“The map for our most sacred expedition is often only revealed when we are brave enough to step into the unknown, be guided by the light in our heart, the rhythm of our own feet, and the compass of our breath.”— Octavia Raheem from

Hi all, and sending New Year’s Eve Blessings to you!💫
This morning as I guided a yoga class with some longtime students, I shared a couple of passages from one of my favorite books by Octavia F. Raheem, Pause, Rest, Be: Stillness Practices for Courage in Times of Change. I share some of her words in the images here, and highlight some key inquiries Ms. Raheem poses. May it serve all.

[image 1] Hello from me(!) Reading some words of wisdom this sunny morning, grateful for where I am now. So many thank yous and energetic hugs to the loved ones–my family, dear friends and mentors–who have always believed in my light even when I felt it dim for a while. Love to you all always.

[on image 2] “When faced with an ending, an all-of-a-sudden ending, what do you do? What can we do when what we once knew and believed to be infallible begins to crumble before our eyes? When our inner and outer worlds are writhing in unexpected and prolonged pain? When the reckoning of ages has come slowly and then all at once?”

[on image 3] “Beloveds, there are so many endings crashing down at once. Can we sit alone and feel the magnitude of all of this? Then, can we sit together and strengthen our breath? Where my inhale is strong and yours is weak, can you be my exhale? Will you drum against your heart with me and call on everything that is sacred, holy, and timeless to have mercy on us all?

Let us begin with the end.”

[on image 4] “We trust that the endings we face will not end us. We know that some endings signify a much-needed change has come. As humans, we want so terribly to hold on, even when we have prayed for a shift and it arrives at our door. Help us to turn the k**b, cross the threshold, and finally close the door on the places that can no longer serve us. Help us to let go and surrender to the dissolution that many endings bring.”

[on image 5] “Do not let us forget that endings are often brave beginnings dressed in the scariest costume.”

Thank you for these words and reminder 🙏🏾 And may 2023 close with care. May 2024 continue to bring us all light, connection, and heart ❤️

Today, April 11, is the PUB DATE for this precious gem, We Heal Together: Rituals and Practices for Building Community and Connection, written by my friend & teacher, Michelle Cassandra Johnson, Michelle C. Johnson, Skill in Action: Yoga + Social Justice.

And in a few weeks, I will be joined by several other facilitators in offering virtual book clubs for We Heal Together! Those who pre-ordered the book and signed up for the book club will have a beautiful digital downloadable We Heal Together journal, which includes practices from the book and journaling prompts to support us on our healing journey. The book clubs will meet over the course of six weeks, meeting once a week for 90 minutes. The first five sessions will be facilitated by various facilitators who are in deep relationship with Michelle and committed to our own and collective healing journey. Then Michelle will facilitate the sixth session, and everyone who has participated in a book club will be invited to attend this session.

We Heal Together is a hopeful, wise, and practical guide to help us move into spaces of individual and collective healing, community, and relationship building—with practices to shed our isolation, connect, and thrive.

I’m super, super, super honored and excited to be a part of this opportunity for us to truly and deeply practice healing our hearts with one another and in community.

If you haven’t already, order We Heal Together now. I just finished the last chapter this morning and it fills me with such hope that we CAN heal TOGETHER! I’ll hope to see many of you virtually to dig into this meaningful book soon!
