    Jan 1 2023

    With the clock reset its important to review lessons of what is left behind. A new year comes from fresh perspectives, a lighter version of who we are.

    Its not about fixing. It about meeting the self with care and compassion.

  • #11 Quietly Seeking
    Feb 9 2022

    Modern western society with its hyper-vigilance brings noise and chatter, that can permeate the soul , drowning out our own voice. A constant drive to find certainty, brings surplus sound in the form of internal and external voices. Exploring the line between quiet and silence is a journey worth taking, on the way we tune into our own heart and become our own best guide.

  • #10 Back Tracking
    Jan 26 2022

    • Can we practice being ethereal?

    Sep 12 2021
    Anchors are the activities we connect to our soul, and ground us to the earth.  "Submit to daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door.  Keep knocking and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who is there." - Rumi Links  Jonathan Fields- Uncertainty Mei-Lan Meditation Music  Tai Chi 24 form
