Been nice to be in this spot contemplating having a future offering. Been here for a couple open mic jam sessions and will share more when I have worked on some “lesson plan” details. #yogi #musician #dancer #veteran #naropians (at West Street Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-mgjnFHQb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Alma Mater: I would say, yes, my previous school was a very nourishing experience. In both the four years as a student and three years as an employee. #naropa #naropauniversity #naropians (at Reno, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDmhzHlS09/?igshid=d32pdswcijz4

With a midway exhibit approaching for my MFA-IA program, and me needing to propose something for that exhibit, my thoughts keep gravitating to time as a student at Naropa University and the impact writing things down has on our consciousness. In 7th grade I wrote, for a class assignment, that I wanted to be a professional trumpet player. I don’t remember if I wrote any more details than pro trumpet player. That writing has manifested in interesting ways, with developments still to be worked on. I went into Naropa with the intentions of wanting to deepen my yoga practice and start a student group for social dancing. No details about how, simply the thoughts and aspirations. I have a sketchbook and many ideas have been recorded in that book. Now to see what manifests with the complexities of life that were not present when I was a seventh grader, and needing to be more detail oriented while in a masters program. Photo by Marc Piscotty.

A throwback in honor of my full time at Naropa University as a student, and finishing my time tomorrow as an AmeriCorps VISTA, where I worked to start improving veteran services at Naropa. I will be keeping my options open and looking at all aspects of my life and time at Naropa as potential job opportunities, while keeping in mind my passions (and basic needs). • Photo courtesy of Naropa University, taken by Marc Piscotty (21 August 2013) • • • • • • #photoshoot #smile #naropa #naropians #transition #throwback #contemplative @naropau
