I’ve been working with photographs and family history for over 35 years. I was a student of the Diamond Approach® (Ridhwan School® and A.H. Almaas) for over 21 years. Capturing the Soul is a combination of my interests with my spiritual practice.
My M.A. is in History Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program, SUNY Oneonta. My master’s thesis is on the photographer William Henry Jackson’s photographs of San Diego, CA. My B.A. is in American Social History from UC Berkeley. My undergraduate thesis is on “the Changes in the Attitudes Towards Bathing in 19th Century America”. After grad school I had an internship at the Colorado Historical Society where among other things, I taught family history to school groups.
I also worked in the photo industry for over 15 years. So my knowledge of photography and archiving is extensive.
I’m not a therapist, nor have I studied psychology. The inquiry methods used in Capturing the Soul may be used by therapists, but this work is based upon Presence–of sensing, looking, and listening to what is there.
Developing the workshops is not something that I set about doing. It is something that came to me while working with the photos of my family. The more open and aware I was, the more that was revealed. I write in the first person because I can only speak from experience. This is not work that comes from the mind, but from the heart.
I’m the third of four girls. I’m solidly a Cancer, but my birthday is on the Leo cusp. I’m a Four fixation on the enneagram, but have definitely moved through to my heart space. I tell you this because it may matter to you. Although I don’t know much about astrology, I know that birth order and enneagram fixation can influence our concept of who we take ourselves to be.
A native Californian, I was born and raised in San Diego, which my grandmother considered paradise. Where for many years my parents had a camera store. I now live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have another blog The Garden Cook which is about my other passions of gardening, cooking, and eating. There are plans to have another website based on my masters thesis on William Henry Jackson’s photographs of San Diego, CA up and running Summer of 2010.
