  • Relational Aid - Practical Skill for Couples in Hard Times - with Alan Marriott

    We’re deep in wartime.

    We’re surrounded by war, trauma, power, dichotomies of good and bad and power. All this impacts our relationships and hurts our ability to be vulnerable.

    He is one of my all-time favorite improv teachers and he is BRILLIANT. His book is phenomenal and I reached out to him so we can play together and learn from his genius how we can use improv and specifically status play (which is the improv concept of power dynamics) to help couples soften hierarchy and co-create synergistic moments and intimacy

  • Why are so many men numb? (Hint: It's covert male depression)

    Hey Man (or woman),
    Are you alive or are you somewhat turned off, numb, or somewhat apathetic?
    If so, you're not alone.
    You might be suffering from the under-diagnosed phenomenon of the covert male depression, as first described by Terrance Real.

    In this talk, taken from a webinar for therapists, I share my story of covert depression and detail how this covert depression begins through psychological patriarchy, how it evolves and manifests through a limited relational and emotional repertoire, and its long-term (negative) effects on their intimate relationships.

    Practical tips are given on how to engage and soften this depression.

  • Embrace Your Inner Owl - A conversation about art, multi-potentialities and living your full self

    Are you living your full self?
    Are you manifesting all your different passions and talents?
    Some of us have multiple passions, and don't want to commit to only one profession.
    That is called being a Multipotentialite (coined by Emilie Wapnick), or slashers.
    How can you live a multipotentialite life?

    This is an honest talk with friend Tal Shibi who is a slasher: dance/choreographer/photographer/director/actor/shiatsu practitioner. In this talk we explore how multipotentialites are born, bred, and raised through my personal story of how I got to teach at a dance school without learning dance, and to be an artistic director of a professional playback theater company without going to acting school. We explore the relationship and the (shallow) division between the worlds of art, therapy, and education.
    Along the way, we laugh and challenge each other to grow. We also talk about what is art and how we can reclaim the title of "an artist" in our life.
