New address

Nevada skies by Ryan Jerz

Once again we have packed out bags and moved. This time we've landed in Reno, Nevada. We are closer to family and traveling will be a lot easier. The five hour flight from Hawaii just to hit the mainland is rough to handle. We'll sure miss all of the friends that we made on the islands.

Here is our new address:
P.O. Box 19642
Reno, NV 89511

And our new phone number:
775-826-5034

I have a great view of nature out of my office window. The green grass and trees warm my heart. Hopefully the weather will warm a little too. Although I'm told that once it gets hot it will be hot all summer.

Songs to open the Heart

I've used these five songs with my teachings for years. Use these songs to enhance movement and create an environment of learning. The disc includes five songs sung by Gay Wolf and the same songs without vocals.

Song list:

She's Been Waiting
I Feel My Feet
I Am As I Am
May The Long Time Sun
How Could Anyone Ever Tell You

You can also order this straight from the website.

The CD was produced in Saginaw, Michigan with the talented Paul Britton doing the arrangements and Gay Wolf doing the vocals. These two incredible artists have finally put to music what has been playing in my head for years. The album and CD art was produced by my dear friends Michael Robb and Tammie Stimpfel. Their design studio continues to put that polished edge to anything I do.
