For Ran, intuitive, free-form dance is a pathway to self-knowledge and greater freedom from past conditioning. He first discovered this pathway at a retreat for gay men shortly after coming out at age 40. Soon thereafter, he began weekend commutes from Seneca, SC to Atlanta, Asheville, Charlotte, and other cities several times a year to practice with various teachers of Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms®. It has been twenty years now (2026) since he discovered an embodied way to express the longings and prayers of his heart. The exploration is a lifelong one that never grows old. Ran enjoys writing poetry, letters, dreams, and reflections, as well as swimming, bicycling, running, and working out at the gym. He is passionate about engaging with friends and clients via meaningful conversation and the power of conscious touch. His website is: www.BodySoulTendingForMen.com.
