the sky is falling — in my divination, in the form of massive, flaming meteorites. i walk through the doomed but beautiful landscape, a vast, indigo desert, lit as if by candle light. the scene slows, then stops, all the people fleeing death stilled to statues whose shapes i must navigate in the near darkness. i sense a false, sort of cgi quality to all of it, both fictive and fatalist, but also a truth burning cold underneath. chaos resumes as the scene reanimates. underneath our hollywood projections, dramatized stress and stories of victimization, there is real danger, displacement and violence. but if it’s not happening directly to us, in this moment, if we’re facing the discomfort of change vs unimaginable loss or collective neglect, then why do we so often feel like our day-to-day leaves us with no juice left to offer anyone else?
this seems to be the opportunity asked and offered us by the eclipses this month. if the way we live our lives — eat, exercise, work, play, rest, process, practice — isn’t supporting our capacity for effective, collaborative change work, it’s not only holding us back but denying the real need the world has of our gifts. if we’re finding our everyday interactions cratered with impassable spans of difference between us and strangers or those most intimate to us, how can we expect to rise to the solidarity demanded by crisis?
it’s my sincere, humble hope that the work i have to offer in some small way helps us to hold these questions for ourselves in a supportive, empowering context and to navigate towards bold, strategic, sustainable actions from the answers we get. you’ve got gifts to bring, i’ve got practices to share that can potentially give anyone a little more bandwidth, perspective, presence and support. i hope you’ll consider joining us in some form, and reach out with any questions that come up, or feedback about scheduling, content or format of these or past classes and workshops.
thank you so much for choosing to incarnate with us <3

2 NEW ONLINE OFFERINGS THIS MONTH
10/15 - 12-2pm - “sunday ceremony” - community spirit circle
online - $17 - 17 people max
calling all compassionate spirits! join us in co-creating a guided, collaborative ceremonial gathering in non-local space, anyone welcome from any ability, path, belief system or experience. ceremony is both art and practice, a way to set the energy for the day and order our small cosmos in a way that harmonizes the human within the larger cosmic dance. we’ll spend time dropping into our bodies, make offerings of gratitude, craft our ceremonial container with guided invocations, ask for the help we need and practice receiving and interpreting the myriad ways in which spirit shows up uniquely for each of us, with time for questions, shares and processing with teacher and peer support. any questions, please reach out.
10/29 - 12-3pm - thrive pt 1: grounding, grieving & dreaming with the earth
online - $33 - 33 people max
hot, smokey summer leave you ragged? cultural pivot back to ‘business as usual’ feeling wildly unrealistic and actually sort of violent? burnt out, drowning in sleep debt or just sort of grumpy, listless and stagnant? as the seasons shift and the veils thin, join us for an experiential immersion into embodied practices for reclaiming direct relationship with the earth as a consistent source of health, abundance, love and support.
together we’ll learn intuitive movement and meditation forms for:
grounding your body in the present, on the planet
cleansing and clarifying your energy and space
restoring your innate emotional flow and intelligence
reclaiming your embodied sense of passion and purpose
no experience necessary, just your willingness to imagine that you were dreamed here as medicine and you just needs the right practices and support to express your gifts in a way that shifts with the seasons, honors your innate wildness and harmonizes with the web of land and life of which you are a necessary part.
any questions, please reach out.
