This dog is ready to come home with you!! 🤍

Meet Pat!
Pat has been in a foster home for several months now, so this Saturday (April 11) is your chance to meet him in person! Pat will be in the shelter from 11am-1pm to meet potential adopters. And we’ll be there to answer any questions you might have about him.

From this foster “Pat’s dog friendly and people friendly. He’s great in the car and house trained. He’s been to several events and did great. He loves to play with toys (especially tug with a rope toy), perch on a bench and look out the window, go for walks, and learn new tricks. He would make a great family dog as well as great companion to almost anyone. He’s visited classrooms, went to a farmer’s market, and also to a hockey game! He’s loves action, but he also loves a kong and a cuddle.”

Complete an adoption application today and meet Pat Saturday!

I made this cozy chai coconut chia pudding for our yoga pot luck and again at our educator self-care, Retreat . Many of you asked if I could share the recipe so here you go! It’s simple, nourishing, and perfect to make ahead.💛

🥥 Chai Coconut Chia Pudding (Serves ~5)

Ingredients:
• ¾ cup chia seeds
• 2½ cups coconut milk
• 1¼ cups chai concentrate (like Tazo)
• 2–3 tbsp maple syrup
• ½–1 tsp vanilla
• small pinch of salt

Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, add:
• coconut milk
• chai concentrate
• maple syrup
• vanilla
• salt
Whisk well.
2. Slowly add chia seeds while whisking (this helps prevent clumps).
3. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
4. Stir again really well (this step is important for a smooth texture).
5. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).

😎Next Day:
Give it a stir and adjust if needed:
• Too thick → add a splash of coconut milk
• Too thin → add 1 tbsp chia seeds, wait 20 minutes
• Not sweet enough → add a little maple syrup

✨ Optional Mix-Ins (after it’s set):
Stir these in or add on top before serving:
• fresh berries or sliced banana
• diced apples or pears
• toasted coconut flakes
• chopped walnuts or pecans
• granola
• sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg
• crushed gingersnap cookies or graham crackers
• drizzle of honey or extra maple syrup

It’s super flexible and easy to make your own. Let me know if you try it! 💛

PEACE. PEACE. PEACE.

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

My heart is full of gratitude.

On Friday, we hosted a beautiful Sound Journey with Tiesha McNeal of Harmonic Path surrounded by the most incredible humans who showed up with open hearts and created such a magical, supportive energy together. ✨

A moment I’ll never forget… my nephew Oliver joining on percussion. Watching Oliver and Tiesha play together filled my heart in the deepest way (and yes, I even got to drum a little too 🥹).

And today, we gathered again for a mini retreat for educators and really, any human feeling overwhelmed and in need of care.

I feel so grateful, so blessed, and so deeply supported by this community.
Thank you for being here. 🤍
