When things are difficult, these feel even more important...

Here are the horoscopes, featuring a blast of tender insurrection from the darkness where the light secretly shines. Links in the comments.

(I put the links in the comments rather than the post because otherwise Facebook will barely distribute this post.)

This coming Friday evening, February 20th, Cassie and I will be hosting Permission Granted, an open-mic event for women to practice using their voice and sharing their passions.

This will be the fourth such event we have hosted, and each time we gather for Permission Granted, I am blown away by the incredible courage, depth, and brilliance that are shared.

We have space for performers and celebrators. So, if you are looking for something to do this Friday night, and feel even the slightest of pangs of interest in what we are creating, I highly encourage you to join us!

With all that is happening right now, even right here in our precious Lawrence community today, it feels like the necessary time to make some good trouble by standing up, speaking up, and supporting those doing the same!

I hope that you are well on this Tuesday afternoon, and I'm so grateful you're a part of my community.

Hello to you! I want to share with you an event I'm hosting next Thursday evening, December 18th from 7-8pm. I'm calling it Grounded Peaceful Presence - An hour of mindfulness and somatic practice to prepare for the season. While this event is not a Lawrence Women's Temple specific event, I am sharing it with you, in case you might like to join me.

For our time together, you are welcome to cozy in with a warm cup of tea as we share our personal hopes for the coming weeks and explore receiving our desires in the present moment. It will be a heart-warming and nervous-system-soothing time.

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or concerned about the holidays, or you're simply wanting to take a break and offer yourself some precious “me time”, you are invited to join me.

When: Thursday, December 18th
Time: 7-8 pm
Cost: $35
Location: The comfort of your own home via Zoom

If you can’t attend live, a recording of the practices will be made so that you can enjoy at your leisure.

If you feel called to join me, I’d love to spend the hour with you.

Wherever you are at, however you celebrate, may this holiday season be full of peace and love for you and yours,

Sincerely,

~ Jennifer

✨ Listening In – Practical tools to attune to the wisdom of your body ✨

As autumn deepens and the world feels loud and demanding, many of us long for something simple: the steady sense of safety.

Our bodies carry an ancient intelligence for sensing safety—through connection, place, community, and inner grounding. The Polyvagal Theory helps us understand how our nervous system is always scanning for these cues, shaping how we feel and respond.

This month’s Listening In newsletter explores how safety is both profound and practical, with reflections and a simple practice you can try today.
