Looking forward to bonfires and tea time this fall!🍁🫖🔥🍂🍁🫖🍁🍂🍂🫖🍁🔥

The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen. They go to the theater, the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories.
~Paulo Coelho

Deeply grateful to be with my teacher Tej. A decade of personal and spiritual growth. Although the journey is not linear it is still incredibly rewarding. A practice does not save you from pain and suffering or making mistakes and just being human. But it does help you accept being human with compassion.

Yoga is everything and different on each day.
Sometimes it’s just a warm up and gentle stretching, other times more intense, a serious glandular and emotional detox, on some moons new and full it’s can be a release, other days it feels like a miracle, pure days are the unforgettable ones that feel like you are saturated in God’s loving presence and grace.

Yoga is a daily shower 🚿, a flowering 🪷 of trust, a heart that becomes more generous and forgiving, a spine that aligns more and more to integrity and true intention. Leaning and bending into the infinite, into prayer. 🌎🕊️☮️🙏🏼❤️

They are traveling all over America
until this Fall bringing a message of
peace and love.

🌼🌝The Flower Moon class was magical! 🌝🌼Thank you all so much for joining me!! A time for self acceptance and compassion. Remembering roses have hard stems full of thorns! We have a great shield 🛡️ for protection. We don’t have to erase parts of who we are to be loved.

It is a time to honor our gifts. Even if we live in a tiny town or middle of nowhere. We all have something to give. God is always looking for a good pair of hands to help and a beautiful heart to love.

Flowers remind us to be generous and open our hearts and minds. Finding new meaning and new purpose.

See you next week! A new event will be listed soon. 🌝🌸🌼🪷🌝

Today is Saga Dawa Düchen, one of the most sacred and significant days in Tibetan Buddhism commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. Saga Dawa occurs on the 15th day of the fourth month of the Tibetan Calendar. During this auspicious month, it is believed that all results of positive actions are multiplied and therefore it is important to take the opportunity to accumulate more merit through cultivating generosity, virtue, and compassion. 🙏

We love our Johnson County community and all that we accomplish together, but Old Drum Animal Shelter is currently in a crisis capacity state. Every single kennel is full both dog and cat. We have 230 animals in our legal custody, 53 of those are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, cleared as healthy by our veterinary team and actively waiting for adopters. Many others are available for foster while they wait for their spay/neuter surgeries.

We are in desperate need of fosters and adopters. If you have thought about adding a furry friend to your family, please visit Old Drum Animal Shelter at 35 SW 101st Rd in Warrensburg, call (660) 747-2127, or visit olddrumanimalshelter.org to view available animals.

Show up. The world needs you✨

🌈A universal sign of hope. 🌈 There’ve been heavy storms and powerful thunder.
I am sending prayers for a more compassionate world.
One being birthed through our thoughts, actions and the love we share with children and each other. The interconnectedness of all beings.

Little Dragons Tea Time !! 🫖 🐉🪷

What are the benefits of tea time?
(Other than the organic sleepy tea blend to encourage restful sleep!)

Tea time is a great way to learn to slow things down and enjoy the little things. We sip slowly, practicing being patient. We discuss the flowers harvested, the fragrance and health benefits! We are mindful and are considerate when others are speaking.
We practice listening and social skills.
But mostly we enjoy using our imagination and the tiny tea cups, sharing it with our dragons and tasting the flower water!
🪷🫖🐉

Join us for our next class. Parents are welcome to observe or participate. See event link for details.
Offered Mon/Wed 5pm ends May 1.

On Monday we learned yoga and breathing 😮‍💨 practices to avoid getting grounded! Each child said what happened when they get in trouble and what they are feeling. Sometimes little dragons want to use their fire 🔥!

We learned cooling breaths, affirmations to interrupt hurtful thoughts and words, heart centered meditation to calm down and understanding we all need time to reflect and feel better.
