With the pandemic being “over” many of us cannot use that as an excuse to not engage with family or other holiday obligations.  Perhaps this is the first time in years you are entertaining reconnection and you are worried.  Are you afraid you feel your boundaries will be forgotten or challenged?  Perhaps you are wondering how to create space.  Or are you wondering how to maintain your peace and growth?  

You are not alone. 

The health and alignment of our spirit matter as much as that of mind and body. Spirit offers root when there appears to be none.  In a time when we are inundated daily with violence, fear-based propaganda, illness, violations of human rights, and shifts in climate to mirror it, we need to find ways to stay present and nurture an ongoing connection with what matters most.  We need to stop draining our energy in reaction and create an embodiment of aligned response.

This virtual gathering is a practice of sacredness, of sacred inquiry to deepen our roots to weather change, challenge, and uncertainty.  It will keep us dreaming and sculpting what we want to see and how we want to show up.  Each meeting consists of pithy teachings, contemplative prompts, guided meditations,  yoga nidra, and collective conversation.  We will create a contemplative creative community in service of opening to Spirit  to offer support, stability, and insight in emergent ways.

If you identify as Black, Brown, or a member of the global majority, come join us online Thursday 8 - 9:30AM PST from October 27 - November 17th, 2022.  In the season of giving, consider offering this to someone who may benefit!

Uncertainty feels like a long time stay, doesn’t it? Do you find yourself having a difficult time knowing what to do in the space in-between? Have you gone to the protest, signed the petitions, done “the work” and are asking yourself “Now what?”

In the gap between action and manifestation, sometimes unwanted guests come knocking – be it fear, grief, anxiety, or others.  These guests can crowd our house of self and make it difficult to reconnect to what really matters.  

The conditions of our spirit matter as much as that of our mind and body.  Spirit offers root when there appears to be none.  In a time when we are inundated daily of the dissolve of our lands, violence, illness, and violations of human rights, we need to find ways to stay present and nurture an ongoing connection with what matters most to us versus draining our energy in reaction to the myriad of atrocities lining our feed. 

This gathering is a practice of sacredness, of sacred inquiry to deepen our roots as the torrents of change pass through.  It will keep us dreaming and sculpting through the pen what we want to see.  Through teachings, multiple practices, poetry, small group work, play in between sessions, and large group invitations, we will create a contemplative writing community in practice of emergence and opening to Spirit, however you define it, to offer support and insight.
