I was drafted into the U.S. military on June 3, 1942, at the age of 21, beginning a tour of 39 months in the Air Force that took me to South America, Africa, England and into combat in Italy, France and Holland.
Following basic training, I was sent to radio school at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, after which I was assigned to troop carrier command as the radio operator on a C-47 airplane. My primary duties were as an airborne truck outfit – hauling supplies where needed and evacuating wounded patients. We cross-trained with the 82nd Airborne Division stationed nearby.
In April 1943, we received orders to head overseas – with our airplanes – to North Africa. The range of the C-47 was limited, so to cross the Atlantic Ocean we had to go to Natal, Brazil, then across the Atlantic to tiny Ascension Island (which was barely large enough for a runway). Our joke, perhaps to relieve tension, was if we don’t find that island, we will have a salty bath and a long swim to Africa. No joke! But we made it (perhaps because I was the responsible radio operator).
From Africa, we participated in the invasion of Sicily at Gela. Our first mission in combat went okay. We then had to take reinforcements on day three. It was necessary to fly in and out over our fleet. Nervous gunners opened up on us with a heavy barrage and mine was one of the planes hit. Many planes that were shot down had not dropped their troops, but we were picked up by one of the ships and taken to Oran, Africa. This was a major snafu of the war and was heavily investigated. We next moved to England to participate in Operation Overlord, the code name for the Battle of Normandy.

TheConnectionMovement is committed to reviving human connection with ourselves and each other. We are a growing community of over 100 regularly active participants and 1000+ members of the greater community that share a commitment to deeper connection and richer communication in our lives.
An oasis and playground for connection, TheConnectionMovement meets 6-10 times per month in New York City. Our get-togethers include social experiments, social gatherings, a deep and powerful inter-relational meditation practice called “Circling”, and “Connection Labs” (structured activities that flex and engage our empathy, playfulness, listening, self-expression, and vulnerabilty). The foundational principles and tools we engage with are inspired by the teachings of NonViolent Communication, Circling Europe, The Circling Institute, Authentic World, Ken Wilber’s Integral Practices, and Creative Drama.

Our Inspired Healing event will look at the aspects of being a whole person. Presenters from various backgrounds will assist, confirm and help bring awareness to matters we are working on for ourselves. This will happen in the beginning of the program during the introduction and Q&A segments. We will have 30-45 minutes for lunch (you can bring your own or there are lunch options in the area) upon your return we will break out into intimate groups that will focus on five aspects of wholeness: physical body, heart, mind, spirit and sound. Afterwards the groups will reconvene for a: blessing, sound grounding and a release into our waiting world. *Our Inspired Healing session is not related to a specific religion or faith. The healing session is open to all females regardless of religion, race or culture.

Each of the following sessions will focus on balancing, healing and rejuvenating the next chakra along the central energy channel at the center of our body. Healing with Himalayan Singing Bowls and the Gongs is a scientific proven modality that is becoming the forerunner of Sound Therapy, worldwide. Its power in synergy with Yin and Restorative Yoga postures and meditation will:

Initiate in your body a deep healing on the cellular level
Clear your energetic mind body & energetic system of negative beliefs, memories and emotions that are causing Anxiety, Pain and Physical, Emotional and Financial blocks.
Shift your brain brainwaves from its everyday stressful Beta frequency deeper and deeper into the relaxing and meditative Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwaves frequencies so that you will experience the deepest levels of serene peace.
In this way it will lead you easily and spontaneously into deep states of meditation, even if you have never meditated before or find it hard to meditate.
