Everything Hallelujah...

Life lately has looked like baseball fields and muddy cleats.

Trying to stay dry at soccer tournaments.
Wincing at the impacts done on Lacrosse fields.
Walking barefoot in my garden to cut fresh mint.

Just as quickly as the season began, it is coming to a close. So too is another year of life, soon to name a phase once lived. Watching my son walk on the high school auditorium stage to receive an award collapsed time into a blip.

The ordinary rhythm of life brings stability and anchoring to an otherwise swift moving current of life. When looking back at my life, the milestones may be remembered and marked, but, I imagine longing for the simpliest of experiences.

The car ride conversations to and from school.
The sideways glance my oldest son makes when pondering.
The wag of Ruby's tail when walking in the door.
The way my son says I love you as I leave his room at bedtime.
The smell of beachside roses.
The sound of my husband breathing as we head to sleep.
Birds' chorus at dawn.

These days, I am trying to pay attention, practice gratitude, and notice the life that is already here.

Life is happening in every moment. I am here for it.

Last night, we shared music, movement, breath, and practice together.

I wanted to share a few moments here as well.

The sounds, songs, spirit of the community, and voices joining together. What a magical experience. Hearing a room full of people sing doesn't translate easily into words.

Perhaps this video offers a small glimpse.

Thank you, Girish Music for sharing your music, and thank you to everyone who joined us in welcoming the Solstice together.

A few moments from our recent Sacred Nurture.

A day shared with Ginny Gill for women, mothers, caretakers, and those who spend so much of their lives tending to others.

We gathered for cacao, movement, breathwork, nourishing food, and time together. A chance to slow down for a few hours, settle into the body, and simply receive.

No pressure to be anything other than human. Just space to breathe, soften, connect, and be held in community.

Grateful for every woman who spent the day with us.

Hoping for more spaces like this, where we can come as we are and remember we don’t have to carry everything alone.
