Writing, sending, and receiving a handwritten letter cannot replace any email, text, or instant message. The thoughts and expressions are slow and intentional. The writer and sender shares a slice of present moment life and reflection. The receiver relishes an envelope with their name on it that traveled across land and instantly transports them to the sender’s world. ✨

When was the last time you hand wrote a letter and sent it by mail?

Join us for a Tokyo Unplugged Village gathering: PEN, PAPER & WORDS, The Lost Art of Letter Writing on Sunday November 23 1-3:30pm at Communita Cafe/ImpactHUB Tokyo in Meguro.

Tea ritual is a humble act of providing a bridge between the land and the human receiver. A few simple herbs provided by earth steeped in hot water shared in a vessel and offered in gratitude. Each Forest bathing session ends in this act. And yet the act alone of making, serving, and offering tea is a ritual that can stand all on its own.

Would you like to have tea with me? I have several upcoming Forest bathing sessions you can checkout on my website (link in bio). If in Tokyo, you can also request a private tea ritual with me out on the land; message me to inquire more.

About Michelle...

Michelle has been teaching yoga and mindfulness for over ten years emphasizing the principles of slowing down and being present with the complex experiences of being human. Michelle's intersection with yoga and meditation came in her late twenties after being diagnosed with cancer and spending two years navigating balance in the midst of a life-threatening disease. In addition to battling a terminal illness Michelle has experienced trauma and loss in her own life. She credits yoga and mindfulness for giving her the tools to self-regulate and manage her stress in times of grief, fear, and vulnerability. Michelle believes her yoga and meditation practices have improved her ability to become a better listener of herself and others while also teaching her the humble practice of acceptance.

With a masters degree in Mental Health Counseling focused on somatic psychology for trauma, Michelle's style of teaching is trauma-informed, person-centered, and fully accepting of all individuals from all walks of life. Michelle has worked as a internationally certified yoga therapist both in private practice and in clinical settings with her focus primarily on clients who have navigated trauma, grief, and loss. This includes working with active duty military members and individuals who are living with spinal cord injury, brain injury, cancer, chronic and life-threatening diseases, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.

Michelle specializes in training yoga teachers at all levels in their careers. She continues to provide trainings, workshops, and retreats in Asia and the United States in Yin Yoga, Trauma-Informed Yoga Teaching, Yoga Ethics, Mindfulness Practices, Somatic Practices, and Meditation.
