Weekly Meditation Gathering
A gentle, guided drop-in session open to all. This gathering explores a wide range of practices — each session is created to suit the moment and those present. The way we practice sees meditation as an innate human capacity, recognizing that our minds are made for curiosity and wonder, and making space to fall naturally into states of contemplation, rest, and reverie for integration and creation. This practice is amenable to busy minds and is trauma-aware: choice, grounding, exploration of somatic experience, and thoughtful self-regulation are steady threads.
This event is given freely; your choice to donate supports my ability to share teaching in widely-accessible formats. Thank you!
Weekly Newsletter
In Like a Lion
Mar 5, 2024 — Welcome to We Are Beloved, the newest incarnation of my newsletter. My aim is to offer resources that support you in whole-hearted living.
Taking the plunge & my new website!
Feb 27, 2024 — I'm over the moon to be hanging out my shingle and throwing my arms wide to the world once again. Welcome. I hope to spend time with you soon!
Lovingkindness Begins Next Week
Feb 23, 2024 — The greatest salve and spark anyone knows is love. It lights our way toward one another in both joy and sorrow. Love meets us in wholeness: in our hope, our celebration, our grief, our wishes for better things for everyone.
Braiding with Life
Feb 15, 2024 — It was so good to wander and wonder and heal, and oh, it is so good to be home! I am filled with awe and reverence for the opportunity to watch the cycle of the life of the Earth for a year again in the same place. The violet blue swallows who nest in our eaves should be returning soon.
My Bookshop is Open and Oh, the Interstitium!
Feb 8, 2024 — We are a community centered around thoughtful, curious, living presence, and books are an incredible way to share those. I am constantly recommending the books that help shape my thoughts and which I think might sparkle for you.
Lovingkindness Registration is Open
Feb 2, 2024 — Ah, the midpoint between Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. The Earth is stirring! The trees are budding, and so is my heart as I come to you today with a gift in hand, my next course.
The Side Door is Open
Jan 26, 2024 — I'm beginning to offer some small group yoga classes in my home studio/temple: some chair yoga, some mat-based yoga, and 1:1 healing sessions are underway. What a joy this is. I hope to see you here one day.
Four Times One & New Year's Resolution Support!
Jan 10, 2024 — I chose the word ONE, to encapsulate my belief that we are all part of the dancing body of the cosmos, all part of the sacred whole of the life of the universe, and that I should be kind to everyone.
January Refresher Support Circle
Jan 5, 2024 — One of the things I love about the long rolling path of the winter holidays is how December slowly melts into a sugary goo of both sacredness and debauch – and then we have this opportunity on the other side for a glorious renewal.
33 Sprigs of Rosemary
Dec 7, 2023 — In preparation for a small ritual, I have prepared some rosemary from the land on which I live: cut, pressed into books that are dear to me and which speak of mystery or spirit or poetry, and now dry and ready to flow onward.
