I’m excited to announce, after popular demand, Embodied Awareness, my most popular and longest running meditation series, now has a level two! I developed this series to offer a different perspective and approach to meditation: Instead of trying to master a technique, or try to make something stop happening (like thoughts), what if we instead focused on coming fully into ourselves and exploring what’s there, witnessing and practicing acceptance of what is?

If you feel challenged by emotional or “negative” mental patterns, physical pain, communication, feelings of distraction or inability to focus, anxiety, depression or a lack of authentic and deep connection to yourself, others and your life, the Embodied Awareness Meditation Series will help. Read on for details!

Cultivating Creative Flow: The Power of Ritual

Be it writing, art, music, performance or any other creative path, we all know, one of the hardest parts of doing our creative work is being consistent with our practice. Devoting ourselves to our work daily can feel easy and wonderful when we are in the flow, but when that flow is elusive or we are bogged down by life, and grappling with the part of us that is a bottomless pit of excuses, it can be tough. Developing a ritual can help.

Ritual is has been a natural and reliable part of the creative process for successful writers, artists, musicians, problem solvers and high achievers through out history. More than just a routine, a personal ritual is intentionally curated and implemented based on a person's own individual lifestyle, affinities, inspirations and beliefs that when used consistently, offers a dependable way to illicit the shift in focus and mindset necessary to do our creative work, at anytime, in any place, regardless of external circumstances or unhelpful thought pattens. Building a personal and empowering ritual into your writing practice will usher in the right conditions for flow to emerge as it taps into and harnesses the mindset and feeling tone that we relate to doing our own best work.

In this series of workshops, we will explore what ritual is (and what it doesn't have to be), how it differs from routine, and why it works. Through a combination of solo exercises, experiential examples and group discussion, participants will become familiar with which elements, channels of perception and types of inspiration speak most personally to them and leave with a plan to continue building and implementing their own personal ritual, as a step towards consistently finding the creative flow needed to do the work.

This workshop was presented as part of a 30 day project incubator with the Herstories Project. I will be offering it as a stand alone class in the coming months. Details to come!

Embodied Awareness Level II

In this next level, we'll go deeper and wider with our experience and understanding of ourselves as pure awareness, and of our embodiment. At this level, we are introducing more and more stillness into our practice, attuning to our individual experience: the thoughts and feelings that reveal truths about our needs, the ways we accept or reject ourselves and/or our experiences, the innate wholeness of our being.

This naturally brings up thoughts and questions about the nature of reality and our place in it. We’ll have those discussions.

This group experience will involve 30 to 40 minutes of silent meditation in an amplified group field, along with a healing energy transmission to support integration of your learning and experience in the session. We will have 15-30 minutes for discussion and Q&A, where we can share our experience, discuss challenges or revelations, and explore the nature of reality.

Pre-requisite: Embodied Awareness Level I and curiosity around the stuff of life and the limitations and responsibilities of being a part of it all.

Each session will run between 60 and 75 minutes.

This series will be offered via Zoom on Tuesdays at 6:30pm EST.

Next session begins April 22, 2025!
