This is a group for women who want to start moving but are unable to keep up with the average person due to weight and mobility issues. I am 60+ and have made a commitment to get healthier. (I tried a dance class and my feet hurt so badly I could have cried!) I live in Downtown Seattle and do not have a car. For that reason, I think a good place to start this adventure is to walk around Victor Steinbreuck Park near Pike Place Market. We can stretch, walk, relax, talk about our goals. The only ru …

When your feet touch the Earth, your body starts to remember, as Mary Oliver put it, “your place in the family of things.” Many of us long for this kind of connection to be present and accessible in our lives, but in the frenzy of modern urban daily life, it can be difficult, at best, to achieve: Not only are we disconnected from the Earth, we are disconnected from our bodies as well. And we can be critical and demanding of both. We can live from a softer, more connected place – one that loves a …

Perhaps you have seen me on MTV or heard my number 1 blog talk radio show, join us for some fun and a magical time. Walks With Thunder teaches many classes throughout the West Coast. "My beginner's classes help many take control of the "gifts" we possess, opening the suppressed power of our lives that sets some apart from the norm. When you take control of your own hidden powers, you don't have to be victims any longer." Walks With Thunder lives his life according to what he teaches. He is …

Zen Hikes will take you to the tops of mountains, and down lush trails, not only in reality but also figuratively, inside oneself. We are a community of hikers, spirit …
