Aesthetic Realism Explains Life and Love

 

On this page you'll find papers I've given as part of seminars at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation on subjects that affect every woman, every person. What I've learned in consultations, in classes with Eli Siegel, and now as I attend classes taught by Ellen Reiss, has made me a kinder, happier, more truly expressed person and a better teacher, and has made possible for me to have a rich and happy marriage to Alan Shapiro, jazz pianist and teacher of music.
