yourbodyknows@optonline.net
Marianne was first introduced to ritual postures by her mentor, Barbara Hand Clow, in 1994. She found her experiences to be a deeply reliable source of direction and spiritual grounding at critical times of transition and personal transformation. Though her professional work is focused in the computer industry as a custom database developer and consultant, she is also a practicing astrologer in the greater New York area.
Marianne offers introductory workshops and group sessions in her home at each New Moon and season change, and selects an appropriate posture that weaves access to the Alternate Reality with astrological influences in the story that is implanted in each of us at these pivotal times.
