Let’s think about this; about how we live in a culture that worships answers, solutions, fixes. We are taught, quietly and persistently, that anything uncomfortable – any grief, uncertainty, ache or shadow – is a flaw to be eradicated. We’re taught that we, in our raw and unfolding humanness, are […]

First, Happy Solstice to the collective who celebrated yesterday. May the light stretch long and guide us home. Second, in a new community (because yes, I moved), with familiarity behind me, I had the pleasure of facilitating a robust discussion/workshop, on our human experience and the Moon. More specifically, we […]

Question. Ever notice the outside world echoing the current state within? How in moments of stillness and clarity, the leaves seem to sway in perfect rhythm. The wind grazes our cheek in gentle blessing. In the quiet of the moment, something inside us recognizes a familiar harmony — and for […]

With tiny bodies and little awareness, we’re tossed into this human phase of our journey and expected to navigate this thing called life. It’s a gorgeous mess, isn’t it? Aren’t we? One moment things are exactly as we’ve planned, the next what we’ve so carefully curated rains around us in […]
