Yesterday I had the pleasure to attend ‘Day of Play’, hosted by , up at the . If you don’t know her transformative work I’d suggest you check her out! Not only was it incredible being surrounded by so much nature and No City sound pollution, I also had a magnificent time healing through play, connecting more deeply with myself, and this soul tribe that DeAnna has cultivated of like minded/hearted individuals. This taps into the 2nd chakra for me. Svadhisthana is partly about finding a healthy sense of pleasure. Doesn’t always have to go to the sexual realm. But play is pleasure. Smiling, laughing, how your nervous system feels, moving your body intuitively, one-ing with nature and gazing into the eyes of souls that are on this same journey with you. It was powerful, deeply healing and releasing! Thank you to the incredible facilitators We all need a little play in our lives. So I hope you’ll invite more Play into your life, find DeAnna (shewhobuilds) and next time join us in her ‘Day of Play’ workshop.

Happy Hump Day everyone,

Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not I am grateful for you all. Each and everyone of you has made my life better by sharing the love of yoga with me, and by sharing smiles, laughter and even some deeper moments along the journey! I hope you feel I share my gratitude with you all beyond just this one day and I encourage you to do the same with your loved ones. 🫶🏽

Also, I believe we can hold two truths in our minds, and hearts. It's so important to acknowledge the indigenous folks who also have a connection to this day called Thanksgiving. I am not saying you shouldn't celebrate 🎉 Please, enjoy family, food and (for some) football 🏈. I am asking for you to consider taking a moment, even just one minute, to acknowledge and maybe even send a loving thought to the lineage and the descendants of the Wampanoag people and all Indigenous folks. For they are too part of this land and this history, called United States of America. 🇺🇸

Please embrace this quote, please read this article and watch the videos in it and please enjoy the memes attached. We are all human and there are a wide range of thoughts, emotions, experiences and perspectives. I believe we can live in a world where all voices are heard. 🙏🏽

"Today, Thanksgiving for many holds a meaning unconnected to historical events.

It is a date where family and friends unite to give thanks for what they are most grateful.

The origin of Thanksgiving may be uncertain, and we are right to continue to question it, but what has emerged is a day where family and charity values are celebrated and thanks is given."

I had a magical morning. I danced my heart out freely in the sacred and safe space Lisa West created. Even released e-motion (energy motion) through my eye vessels. It was a beautiful release. There was nothing wrong. There was just space available to release. I also picked ‘The Crone’ card that was extremely impactful too. Prayers will always be answered!🙏🏽✨🙌🏽

After this magical class I went into a Divine Femme Kundalini yoga class led by Devon Sophia! Soooo soooo powerful! It took me a while to get out of my head this morning but the prosperity Kriya did it for me. The combination of the easy arm gesture, the mantra and visualizing that beautiful green energy around me took me from my head to my heart! It was everything! AND Devon shared her angelic voice with us! 🔮

I couldn’t have had a more magical and necessary morning! Movement, dance, yoga, breath, mantra, visualization, and community saves lives! I know it saves mine!
