Title: STAIRWAY TO PARADISE: GROWING UP GERSHWIN
Author: Nadia Natali
Publisher: RareBird Books
Pages: 304
Genre: Memoir
Growing up as Frankie
Gershwin's daughter, the sister of George and Ira Gershwin, was quite a
challenge. I didn't have the perspective to realize that so much unhappiness in
a family was out of the ordinary. But I knew something was off. My mother was
often depressed and my father was tyrannical and scary, one never knew when he
would blow up. I learned early on that I had to be the cheery one, the one to
fix the problems. Both sides of my family were famous; the Gershwin side and my
father who invented color film. But even though there was more than enough
recognition, money and parties I understood that wasn't what made people happy.
As a young adult adrift and
depressed I broke from that unsatisfactory life by marrying Enrico Natali, a
photographer, deeply immersed in his own questions about life. We moved into
the wilderness away from what we considered as the dysfunction of society.
That’s when we discovered that life had other kinds of challenges: flood, fire,
rattlesnakes, mountain lions and bears. We lived in a teepee for more than four
years while building a house. Curiously my mother never commented on my life
choice. She must have realized on some level that her own life was less than
satisfactory.
Enrico had developed a serious
meditation practice that had become a kind of ground for him. As for me I
danced. Understanding the somatic, the inner body experience, became my way to
shift the inner story.
We raised and homeschooled our
three children. I taught them to read, Enrico taught them math. The kids ran
free, happy, always engaged, making things, and discovering. We were so sure we
were doing the right thing. However, we didn't have a clue how they would make
the transition to the so-called ‘real world’. The children thrived until they
became teenagers. They then wanted out. Everything fell apart for them and for
Enrico and me. Our lives were turned upside down, our paradise lost. There was
tragedy: our son lost his life while attempting to cross our river during a
fierce storm. Later I was further challenged by advanced breast cancer.
It was during these times that
I delved deeply into the somatic recesses of myself. I began to find my own
voice, a long learning process. I emerged with a profound trust in my own
authority. It became clear that everyone has to find his or her way through
layers of inauthenticity, where a deep knowing can develop. And I came to see
that is the best anyone can offer to the world.
Enrico and I still live in the
wilds of the Lost Padres National Forest, a paradise with many steps going up
and down, a life I would not change.

Nadia Natali, author of the
memoir, Stairway
to Paradise: Growing Up Gershwin, published by Rare Bird, Los Angeles,
2015, and The Blue Heron Ranch Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from a Zen
Retreat Center published by North Atlantic Books, Berkeley CA, 2008, is
currently working on a second cookbook titled Zafu Kitchen
Cookbook.
Natali, a clinical
psychotherapist and dance therapist, specializes in trauma release through
somatic work. She earned a master’s degree from Hunter College in New York City
in Dance/Movement Therapy and completed another masters degree in clinical
psychology with an emphasis in somatic psychology at the Santa Barbara Graduate
Institute. Nadia is a registered practitioner of Biodynamic Craniosacral
Therapy (RCST) and is also a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP)
who trained with Peter Levine.
DanceMedicine Workshops is
Natali’s creation where participants move through their trauma with dialogue
and dance. She also offers the Ojai community, DanceMedicine Journeys. In
addition to her private practice, Nadia and her husband offer Zen Retreats at
their center.
Born into a famous family that
was riddled with dysfunction, Nadia Natali made the choice to turn her life
inside out and step away from fame and fortune. Against her parents’ consent
she married an artist and moved to the remote wilderness in California. It was
there that she found grounding as she and her husband raised and homeschooled
their three children and opened a retreat center. As she gathered her own
momentum, she enrolled in a doctorate program finally becoming a clinical
psychotherapist specializing in psychosomatic work. She and her husband live in
Ojai California.

killing him. In order to get the magic that he needs to stop the curse he has

My Review of Prince
of Hawks (Unweaving #0.5) by Sarah K. L. Wilson
The Prince of Hawks
wants to soar through the air like a hawk with his own body and not through the
mind and eyes of the hawk.
One day his home is
attacked and his parents are taken from him. After his parents died he took the
crown from his dead father’s head and placed it on his own. He will now lead
his men into battle.
This is not the first
book by Sarah K. L. Wilson that I have read and I certainly hope that it is not
the last. I have enjoyed reading this little introduction into the world of the
Unweaving Chronicles.

My Review of Wrath of
Witches (Shift of Shadow and Soul #0.5) by Hilary Thompson
Resh the second son
of a king sets out to find a talisman, a dagger and runs into a woman called
Shanta who claims she can find the dagger for him. But first she wants Resh to
help her find her friend. Shanta contacts a witch in town who tells her where
to find this dagger. So Resh and Shanta take off on their journey to find
Shanta’s friend and the dagger.
Wrath of Witches is
not the first book by Hilary Thompson that I have read nor is this the first
book in Shift of Shadow and Soul world that I have read. The Shift of Shadow
and Soul is an amazing read. I can’t wait to read more in the Shift of Shadow
and Soul world and more byf this author.
