Touching Two Worlds: a book by Sherry Walling, and a beautiful production

Touching Two Worlds Production May 2022, Mpls

Sherry began her training as an aerial artist as a form or therapeutic movement. Using aeiral silks and flying trapeze, Dr. Walling experienced a powerful way to integrate movement into healing. After losing her father to esophageal cancer and her brother to suicide within six months, she embarked on a journey to explore pathways to wholeness in the aftermath of loss. This exploration led the grieving psychologist to an unlikely place: the circus. As a psychologist, Sherry makes a case for expressive movement as a core part of the mental health.
