Come into the quieting 🕯️

Join us on Saturday, December 20th for a sweet and peaceful meditation gathering by candlelight, indoors at the Berkshire Botanical Garden (Center Building).

With hot tea and candles aglow, we will ease into the welcoming hibernatory energies that the Winter season offers.

Close out this year with the comfort of a community process to nourish your inner world.

No meditation experience is needed to join us, and this experience is a mix of brief guided meditations, resting into softness, and meaningful conversation.

It's the end of an era. After 14 years of offering somatics and meditation experiences at the Gray Studio (Lakeville, CT), yesterday I offered the final SUNDAY SOMATICS class with a sweet group of hearts. {Join the Emergent Nature newsletter to find out where my classes will happen next!}

Two of the somanauts are dance therapists who have attended classes with me there since September 2011. Another dear one in our group yesterday: my oldest friend (we met when we were 4 years old). 💕

Everyone contributes to the weave that emerges through sweet sensory explorations, reducing effort along the way, harvesting sensations of ease, and cultivating curiosity through non-verbal, emergent pathways 🌀🐚 What we create and nurture together brings me to tears so often.

Thank you to all of the dear hearts who have moved and meditated with me at Gray Studio over the years, and to the one and only Sarah Getz who so kindly welcomed me in 💕

And I am grateful for this light-filled space itself, that has held me in so many ways over these 14 years 🩷

Today was full of expression, mutuality and aliveness.

During the TENDING annual autumnal gathering, we tended our hearts of individual and collective grief, and remembered joy. Thank you to the dear hearts who joined online and in person.

Today was also the 9th and final day of my Non-Violent Communication training (for now). I am sitting with the depth of the 80+ hours we traveled together. Neuroscience, embodiment, humanistic psychology, indigenous wisdom, language play, and connection.

People from all over this planet (150 people) moved through a process of awakening to ways of expressing and listening, and of rising in caring presence for each other. Now, we bring this back to our lives and continue.

I have learned a great deal throughout our time together, and it has touched many layers of my life — in the past, present, and future.

Every conversation is a new opportunity for meaningful communication. And may we all hold each other in deep mutual care ♥️

Happy Samhain!

My love of the human skeleton happens throughout the year, and I enjoy celebrating its beauty for the festive time of Samhain ✨💀
