Acceptance and Patience are quite different for all of us. Recently in our Saṃgha Offerings we spoke about this very thing. And while Acceptance and Patience takes on many lenses, such as death, aging, and how we interact with our loved ones, I have come to these thoughts. I still miss Mabel very much, theContinue reading “Acceptance & Patience”

We had to say goodbye to our sweet little Mabel. She warmed everyone’s heart and was always happy and just looking into her eyes was like looking into the soul of a person. She was with me anytime I was teaching online, students tell me they miss her gentle snores that were so comforting. ItContinue reading “Letting Go & Choice…”

I took this picture in India, a place where Ayurveda is alive and is part of everyone’s life. I was surrounded by this ancient knowledge and have a full respect for this Practice. I knew then and there I wanted to go deeper.  In the last year I have finished my certification to be anContinue reading “Ayurveda For A Heart Centered Life”

Those of you who know me are aware that 1). I do not like having my picture taken. I had a student the other day say “hey I think we took that training together, I will have to go back and look at the pictures.” I told her I am always hiding or finding aContinue reading “The Thick Life”

We each spent many months in our mother’s womb listening to her heartbeat, a steady rhythm… lub, dub… lub, dub… lub, dub. This natural beat is entrained into our nervous system and can be tapped into once again. Drums have been used in every culture for many purposes from religious rituals and other ceremonies, toContinue reading “Shamanic Drum Journey”

Community… this is how I grew up, can you guess which one is me? I grew up on a farm surrounded by lots of family. Fast forward to 2020 and we go into lockdown, no social interaction or any kind for 2 solid years, even more for some. Then blast into 2022 April to SeptemberContinue reading “Community…”

Dear Ones… I cannot believe that it is December!! Being away for 6 months really makes the year short. For many reasons this is my favorite time of the year. Mostly for the idea that I can begin again, shake off the old and bring in the new. It was not until recently that IContinue reading “Happy Holidays!”

This picture really represents how my entire summer went. I remember a friend saying to me “Wow the entire summer has gone by” and as I realized it was September, it was very apparent to me that my life really was on fire. My 90 year old mom broke her ankle in two places andContinue reading “My Life On Fire….”

Holi, the festival of colors, always reminds me of the upcoming Spring season. It signifies the end of Winter when things are dark and heavy, it leads us to light and new paths for growth as Spring approaches. It is marked in Ayurveda by the junction of Shishira (winter) and Vasanta (spring) seasons. These 15 daysContinue reading “Happy Spring Equinox!”
