Guest: Christianne Asper-Contant

LISTEN HERE: Ep. #22

Christianne Asper-Contant, CAS, E-RYT 500, has spent more than two decades exploring how we experience ourselves through the intersecting lenses of psychology, Ayurveda, and yoga. Her work begins with a simple recognition: the body is always communicating. Rather than offering another set of rules to follow, Christianne helps people become better observers of their own experience—learning to notice patterns, recognize what supports them, and participate more fully in their own well-being.

She is a longtime Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, yoga teacher and educator.  As the steward of Assisi Yoga in Rochester, New York she helps cultivate a place where yoga is practiced in community and in relationship with real life. Through Well-Being Compass, she offers individual work and guided experiences designed to help people listen, respond, and return to their natural rhythm.

Jo Tye and Andrea Petrut have had multiple insights over the years in various trainings and 1:1 about storytelling, female archetypes in stories, wisdom in stories, how women tell and perceive stories and much more. They help each other on their journeys as oral (traditional) storytellers in their parts of the world. Together they decided to share with you while we're all sitting around the Virtual Hearth. Jo will give us the opportunity to listen to her way of telling the stories.

When I heard Mary of Egypt for the first time, I knew I wanted to tell stories to women. For the last 5 years I have told stories in many places - schools, camps, nursing homes and my favourite - in someone's house, surrounded by women. My journey with story telling has been one of the great joys of my life and I look forward to sharing some of this passion with you.
