n his first book, Marble Mindfulness, psychotherapist George Toth explains a marble assessment technique that he uses with clients and patients. With more than 40 years of experience in clinical social work practice, Toth understands relation- ships. “This book is about using marbles as a therapeutic and self-help tool in understanding yourself and your family,” Toth says. “I believe that this is unknown territory and has never been done before.” The technique will help readers identify conscious and subconscious messages about strength of relationships, person- ality traits, feelings, beliefs, values and place within a family or group. The book provides a simple step-by-step technique to interpret the placement of marbles and other small objects used in the method.

Honoring the Father within Us Workshop
H Tom Kelley
olistic health and compassionate integration counselor Tom Kelley is expanding his offerings. In addition to facilitating the Rockland Men’s Circle, Kelley now is counseling individuals and groups and offering workshops. Kelley
works primarily with men going through transition. Kelley’s own transition from former Marine Corps officer and successful business executive to counselor was interrupted last year when he was diagnosed with a rare and potentially fatal blood disorder. With a bone marrow transplant and long recovery behind him, he brings a grounded, real world sensibil- ity to his practice.
“Times of transition in relationships, career, and health can be the catalyst to change perspectives, confront challenges, and take action in our lives. This is the core of what we do in this work,” Kelley explains.
On June 18, Kelley will be leading a workshop from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Lift Wellness in Nyack entitled ‘Honoring
the Father within Us’. This workshop provides men with a rare opportunity to slow down, breathe and contemplate what is more important in their lives. Here men will explore, celebrate, and deepen their experience of what it means to be a provider, father and man. Participants will bring focus to the issues of life purpose, mission and work/life balance in the company of other men.
Rockland Men’s Circle also will be taking new members for the summer session starting in July.
For more information or to sign up for the workshop, contact Tom Kelley at 917-279-4112 or
