Forty three years of experience with Stanley Keleman taught me many things, two of the most important are: 1. Form yourself or life will do it for you and 2. Discover meaning and satisfaction from the choices you make. Managing the Center for Energetic Studies and later overseeing Center Press entailed almost daily contact with him, and over the decades our work and personal relationship deepened. I became a source of information for clients and the public, editing several books, articles and many papers, facilitating teaching programs, and in numerous summers having the pleasure of enjoying the company of professionals we welcomed into his home and garden.

I have always valued experience as life’s best teacher, however, when Stanley asked me to be the ‘custodian of his work in the world’ when he would no longer be here, I had little idea of what this actually meant. Now with the benefit of time and experience, I understand that caring for his work happens in each person who nurtures and carries forth their own formative effort, be it personal or professional. I am pleased to lend my support to all of you who join in this endeavor.

After living and working in Berkeley for many years, I now enjoy a slower life in a tiny town overlooking a marina with an expansive view of the San Francisco skyline, including time to enjoy family in Missoula, Montana.
