I've led seminars on a variety of subjects, including:

            -- The wisdom in your anger.

            -- Freeing yourself from the inaccurate childhood story about you.         

            -- Living up to your potential.

            -- Shifting your identity into retirement.

            -- Life beyond your family legacy.

            -- Finding a way out of the bind you’re in.

            -- Anxiety as a secret weapon.      

 

When I chaired the Mind/Body Department at the Longy School of Music at Bard College, in Cambridge MA, I led graduate seminars on topics relevant to a life in music.  Many of them are applicable to other artistic devotions.

 

            -- Managing the love triangle of you, your lover, and your Muse.

            -- Life after school: an artist’s place in the larger world.

            -- An artist’s relationship to money.

            -- Finding your own artistic “voice”.

            -- The unspoken aspects of student-teacher relationships.

            -- Knowing you’re OK when you don’t get hired or perform your best.

            -- Performance as aesthetic relationships: sounds, timing, shapes, direction, pacing.

            -- The colleague dilemma: are you my friend, my competition, or both?

            -- Physical self-care: coping with stress and building stamina.

            -- Managing performance anxiety.

            -- Creating: keeping your inner critic at bay.

            -- Notes or music?  How sounds become song.

            -- Adjusting to the demands of aging.

            -- Art as energy -- your energy quality.

            -- Keeping your mind and body on good terms.

 

I am available to facilitate discussions on any of these subjects.
