Lisa Avnet Healing Arts PSYCHE BODY AND SOUL

Lisa Avnet BA, BHSP, CHt

I love to learn, and am trained in a wide variety of healing arts that inform my work with clients.  My initial education and practice was in Asian style bodywork which bridged physical and energy anatomy.  However, over the years, my work has steadily evolved to a more energetic and shamanic form.  My studies have included nature based soulwork through the Animas Valley Institute, Archetypal Jungian Psychology, Dreamwork, Shamanism, Expressive Arts, Medical Intuition, Flower Essence Therapy, Non-Violent Communication, Storytelling, Poetry Therapy, Vocal Improv, Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation, Guided Imagery, Hypnotherapy including Medical Hypnosis Certification, Authentic Movement, Continuum movement, and Griefwork.  

A lifelong writer, musician, and mover, I was delighted to have found my home in the Berkshires, where the arts flourish.  Getting my hands in the dirt helps keep me grounded, and my gardens are my pride and joy.

The Fountain, a poem by Denise Levertov, carries some of the essence of my work:

Don’t say, don’t say there is no water
to solace the dryness at our hearts.
I have seen

the fountain springing out of the rock wall
and you drinking there. And I too
before your eyes

found footholds and climbed
to drink the cool water.

The woman of that place, shading her eyes,
frowned as she watched-but not because
she grudged the water,

only because she was waiting
to see we drank our fill and were
refreshed.

Don’t say, don’t say there is no water.
The fountain is there among it’s scalloped
grey and green stones,

it is still there and always there
with it’s quiet song and strange power
to spring in us,

up and out through the rock.
