Friendship calls forth different parts of us and asks us to notice them. Not to banish them to therapy forever as a problem. But simply to witness them with curiosity and compassion. Which is actually very similar to meditation, except instead of a cushion, there is another human being who might text you back three hours later.

Friendship teaches us about attachment, impermanence, rupture and repair in real time. It humbles us. It stretches us. It shows us where we cling, where we disappear, and where we are brave enough to stay present even when things feel awkward or super tender. You know that feeling?

And sometimes, friendship is just exquisite. We get lost in a shared moment. We feel deeply seen and felt. Time softens. The body relaxes. For a moment, everything feels aligned and we think, oh, this is why we are here.

This is the heart of the Friendship Class I’m offering.

It’s a space to explore friendship through somatic awareness, nervous system wisdom, and honest conversation. We’ll look at why friendship can feel so nourishing and so painful, how rupture lives in the body and how repair and boundaries can be practiced without self-abandonment or spiritual bypassing.

If friendship feels confusing, tender, unfinished or sacred to you, you are very welcome.

Friendship calls forth different parts of us and asks us to notice them. Not to fix them. Not to banish them to therapy forever. Just to witness them with curiosity, compassion, and care. Which is actually very similar to meditation, except instead of a cushion, there is another human being who might text you back three hours later.

Friendship teaches us about attachment, impermanence, rupture and repair in real time. It humbles us. It stretches us. It shows us where we cling, where we disappear, and where we are brave enough to stay present even when things feel awkward or go awry.

And sometimes, friendship is just exquisite. We get lost in a shared moment. We feel deeply seen and felt. Time blurs. The body relaxes. For a moment, everything feels aligned and we think, oh, this is why we are here.

Friendship lives in the body.

When a friendship shifts or ruptures, it is not just something we “think” about. The nervous system feels it first. The tightening. The urge to explain or withdraw. The question of “am I still safe here?” Or even “who is this person to me?”

These responses are not personal failures. They are biological patterns shaped by attachment, history, and the deep human need for connection.

In my Friendship Workshop, we explore the ups and downs of friendship through somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and relational repair. So we can stay connected without abandoning ourselves.

If friendship feels tender, confusing, or unfinished, you are not alone. You are human. Times are weird and some friendships have gotten weirder.

Join me on January 20th for a deep dive into it all.
Live and recorded.

Every year around this time, I watch people choose their word, set their intentions, make their resolutions. ( a friend recently asked me what my word is but I literally have forgotten already). And I always want to be that person who maps out a plan and then calmly executes it step by steady step.

However, New Year’s resolutions have never really worked for me.For a while I thought it was a “stick-to-it-ness” problem. Maybe I wasn’t disciplined enough. Maybe I forgot too easily. Maybe I’m just not wired like the people who create a five-year plan and actually follow it.

This weekend a friend reminded me of something: in Ayurveda, I’m very much Vata/Pitta. Air and fire. I move with feeling. I can be impulsive, emotional, intuitive, creative, lit up, and then… on to the next thing. Another friend once said, “You do everything with a lot of feeling,” and I took that as both a compliment and a mirror.

So resolutions, for me, start to feel fickle. They can hold us accountable in ways that sometimes feel tight, rigid, or unreasonable. They assume that the person I am on January 1 is exactly the same person I’ll be on March 18… or July 2… and she usually isn’t.
