Dear friend, musican, nature protector, and healer is hosting an artist wellness retreat on his beautiful family land, , in the heart of the Everglades.

April 25-26, noon-noon

Unplug, bathe in nature and sonic healing, and connect with other artists.

I am honored and excited to facilitate the Breathwork in Motion and Sound Bath sessions.

There will be nature immersions and conversations centered on the artist experience.

Mayte Ruiz and I will be offering massages. We met in August at an arthritis massage training (prevention included) and have been trading ever since. Her help has been essential to my continued ability to work. She is truly a phenomenal gifted healer.

If you have been feeling called to create harmony, internally, with other souls, and with and for the earth and all living beings, this is the present opportunity.

Artists don’t always feel events like this are available or feasible financially, so the price is set at $25 for the event including camping. And a sliding scale is available for anyone who would like to attend.

When I had the privilege of hosting yoga at Jack’s The Everglades Roots Festival in January, I immediately thought about having an artist retreat here. When I asked Jack about the possibility he mentioned he already had this gathering in the works for this weekend in April. Instant yeses and feelings of peace, connection and deep gratitude abound.

The land is innately healing, and the energy of the people who have lived here and cared for it, preserve it, are worth the journey.

90 minutes from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers
2 hours from Boca, West Palm
3 hours from Tampa, St. Pete

If you are local, come through.
If this is the thing you need, book a last minute flight, tack on a day or two at the beach with me too if you like.
Please tell a friend who could use a positive infusion in their creative life.

So excited to be offering Swamp Yoga Saturday and Sunday morning at the The Everglades Roots Festival in Ochopee, FL.

Festival yoga is my favorite kind where we tap into nature, music, and community, to energize our experience, presence, and love, as we breathe, move, release and activate.

Honored to be a part of this stellar lineup of artists here in the south lands. .grass.is.dead

Overnight camping and day tickets are still available!

Presence to perform your craft or an alternate activity, such as clean a flood and fix a leaky toilet….

The expression of this pose (bound side angle 📐) with the connection of my hands behind my back and around my leg, is not something that I always can do.

At one point in my life I strived for this described “advanced” expression: for the challenge, the look, the desire to “do it right,” let’s call it ego.

I hadn’t been able to clasp my hands like this for a number of months.

My shoulders, wrists and neck have been weaker and tighter than other times, which presents issues in the form of pain, numbness, and grip endurance.

I have been very dedicated to solving these problems as they have negatively impacted my life.

Dedication in the form of daily practice, including specific strength and mobility exercises, stretches and self massage, while actively engaging the help of other practitioners, at minimum weekly for the fall season.

The results that this picture represents are in the strength and openness I feel, and the absence of pain and dropping things.

I gained back mobility and strength in my neck, shoulders, and wrists by following a protocol that I know works.

I disciplined the habits and environments to stay committed, including a level of egoless witnessing the process of being present with my body as it is when I am.

I am not done, and I look forward to doing the work because I developed the methods of practice and environment design that also make the work enjoyable, not just worth the result.

A personal practice is personal, but I am a co-creator, drawing from the guidance and knowledge of my teachers, peers I have sought help from, and 2 decades of developing these practices for clients, family and friends.

If you want to do stuff that you can’t currently do, or you want to feel a way you don’t currently feel, I am here to help you create the life you want to lead.

My minimum daily practice is now 6 minutes, (often 20-90 minutes but 6 is my minimum)

I started with 2 minutes/day minimum.

DM me DAILY
to get your essential 2 minute personal practice.
