Safe to Fall

A remarkable collection of deeply felt writings on the experience of studying the embodied spiritual discipline of Bharata Natyam, the Classical Dance of South India, with the renowned T. Balasaraswati, and on the mind-body healing work to which it led her. She writes on being an American Jew in a post-Holocaust world, on marriage, divorce, family, abortion, on mothering, of both our children and ourselves, on the work of chaplaincy and the grieving process, on writing itself, and on aging.

The writings are woven together through the personal journey of a woman who, straddling different levels of consciousness and applying them to her work, is committed to healing, of herself, of others, and of our fractured and astounding world.
