These are some days! For some, unexpected, difficult and uncertain. For others, not. It is important to remember that although we are each in our own unique experiences, the two experiences that bind all humans are JOY and SUFFERING. Suffering can lead to fear (which, in turn, drives hate) OR it can lead to compassion (which I like to say is a perfect blend of love + understanding). Fear can lead to aggression while compassion can lead to action. So, while suffering can cause division, the understanding of suffering can also create unity. My wish for myself and for each of you is that you can find your own ways to show up in ACTION in meaningful and important ways in your immediate and extended communities.
I found this compilation of thoughts from many Buddhist teachers to be very supportive over the past few days. I hope you find something supportive in it as well.
Along with my regular classes, I've added a Meditation (by donation) on Monday evenings from 5:30-6:15pm, starting 11/21 (more info below). Since my meditation practice continues to unfold as one of my greatest supports and shows up in my life in bigger and bigger ways, it is my wish to continue to offer the space and structure for you to explore yourself by way of seated practice. I hope you can join me.
Lastly, there will be NO classes on Thanksgiving Day - Thursday, November 24th. And ONLY 3 SPOTS left for my Self-Care Workshop on December 4th!
<3 Always.

What are you radiating at this very moment? And is it what you would wish to radiate? Whatever you are experiencing internally is at the root of what you're putting out into the world.
In Life Coaching, we take a step-by-step look at the following relationships: circumstance --drive--> thoughts (based on our conditioning) --drive--> feelings --drive--> behavior (our actions). While we generally can't change our circumstances, we can do work with our thinking, which results in different feelings and behaviors.
So, if your feelings or behaviors aren't lining up with how you'd wish to show up in your life, relationships, work, community, I encourage you to consider how coaching could support you.
If you'd like to learn more about my Life Coaching work, please respond to this email and let me know!. Coaching can be done via Skype, over the phone or in-person at my office at The Apiary.

Self-Care Workshop
Sunday, December 4th, 3:30-5:15pm
at The Apiary
**ONLY 3 SPACES LEFT**
What would it feel like if you were to move through the holidays and into the New Year feeling more complete, more full (and not just from all the feasting), and more available to meet life and whatever it brings your way? Can you imagine that?
Come explore the meaning of self-care (might not be what you think it is!) and leave with tangible, unique-to-you ways to support yourself and keep yourself full enough to show up the way you'd wish in life. Workshop will include meditation, inquiry, and body-awareness tools.
Space is limited to 15 students. First come, first serve.
Cost $35
REGISTER HERE. Before it fills!
