Thu Feb 10 09:29:19 CET 2011

Hi Ken and all list members,

I apologize

cause my message was being really off topic. I take the mailing lists  
where I normally announce dance impro workshops. My action was  
brainless.

cause sending the message again. I got a mistake email from  
yahoogroups, so I thought the message was not announced. Also your  
first question email I didnt receive, because of my list settings.

OK, I wear sackcloth and ashes on my head,
say sorry and many thanks for your hint.

Regards
Jan

>> After earning a Masters in Energetic Medicine from Dr. Robert

>>
>> A longtime interest in sacred sexuality brought about

>> Bellicchi
>> and Alan Lowen (the founder of The Art of Being*). Together with my
