TELL YOUR STORY
We want to hear from you. We've created a new column in the magazine called RESULTS! The idea is to tell the story of a real person who has seen positive and lasting change in their life by using a transformative practice.

This could be a dance or movement practice such as Feldenkrais, 5Rhythms, Soul Motion, Biodanza, Nia, or ecstatic dance; but we're not limiting it to that. We're interested in hearing about all forms of transformative work.

We want to share inspiring stories with the world! Send your brief synopsis, or refer a friend to info@consciousdancer.com. Just put RESULTS in the subject line and send our way. Our choice will be published with a photo and background on the practice.

Staff Favorite: Trillium Organics Oil-Free Organic Face Polish

In search of a super-duper pure ingredient product to help with adult acne, our executive assistant Deborah went online to Skin Deep cosmetic safety database to look for a non-toxic skincare product to shape up her misbehaving complexion. A tall order for those that understand how difficult it is to tame blemish-prone skin without using harsh chemicals. Deborah was drawn to Trillium Organics because of its very low hazard profile, plus she could actually pronounce and recognized all of the ingredients in their breakout balancing facial scrub with 100 percent natural ingredients, including witch hazel and tea tree oil. The best part, Deborah saw positive results and a decrease in breakouts within the first few days of use!
