On January 3, 2015 I shaved for the last time this year. Preparing for a photo shoot with my wife and Forte Fotos. Ken Gilbert at Santa Barbara Mission – January 3, 2015 by Forte Fotos Then, preparing for DramaDogs’ February Shakespeare production of Jinny Webber’s “Tales of Woo & Woe: A Journey of the Heart” […]
Over the last year producing, directing and performing in two new projects of DramaDogs, a Theater Company: “Dance Me to the End of Love – 8 Short Plays by EM Lewis” and “Tales of Woo and Woe – A Journey of the Heart” (Shakespeare) along with the ownership of Ken Gilbert | EmBODYment (Somatic Education […]
The autumn shift of shortened days is only heightened with the change of hour at our clocks. The sun is lower in the sky and we sense a coolness at sundown. Preparing to hibernate and go “inside”.
As a man, a Theater Artist and Somatic Educator I stand in the circle of women everyday. In each circle I am received and accepted. I realize that this is who I am: a man who honors all women in their body•mind•emotion•spirit. I am a man who is a participant as teacher and guide to […]
How easy to be distracted into the thinking mind and neglect the integration of body•mind. To be split. Recently, reminding myself that I am in a body•mind•emotion•spirit relationship of self-discovery, self-healing and self-mastery.

Get to the doing part sooner; I love being in the non-doing of thoughts and feelings, however, it is in the doing that I am most alive. Recently home from New Zealand, training a Nia White Belt, I travel over the largest body of water on earth to find a bit more of myself standing […]
My spirit lives in my body, my mind and my emotions. This is how I choose to live in the world. Recently, I revisited the movie “Peaceful Warrior” based on Dan Millman’s book “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior”. In 1985 the book was given to me by a woman who walked into my picture […]
My journey into my emotions began in 1986 with “re-birthing”; strange to sense and feel my body with the aspiration and buzz of circular breathing – the numbing and cramping of my fingers, hands and face. Wanting more from my body – more sensation than numbing – I turned to Reichian Therapy in Ojai, California. […]
Practice of the mind is in and through the body; my body is the vessel of my mind. Without my body I would not exist; therefore, it is my physical body that is the “temple” of my mind. My mind witnesses and notices all that I am doing in my body, my thoughts and in […]
