•Are we lacking rituals and initiations to introduce children into adulthood?
•Vaccines, the vaccine schedule and vaccine injuries.
•The inner king/inner bitch archetype; are you being all you could be? What would happen if you took action, stopped procrastinating and forged your own path instead of following the path of least resistance.

• Stepping away from the mechanical model and objectification of the human body.
• What is constructive rest position (CRP)?
