Here is something impactful we can do. If you eat meat, find a local organic grass-fed beef farmer in Minnesota or Wisconsin. If you’re vegetarian, spread the word to your meat-eating friends. Buying local is more economical, environmental, and nutritious.

Don’t support Texas beef industry until they do the right thing. Democracy and your family’s health are all the better for it.

Nice big group this morning at Tai Chi by the River. But once again I had to cut practice short due to poor air quality. ☹️

We got through QiGong Eight Brocades. Melissa led the Sun 21 Form. We talked about being rooted in our practice of the Yang 24 Form. Kung Fu Fan Form looks great, because we practice. The Dancing Queen Flash Mob proved we need to practice more often. Afterwards coffee and treats at Mike and Kat’s and three adorable corgis! 🩷🩷🩷

We are back next Saturday morning at 8:45am for Tai Chi by the River. Fingers crossed for clean breathable air! 🤞🏼

The smokey haze of the Canadian wildfires served as the backdrop to a special outdoor private concert with Peter Mayer at Belwin Conservancy in Afton.

I am grateful for local artists like Peter Mayer who use their platform to continue to speak out for the environment, the arts, and humanity.

Afterwards a small group of us gathered at Joseph J Casey Observatory (which is in Belwin Conservancy). Volunteers from MN Astronomers guided us to see the moon. I didn’t think it could be done, but Peter was able to get an amazingly clear picture of the moon’s surface through this gigantic telescope with his phone camera!

Thank you to Dana, Belwin Conservancy, and Peter for a magical evening.

I’ll share a reel of Peter’s singing.

We’re gearing up for another postcard writing initiative. This afternoon in community acupuncture, another big stack of upcycled postcards were dropped off by an awesome cool person in our studio community. Thank you! ✊🏼

It’s super easy. Cut clean food boxes/packaging to 4” x 6” postcards. They’re free and perfect for writing your representatives to tell them what issues are important to you. Whether it’s protecting: children, our environment, democracy, our neighbors, education, bodily autonomy, freedom of speech, access to health care, due process, whatever… Write your representatives. Write them often! Now is not the time to be silent on issues that matter.

An eerie blood red sunrise due to the Canadian wildfires over Grand Lake in Michigan. Here in the St Croix Valley, the air quality is once again categorized as “Unhealthy” to breathe. All the while our environmental regulations are loosened. Climate action work and education are decidedly mocked and defunded.

Breath is foundational to any traditional healing practice (yoga, taichi, qigong, meditation, etc). Healing breaths are contingent on the inhalation of clean unpolluted air.

Our studio community won’t sit back and do nothing. We will continue to speak out, take action, and support others doing the work. I hope you will join us too.

A cool thing about ancient traditional healing practices is they’re not dependent on outside sources of power. Community acupuncture, yoga, tai chi, tuina bodywork, sound healing, biodynamic craniosacral therapy don’t require electricity nor internet to do their healing work.

However, many of you in the St. Croix Valley are still without power or internet from the severe storm last night. Many traffic lights around town are still out. We’re thinking of you. Please stay safe. We are very fortunate, our studio is open as usual. Community acupuncture is on!

If you need more reasons to LOVE the people of Scotland right now!

The Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm off the east coast of Scotland in the North Sea. They’re very visible from a certain golf course.

From a recent article in the British news publication, the Guardian: “I don’t want windmills destroying our place,” …said shortly before signing the Big Beautiful Bill which severely curtails new clean energy projects. “I don’t want these solar things where they go for miles and they cover up half a mountain and they’re ugly as hell.”

I personally think the windmills are beautiful. They are sleek in design, massive yet unassuming. I took this photo in July 2022. One of my daughters did her undergraduate work at University of Aberdeen. I was fortunate enough to have visited several times. Seeing these wind turbines never got old and these days they hold an extra special significance in my heart.

Link to the full Guardian article is in comments.

Slowing down is a practice.
Raising your awareness is a practice
Staying is a practice.
Releasing expectations of perfection is a practice.
Evolving is a practice.
Building community is a practice.

We are supporting the Los Amigos Program through the St Croix Valley Food Bank in Hudson.

I briefly met Petrona (the organizer) on the I-94 bridge at Hands Across the River this past Saturday. In our brief encounter I could tell she is one of those roll-up-your-sleeves, get-things-done type of woman. Instantly I was inspired by her work!

If you are wondering what you can do that will make a difference, support our local Hispanic families. These are extremely difficult and emotional times. Food scarcity doesn’t have to add to it.

Donate with the QR code or link. We are also collecting financial donations at the studio. The donation jar is at the front desk. Checks written to: St Croix Valley Food Bank with Los Amigos Program in memo.

Resistance is also doing the work that builds the kind of world we want to live in.
