Lucia's unique perspective has been published in “Dancing With Dharma: Essays on Movement And Dance In Western Buddhism” edited by Harrison Blum, Published by McFarland & Company.

Meditative stillness and movement inform each other, and are cathartic in combination. Becoming skillful in both of these realms helps us step away from dukkha (suffering) and into nibbana (peace).'
