I also lost weight very easily and naturally.  Other people commented on the glow of my skin and my trimness.  Nicole and John are extremely knowledgeable and they were both so giving of their time and advice.  I would highly recommend the cleanse.  It has been three years since I first did it and it has changed the way I eat, hopefully for life." -JB   "I started with the 7 day cleanse and felt so good I kept going for another week.  At first, I wasn't exactly sure what my results, if any would be, but after a few days I was less bloated, I had even energy throughout the day, and my skin was radiant- that's right- I could use the word 'radiant' to describe my skin!  The best part was I could eat.  I am extremely busy; I work, I have a family- I needed to be able to do the things I needed to do.  The irony was, I had more energy and this way of eating has continued to inspire my food choices 4 years later.  Thank you for helping me get healthier!"

Every time!" -Governor Deval Patrick Experience an unforgettable musical journey with pianist and composer Jessica Roemischer. As a consummate artist, Jessica's piano interpretations and original compositions have a rare beauty and authenticity. She was trained in the finest European tradition, but goes beyond her classical roots to bring to life a vast spectrum of music from Gregorian chant to the Dave Matthews Band. Jessica has performed throughout the US and internationally, including on many occasions for Governor Deval Patrick.  At this special Samadhi event, Jessica will play selections from her recently-released piano CD, “Haven,” which New York Daily News writer, Greg Thomas called “a musical meditation...a tapestry of sound textures that evokes peace because it comes from love.” And there'e more!  In this unusual, interactive performance, Jessica Roemischer will then invite a volunteer from the audience to improvise in duet with her at the piano--an extraordinary dimension of Jessica's work. The boundaries between performer and audience dissolve in the excitement of seeing someone who may have no prior experience create spontaneous music! Without fail, the result is truly memorable! Click here to experience more from this amazing artist http://www.youtube.com/user/JessicaRoemischer   Jessica Roemischer is a pianist, composer, and transformational teacher. Her vast experience working in music with individuals of all ages and cultures has given rise to a profound understanding of the human condition while revealing the dynamics of healing and change. Born into a musical family, Jessica began piano at age six and was improvising and composing from the outset. Her pedagogical lineage through her mother, pianist Miriam Roemischer, links directly to Frederic Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven. Captivated by the timeless beauty of classical music, Jessica was also a "child of the '60's" (and '70's) and found herself equally as compelled by the soaring harmonies of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, the inimitable guitar of Led Zeppelin, and the hypnotic vocalizations of Van Morrison. Learning to play her favorite songs by ear, she simultaneously pursued classical piano studies with Marilyn Sophos and won awards at the Westchester (NY) Symphony and Westchester Conservatory Concerto competitions, among others. Since graduating magna cum laude from Princeton University in 1982, Jessica Roemischer has taught hundreds of individuals on four continents. Her innovative work in music is informed by a life-long study of philosophy, aesthetics, spirituality and evolutionary thought--a tutelage that began with her parents, both of whom hold doctorates. From 1989-1999, Jessica was on the Applied Music Faculty of Middlebury College, Vermont. Her wide experience has led to the conclusion that, when given the optimum environment, an individual will invariably come forth with extraordinary strengths and creative capacities. As a magazine editor and writer from 2002-07, she has dialogued with some of the world's cultural and spiritual icons, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Carlos Santana, theologians Karen Armstrong and Huston Smith, Apollo astronaut, Edgar Mitchell, and many others. Jessica's major article, "The Never-Ending Upward Quest," is widely recognized as the most comprehensive and accessible introduction to the evolutionary theory of Spiral Dynamics. Jessica Roemischer believes that the transformational approach she has developed is an effective means for grappling with the challenges we face individually and collectively. In a wide variety of settings--performances, lectures, workshops, business and leadership consulting, and individual coaching--Jessica is sharing the catalytic power of her work throughout the United States and internationally.   2011-11-22T11:00:51+00:00 http://samadhiintegral.com/index.php/events/detail/the-duet-paradigm-a-new-model-for-human-life http://samadhiintegral.com/index.php/events/detail/the-duet-paradigm-a-new-model-for-human-life#When:14:50:07Z Start Date: June 10 | The Duet Paradigm™: A New Model for Human Life   "Jessica makes so much possible and it is clearly giving her so much in return." -Governor Deval Patrick,  What if you knew without doubt that you possess far-reaching creative capacities? What if everything around you affirmed that life is indescribably positive and joyful ease is your true nature? For three decades, pianist, composer and transformational teacher, Jessica Roemischer has used improvised musical duet to generate these experiences for hundreds of individuals on four continents, including those with disabilities such as Down syndrome and blindness. Jessica's vast experience has given rise to a transformational modality called, "The Duet Paradigm."  More than a musical method, these are potent spiritual tools you can use to make ANY relationship--personal, educational, professional--into a dynamic field of trust and exploration. In this half-day workshop, you’ll experience firsthand the principles of  The Duet Paradigm and learn how to use them to generate growth and healing in others AND yourself!  Musical experience is not required. Here's what people are saying: "No one came away from Jessica's workshop in Berkeley who was not radically transformed by the experience." Lisa Chacon, Managing Director, Bay Area Integral and Founder, Innovive, Inc. "Jessica Roemischer's workshop was a profound experience. The most impactful aspect for me was the alchemical field of 'doubtlessness' Jessica created for her students. The magnanimity and generosity of creating that for another person is astounding."Jane Schirmler, Integral New York City "In a time span of less than two hours, Jessica Roemischer transformed what was otherwise a linear learning environment into a highly emotionally charged spiritual experience. Her deep mastery of how music moves the soul and elevates the human spirit is something to behold." Said E. Dawlabani, President & CEO, EcoVest Advisors, LLC "Once in a while someone comes along to create a whole new perspective on the power of the human spirit. So it is with the remarkable work of Jessica Roemischer." Debbe Kennedy, Founder, President and CEO, Global Dialogue Center and Leadership Solutions Companies "This evening burst a dam that has been constricting me in my musical and personal expression for my whole life, ever since I learned how to be self-conscious. Jessica's workshop has been the gift that keeps on giving."Susan Leigh Babcock   Jessica Roemischer Pianist, Composer and Transformational Advisor www.pianobeautiful.com "Haven" Piano CD www.cdbaby.com/cd/jessicaroemischer "A musical meditation that comes from love."

Imagine a workplace that supports and challenges you to realize your full potential. What would make that possible? How can you contribute to this for yourself and others? This 9 hour “workout” will help you bring clarity of purpose and an open heart to more work situation, even messy ones, and help you be inspire and inspiring (not to mention, more effective) at work!

Throughout the group series, participants will not only learn new expressive and cognitive skills for coping with negative thoughts and feelings about body image, they will also gain confidence in their ability to face all of life's challenges with creativity and authenticity.  *The arts modalities which will be incorporated in the creative experiences include visual arts, movement, creative-writing, drama, and music but there is no artistic experience required - each activity will involve detailed instruction, facilitation, and support. 2012-05-18T19:44:09+00:00 http://samadhiintegral.com/index.php/events/detail/embodying-the-empty-ground http://samadhiintegral.com/index.php/events/detail/embodying-the-empty-ground#When:16:46:06Z Start Date: June 30 | In this weekend Redwoods retreat, grounded in the non-dual Buddhist view of mind and emptiness, and informed by an Integral perspective, we will explore bringing the experience of our inner true nature off the cushion and into the sense perceptions of nature.
