100 Breaths
100 Breaths: Experience the power of micro-meditation Meditation can seem mystifying and mystical… The benefits unattainable or something that can only be attained after years of practice and patience and… well…real life (for many of us) does not include easy access to that sort of space and time. In the same way as nearly almost… Read More
Evolution
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-KtbpJlYpM?rel=0] Evolution is such a funny thing. Sometimes it takes *work* and effort and intention, and sometimes it is as if it is more about momentum. It is about openness. It is about saying, ok, I’m ready. Even if you are not quite 100% ready, or want to have a more complete vision, or… Read More
Less, not more
If you’re like me, there’s a tendency to pack more in. More things, more activities, more obligations, more things on the to do list, more things stacking up, piling up, more more more more more More wants, more shoulds…..

Gratitude
In our busy lives, it is so hard to carve out time, even small bits, to explore our own edges, to push our boundaries, to try new things. It is hard sometimes to find time to do the things we already know we love! Thank you to everyone who took part in the Campfire workshop… Read More
Campfire: Closing Campfire
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIX28aHasPU?rel=0&w=420&h=315] This weekend was about allowing ourselves to be brave, in small ways, by taking ourselves out of our comfort zones of known behaviors, of known skills, of known territory. This was about exploration, and serendipity, about happy accidents, and stolen moments. This, for me, was about strong tea and gluten free cupcakes, waist-high… Read More
