For those of you who would appreciate the convenience, all of these articles are now collected in a CD, Aquatic Writings. It runs over 1000 pages of English, German and Portuguese text as 30 Word files and matching pdf files. The writings range from the poetic to the practical, with the unique perspective that comes from teaching all three techniques on different continents, in different cultures and in three languages. It is quite a bit more than the website, though, as it features the detailed description of all the material, the how to, step by step, of the moves (as is available at www.healingdance.org). These sequences for Healing Dance and WaterDance have been newly updated. Favorite articles, such as The Transition Flow: a Psycho-Physical Analysis , Watsu in the Shadow of Love, The Return to Water, Fathoming WaterDance, and The Hydrodynamic Body in Passive Motion, are all included, as well as the complete manuals for Barefoot Shiatsu, Flowing Touch Massage I, II and Two on One. New additions include The Zen of Watsu, Physiological Changes during a Watsu Session, An Interview with Theri Thomas, and The Water Sutras of Nadar Xeel. In short, Aquatic Writings contains the fruit of over 13 years of teaching, a body of work without parallel in our profession.

Textbooks and training manuals are more expensive than other books of comparable length, as they distill years of an author’s work and have a value to us in that they enable livelihood. If you decide to purchase it, send me a check for $45. (includes packaging, postage and handling) with your address to

I’ll have it off to you within a week unless I happen to be teaching, then expect two week delivery. If you live outside the US, send me an international money order for the amount in US dollars plus an additional $5. extra for postage, okay?/ einverstanden?/tudo bem?
