Touching Into Presence

Episode 9 - Conversations with Heather Starsong


Listen Later

We are fortunate to have Heather Starsong with us for today's conversation. Heather is an inspiration for many and just a true force of nature. An original student of what was then known as Rolf-Aston Structural Patterning and later evolving into Rolf Movement, and a pioneer of this movement paradigm.

Heather Starsong grew up in New England and graduated summa cum laude from Boston University in 1957 with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature.

She has been a dancer since childhood, especially fascinated with the connections between healing, art, and spirit. She has explored and taught many forms: creative dance, liturgical dance, dance therapy, yoga, ceremonial dance, Rolfing® and Rolf Movement®, Continuum, and most recently Argentine Tango.
Although her career has been focused on body language, she has loved and told stories all her life. In 2007 she began to write her stories. Leaves in Her Hair was published in 2009, Never Again in 2015, The Purest Gold in 2017, and Song of Eliria in 2019.
She is presently semi-retired from a long career of teaching dance and yoga and practicing Rolfing. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, and enjoys writing, dancing, hiking in the high country, and spending time with her grandchildren.

Heather is a storyteller by nature, whether in the novels she writes or in how she tells the story of her client's bodies by working with them and unwrapping the layers of lived history within.

We are so grateful for our time with her today, and for what she shared with us. We are sire you will enjoy as well!
