I'm introducing the container from which I will be sharing the overflow from my full cup, offerings and events sculpted from my hands and heart.... 

 

For many moons I have been cultivating mind-body-spirit-community practices that have in turn cultivated me. I draw from nearly 16 years of yogic practice, formal education and professional experience in three quite different disciplines- environmental conservation, journalism, and healthcare- as well as professional and personal experience in community organizing, local food systems, nature immersion, and travel. I have very much followed my passions, curiosities and principles in life, and that has all played into my evolution as a human being and what I have to share now. Far from a straight path, I draw from the whole and back to the center. 

 

As I see and practice it, yoga is a path of self realization and liberation. It’s a science where you conduct the research on your mind-body and life-force. It’s not so much about “trusting the experts” or needing to have certain religious or secular beliefs (though a bit of guidance sure can be helpful). It’s about you becoming the expert of yourself. The word yoga in its simple elegance means to unite. It is the realization of one’s individual nature deeply united to all of nature.

 

Over the last eight years I have applied my personal yogic and nature immersion practices in service and offering to others. More recently, I’ve been working as a therapeutic yoga practitioner within a holistic mental health center, working with children and adults across the ability, wellness, and neurodiversity spectrum. In addition to yogic offerings, I’ve been sharing practices from the wisdom cache of somatics, ecotherapeutics, nervous system regulation, and applied energetic work. Far from this being niche woo-woo, there is mounting formal scientific evidence backing these embodiment practices for dealing with a wide range of maladies. 

 

All of this is in an effort to realize and sustain…Health, happiness, and peace for people and planet. 

 

 

 

Paying homage to the roots of yoga, Shakti is a sacred Sanskrit word with many facets. It is a representation of the Divine Mother, and describes the essential energy that pervades and unites the universe. It is the companion to Shiva, which represents consciousness, the Divine Father. Together, they are the dynamic, magnetic spin that creates life as we know it on Earth; the union of masculine and feminine. Through the lens of metaphor, deity, myth, physical substance, psychology and more, one can approach yoga from many vantage points. This mental agility, dialog, questioning and dialectic is encouraged throughout the yogic tradition and seen as key to seeking truth.

 

Holistic is a term that invites awareness to the bigger picture, to the wholeness of individuals, communities and systems in its interconnectivity, inclusive of all its aspects and environment. It is the opposite of reductionist thought, where things a

 

Stay tuned for more offerings, gatherings and events that deal with community and collective restoration, re-wilding, and liberation. More elemental explorations in the waters and woods, parties with purpose, and retreats to sacred spaces. 

​

May we create the world we wish to live in.
