Why Dragon Door? Why all this stuff works for me….

July 30, 2012 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

bridge tallahassee

Yesterday, after tweeting about working on my CK-FMS case study (**Update! I am CK-FMS certified!!!!!), someone remarked that "wow, you're really drinking that koolaid."    My wacky personality responded that I was also taking baths in it and asked if my skin had turned a funny color yet.    Pretty sure the intended outcome of the exchange was not to inspire me to poke fun at … [Read more...] about Why Dragon Door?

For reasons no one can remember, the recent Orlando HKC was scheduled on a Sunday. Tim Shuman, Franz Snideman, Laurel Blackburn, Ryan Blackburn, myself, and of course Chris Davis (the official host) all arrived early to make sure we were all set up and ready to go.   Tim's truck was riding heavy with kettlebells (thankfully he has a custom box for such things). After getting a … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Experience – My First Time Helping Out! (Part 1)

Excitable Bull Terrier

Anyone who knows me in real like knows how much I love a good experiment.  Having made my science fair debut at age 5, I've been on a life-long quest for all kinds of answers.  Early highlights include (reworded, obviously): reciprocity of smiling, acidity and plant growth/survival, and of course all the undocumented backyard efforts.    Still one of my favorites, was some … [Read more...] about An Experiment….

Zac Zech and the HKC Fort Collins Experience

November 25, 2011 By Adrienne Leave a Comment

HKC Ft Collins

Many people have asked about the HKC, and one of my clients is planning on getting her HKC soon. While I know a lot of people who participated in the program, I haven't, and I feel like I've really missed out. Since I can't fill in the details of what you may experience if you attend an HKC workshop, newly certified HKC, Zac Zech was kind enough to write an account of his very … [Read more...] about Zac Zech and the HKC Fort Collins Experience
