  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

    Hawke: A Modern Retelling of Wuthering Heights Novel Draft and Theoretical Analysis Kristen Csuti Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Malone University Honors Program Adviser: Diane Chambers, Ph.D. 21 April 2016 Csuti 1 Table of Contents: 1. Hawke: A Modern Retelling of Wuthering Heights........................................................2 2. “Unquiet Sleepers: A Young Novelist’s Thoughts on Adaptation”............................192 Csuti 2 Prologue Catherine Harlowe checked to make sure her husband was asleep before quietly getting dressed. She opened the bathroom door just far enough that she could slip inside, any farther and it would squeak. She applied a fresh coat of make-up and forced herself to breathe evenly. He won’t wake up. He hasn’t yet. At the top of the stairs, she paused. “Mommy?” Her three-year-old daughter was standing in the doorway to her room. “Go back to sleep, sweetie,” Catherine said. “I had a bad dream. The bad faeries chased me.” “The bad faeries won’t get you. You’re too good.” “Can I sleep with you and daddy?” Catherine thought quickly. If she woke Max up, he would realize she was gone. Emily always slept in the car. And she probably wouldn’t remember this anyway. “I’m going out. Do you want to come, sweetheart?” Emily nodded and ran to grab her teddy bear. “Let’s be really, really quiet,” Catherine said, “like good faeries.” Emily nodded gravely and rose up on her tiptoes, and the two made their way out to the car. Emily was asleep before they left the neighborhood.

  • Types of Music in Qoya
    TYPES OF MUSIC IN QOYA Invite the spirit of music into your Qoya class. Imagine the music as your co-teacher taking women into realms beyond where your words alone can lead. These descriptions outline how music is most effectively utilized during each part of a Qoya class. In addition to to these suggestions, deeply listen to each piece of music you are considering for class and notice how it inspires your body to move! Click here for a playlist of the music in this document. Before Class (10 to 15 minutes of music) The purpose of the music here is to set the tone of the upcoming class, introducing its vibe and energy. Choose songs based on sound, tone, and lyrics - but most importantly, those that resonate with the overall theme. This is a good place to put music that you love (provided it fits) that doesn’t really work anywhere else in the class. Examples: Glorious by MaMuse is a great example of a song to set a warm and open vibe in the room as people enter. Introducing a Class (approximately 5 minutes) No music here is best. Lyrics and even plain sounds can be distracting when people are talking, especially when a depth of presence is being asked for from the listener. Let this be a time to focus on connection and the introduction itself. Just the act of turning off the ‘Before Class’ music can bring an immediate sense of presence and focus to the group. Optional Stillness Before Class (approximately 5 minutes) If you choose to have people lie down and begin with a meditation, use music that is ambient and spacious.

    The Wilds by Brianna Bjarnson A creative project submitted to Sonoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in ENGLISH (Creative Writing) Committee Members Sherril Jaffe, Chair and First Reader Noelle Oxenhandler, Second Reader April 01, 2016 Copyright 2016 By Brianna Bjarnson ii Authorization for Reproduction of Master’s Thesis (or Project) Permission to reproduce this thesis [project] in its entirety must be obtained from me. Permission to reproduce parts of this thesis [project] must be obtained from me. Date: April 01, 2016 Brianna Bjarnson____________ iii The Wilds Creative project by Brianna Bjarnson ABSTRACT The Wilds is a multi-genre creative project containing a range of works including: varying forms of fiction (novel, short story, flash), creative nonfiction (personal essay, personal narrative), and poetry. Thematically, the pieces as a unified whole seek to explore the essence of human thought, interaction, and experience. MA Program: English Sonoma State University Date: April 01, 2016 iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Anne Goldman: You have been my mentor in teaching, in writing, and in thinking. You were the first teacher in all my years of schooling who really saw me and recognized my full potential as a writer, thinker, and human being. You were the first person in my life who ever told me I was smart, who gave me the permission to spread my wings, expand my mind, and see what happened. You introduced me to the beautiful world of poetry, and I have not been the same since. Thank you for encouraging me to pursue my master’s—something no one in my family had ever dared dream of before—and thank you for truly believing in me.

If you’re LORDE, you go Hollywood, cold-call Kanye and curate the Hunger Games soundtrack — all while still finding your way around fame CRITICS ARE RAVINGWorldMags.net ABOUT ARETHA’S BRAND NEW ALBUM AS CANDIDATE FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR “Divas are everywhere these days, but there’s still only one Aretha. Franklin can still shut down the competition with a breathtaking, gospel-trained grace and power. Here, she tackles tunes by her peers, adding royal luster to Gladys Knight’s ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ and the Supremes’ ‘You Keep Me Hangin’ On.’ She saves extra energy for songs by younger neo-soul stars. She adds a welcome reggae feel to Alicia Keys’ ‘No One,’ and takes Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ to stratospheric heights. When Franklin then surprises with a segue into the Motown classic ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,’ the wow factor is off the charts. That’s also the case on a mashup of ‘I’m Every Woman’ with a revived version of ‘Respect,’ on which Franklin ad-libs, ‘I am the Queen.’ Let there be no argument about that.” - THE BOSTON GLOBE “Aretha’s brand new album is shaping up as another key moment in Franklin’s half-century recording career, artistically and potentially commercially rejuvenating her once again.
