" I am in late-life transformation at age 69.
I will be 70 on December 28th of sthis year.

Look at me now! This is the most creative time of my life!
I’m working incrementally to complete my memoir ‘Giving Birth to Life: Plumbing the Depths of Your Soul Journey’ **completion date set with my publisher for December 2022.
There are four books to follow – (1) ARTS in MEDICINE —This is a full fledgling program in development. 2) A story about a 30-year Sacred Marriage (3)My personal narrative about my journey with Rheumatoid Arthritis (4)A Raven & a Butterfly: Jung’s Poetics Read Outloud.
Right now , in this playful moment, ARTS in MEDICINE is the key program and book I’m working on. “Arts and Medicine will be published and launched just after my memoir, originally titled “I Would Have Named Him Peter”.
Here is a Summary of this international story:
I was asked by the Director of Olympic Medical Physicians, Josh Jones, MD (Josh is also an active member in our arts community) at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles to write an ‘Arts and Medicine’ proposal.
He asked for all of the necessary details such as who, what, when, where, and how, staffing needed, and an annual budget.
After submission, Dr Jones feels that with a pandemic still at our heels here in Washington state and programs that already needing funding, I would do better if I sent the current proposal to foundations to assist in funding and development.
Stories that I will share with you are not meant to be published in linear time time ~my dreams and embodied sensibility inform me on this and every nuance of this dreamer's life.
If you are interested in receiving author’s updates please send me your name and email address to maryalice@playequalspeace.com
I'll be sending out updates on my author's journey and creative notes about once a month.
Thank you so much to those of you I have worked with individually or in groups, workshops, and retreats from 1993-present.
For those new to me let's play and create together.
You'll find that I'm a big believer in dreams, the imagination, and playing in the every day of life which means that even in the dark times there is light that shows itself. As we make ourselves more conscious about who we are and who we are meant to be that light shines even brighter.
Celebrating my work anniversary. Feeling thankful for this
