Her passion for consciousness has led her to in-depth study of various spiritual traditions, such as Siddha Yoga, Taoism, and Native American Shamanism. At 24 she began creating and facilitating retreats for the SYDA Foundation.
The healing power of theatre, which Blair pursued for 16 years, inspired her to receive her Master's in Drama Therapy from Vermont College and The Institutes for the Arts in Psychotherapy.

organization to stop violence against women, and from the fall of 2000 through 2004, she developed and
led The Vagina Monologues Workshop, a creative approach to sexual empowerment for women
in New York City, Santa Fe, Los Angeles and at Omega retreat centers
in New York and in Austin, TX. She is currently writing a book about Late Bloomers.
