Hello friends! As I slowly re-enter the world of teaching and coaching, I am so happy to let you know about new offerings from the LifeArt curriculum. As many of you know, my teaching focuses on research-based practices that cultivate resilience, joy, equanimity, and peace. Heaven knows we need as many of those qualities as we can get these days, right?

To that end, I am offering four monthly meditation classes for the fall session. All of them are offered at no cost, and are open to practitioners of any level. Join me in one (or all!) to explore a concentration practice that will help you cultivate a relaxed body, clear mind, and an open heart: https://bit.ly/LAfall21

Today finishes the last brutal week of 2020—by almost all counts, a perfectly miserable year.  And yet, I see so much to be grateful for. I am alive, healthy, safe, loved, and highly motivated to keep going, keep learning, keep loving, and still fascinated by the amazing emergence of energy

What's it like to be silent for days?
It's like not having to save the world.

There is no better time for my ego to give me an extra dose of urgency than right on the heels of a healing retreat. That's when I turn to these wise words from Pema Chödrön and Seth Godin.

Last week I wrote about preparing for retreat.  This week I’m offering a piece written my first day home from a 2017 retreat in Nicaragua.  It gives a glimpse into the joys and the challenges of re-entering normal life.  I’m heading into a 7-day silent retreat on Thursday,
