I try to be a grounding source. I prefer to not add to hysteria or speak in extremes, but I’ve got to say it. It feels like we are at some critical edge in this country and in this world. And because of that, it means that we are also at a critical edge individually. Click the link to read more.

Self-Kindness Workshop: Learn A Way Of Being That Changes Everything - https://mailchi.mp/64986cb71df0/strengthening-self-kindness-winter-2026

This is my favorite workshop to lead! I hope you will join me! Being kind to ourselves is not something many of us learned how to do. Either we weren't modeled it or we got caught up in a culture of thinking we need to be better, achieve more, have more, improve, be perfect, etc. But, life simply feels better when we are kind to ourselves!

A Mindful Pause 1/11/26: Making Space - https://mailchi.mp/03e5f136bf7c/mindful-pause-week-of-1-11-26
As we journey through January, I am feeling a strong pull to clear away the thick web of news, events, constant self-talk, busyness. Instead I am drawn to slowing down and feeling myself simply breathe. In everything I do -- simply breathe. It is as though something in me knows there is another way to be in the world, in this time. In this season of winter, in this season of so much worldly disruption.

Happy New Year. Though I am not offering my live New Year's Day Meditation & Bell Ringing this year, I spent many hours making and editing a recording of it just for you. Take a pause on New Year's Day to keep the yearly tradition alive and give yourself some reflective space with which to enter a new time.

I have made two recordings. The meditation is approximately 45 minutes and can be paused for a walking meditation break as we would do in person. The bell ringing is approximately 8 minutes.

This playlist includes both the New Year's Day Meditation and 108 Bells. The list will be available until 1/10/26.

A walk to take in the last day of the year. Thank you 2025. And now add some snow flurries! Pure delight.
