Janet Adler 1941 – 2023

Photography by Jens Wazel

The collected writings of Janet Adler illuminating the development of the Discipline of Authentic Movement over the past fifty years.

“This book is a harvest, an ingathering, a symphony, singing us back into our sacred embodied selves. Janet Adler’s writings are deeply personal and powerfully universal, life-changing and life-giving, rendered even more lucid and accessible through the deft overtures offered by editors Bonnie Morrissey and Paula Sager. Intimacy in Emptiness not only invites us to celebrate the temple of our own bodies, but is also an elixir for healing the body of the world.”

— Mirabai Starr, author of Caravan of No Despair and Wild Mercy

Our teacher, mentor, colleague, and dear friend — Janet Adler — left this earth on July 19, 2023. From what we understand, Janet’s last days were often filled with radiance and wonder. Inspired by Janet’s life and love, may we see more clearly from the heart, and move with compassion through our lives. 

Below is a beautiful five-minute tribute to her life, created by Berlin filmmaker Jens Wazel. This tribute is excerpted from his new half-hour long homage, “LIGHT | Five Days with Janet Adler”.
