[close] Hoopdance Revolution is a hands-on guidebook to healthy fun, regardless of age, size, or level of fitness. It combines the experiences of the exemplary people Jan Camp interviewed in her search for the essence of hoopdancing classes, at international events, and through personal interaction.

With enthusiasm and gentle humor, the book describes the many ways hula hooping merges with dance, aerobic exercise, juggling, and yoga, and demonstrates how to incorporate hoopdance into your daily routine. The book’s website hosts over a hundred videos of tutorials and performances by professional performers, teachers, and followers worldwide that inspire personal development and reveal the unsuspected physical and spiritual benefits of playing with a hoop: greater stamina, sharper mental acuity and emotional balance, increased spacial awareness, and an overall sense of well-being and connectedness.

Hoopdance Revolution chronicles a cultural movement toward wellness. Having fun and being fully engaged with a challenging activity opens us to the possibility of entering a vivid, sensory world of healing and transformation. The hoop is a tool for play, physical focus, and spiritual meditation. Dancing with a hoop, spinning in spirals and drawing patterns in the space around the body intensifies the sharpens the intentions we hold in our hearts so that what we truly desire can come to pass.

In hoopdance we corral all the energy necessary for a vital life.

A book that asks the big questions facing today's generation

DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR is part dark and humorous memoir, part relentless cultural critique. How can a people who have so much still feel dissatisfied? How does an educated but jaded society reconcile what they know with what they see happening around them? These and other big questions are examined and updated for today. If you have ever felt that more should be happening – in your life, in this culture we give ourselves to – then this book is for you.


Using a familiar backstory and well-known cultural examples, revisiting our history to better see where we came from, DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR is a passionate and personal examination of that “something” that is missing in our lives, why this something continues to eat at us, and why we need a different approach to how we deal with it.

In a modern and fast-paced style, a compelling and common sense argument is presented for the next stage in our cultural evolution.

A must-read for anyone who's ever felt sure that there must be more than this
