They are simply my notes, my interpreted, perspective-ed reflections, photos, and jottings, that occasionally combine my own records & thoughts with those of the speakers. There might be some typos.

Looking. Up (:-)

Somatics & Embodiment – just because you know better, doesn’t necessarily mean you can do better.

Just because there’s intellectual understanding, doesn’t mean it will lead to new action under pressure…

Is what you’re practicing in you life aligned with your values?

Transformation isn’t just an idea, it’s a lived, felt experience.

By learning to tolerate uncomfortability, and vulnerability..

We practice, we practice, we practice, and then at some point it clicks.

1) You are what you practice.

2) You’re always practicing something.

3) Is what you’re practicing in alignment with what you care about / your values?

How can we be of support?

The connection between the mind & body.

Head. Heart. Intuition :)

Can we act from a place where these are all in alignment at the same time?

The Way It Is by William Stafford

There is a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change People wonder about what things you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen, People get hurt or die, And you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop times unfolding. But you don’t ever let go of the thread.

May it be so...

Thank you for a restful, rejuvenating, embodied, and enlightening week 🙏🏽❤️📿🌸
