Kali
This past week, in the New York City part of the globe, was the spring equinox on March 20th. This is the festival of Ostara, the beginning of longer daylight time and the awakening of the earth with blossoms! This is why we evoked the Kali essence within ourselves.

Shakti
Make a peace sign in your hands! Now, place your index and middle fingers down over your thumb, and lift your ring and pinky fingers up; bring these two hands to meet and you now have Shakti mudra! Shakti Mudra. This was our “Mudra Dance” that opened most of our practices this past week. Breathe in […]
Discernment / Saraswati
March is women’s history month. In the first week of March, I wanted to highlight a Goddess. As I was still feeling the deep underlying threads of the past couple of weeks around this idea of “what are different aspects to keep in mind when you’re on a journey”, I knew I needed to take […]

Uncertainty
Below is the blog I had created before Wednesday, January 6th, the day the capitol was stormed here in the U.S.. After that day, the intention softened from one of uncertainty moving us towards making great change and saying “yes” to getting active in life; into one that was more gentler, softer, a practice of […]
Precious Human Birth
In this first week of the new year of 2,021, I truly fell in love with this offering from Mark Nepo out of his book, “The Book of Awakening”. It brought me to tears a few times. When he says, “in this time, in this place”, I was taken aback. To practice this level of […]
