real relevant to me, and are what I consider fruits of the Holotropic perspective. And one of these is about the two complementary dynamics discussed and written about so eloquently in mystical and philosophical traditions across the world spectrum: Being

The Adventure of the Present Moment
Hey, everybody!
Just a quick check-in, from the road. I'm in the Atlanta airport -- bit of a wait -- after my week with my oldest son and two grandsons. The subject is life on this earth: doing what we can, and being blessed by all kinds of wonderful experiences -- like a chance to make conscious and heal old times, using one of the most incredible allies we could ever have: the Holotropic perspective. So, forgive my wonderings. I feel so grateful for my life in this moment, and I attr

Building Bridges to the Holotropic Experience
Hey, everybody!
I'm in Georgia this weekend, visiting with my oldest son, Ason, and my two grandsons, Dallin and Kellin. I'm happy. Just wanted to pick up where we left off last week -- about translating perinatal language -- and share a bit about some work we have been doing in Australia, and will also soon be doing in the US.
For the past two years, and again later this year, we have been presenting one-day workshops in different cities -- either something along the lines of

Expanding the Language of the Perinatal
Hey, everybody!
Over the years many of us have discussed the implications of modifying Holotropic terminology to meet the needs of special populations. So I'd like to share a little about this issue. At certification last October, the group was digging in for the traditional marathon perinatal show. Only of course now the format is a tad different. Since nobody can recreate Stan's original eight to twelve hour -- or as was the case in the very first certifications, sometimes sixteen to

Good to see your on the community now. Things are pretty much back to normal here in Australia. Hard to put the certication learning into practice. Not enough groups in Australia and too expensive to fly over to the U.S for practice and apprenticeships. The journey continues.
With love & kind regards
Mark
