The events of the past week have been weighing heavy upon my heart. I feel/sense the pressure on my sternum physically and notice difficulty in the taking in of a deep breath. Rising thoughts of staying in isolation longer is tugging on my heart, calling in deeper heaviness upon my thoughts. As I have been […]
I wasn’t sure how to present our Air Element for this month’s blog. How does one language the unseen without reverting to objectifying its living essence? Collaborating with this living sentient intelligence through direct experience speaks into what we are going to explore together. Having said this, I’ll invite you to relax, and come on […]
In 2020, we all have experienced changes in our lives that were dramatically different than in previous years.
