            HERE.

                Here is not a place or a time...

            Be here with me, in the Truth.

When it’s right, it’s right.

My family and I have finally arrived in our new-old, still under heavy renovation home. 

This house on this street on this hill, I swear, sits in an energetic vortex. The amount of rightness I feel at my core, within my whole physical system compares only to a few other experiences in my life. And I so-much welcome that. I feel like I’ve been making my way HERE my whole life.

HERE: there’s no logical order, almost no functional appliances, no way of knowing where anything is or how to make the normal life-things work. 

HERE: would formerly have made me suffer - anxious, stressed, angry. All signs would point to very much NOT happy.

And yet…

These are the things to notice; the experiences to pay attention to:

—> the ones when the conditions in which you find yourself absolutely aren’t being met with your habituated inner (that becomes outer) state

—> the ones in which you surprise yourself by being totally free of the stories, thoughts, and feelings that have resided in you for so long

These are the times when you know transformation has occurred and that you are both more free and much closer to Truth.

Watch for the moments that point to your growth; see yourself having a new experience of yourself in situations that would have formerly brought out something else in you; pay attention to the small (yet) massive shifts in perception.

HERE: is not a place or a time or a version of yourself; it has nothing to do with what’s outside of you; it’s not over or never; it’s always and ever and now and yours.

Half-Day Silent Meditation Retreat

February 12, 2022

9am-12:30pm

Richmond, VA

Nothing has supported me in my life more than the direct teachings & guidance of my teacher.

Nothing has shown me more about myself and no one has quite ever cut through my egoic material like she has.

I would not be where I sit today without learning to sit with myself.

Over the past decade, I have worked with her 1:1, sat for hundreds of hours of weekly meditations, and accumulated weeks of silent meditation retreats.

And now, only now, am I ready to offer this to you...

Though I always incorporated silence + meditation into my annual retreat, I will now begin to offer silent meditation retreats. It is an honor and a privilege.

My next offering will be a Half-Day Silent Retreat:

Saturday, February 12, 2022, 9am-12:30pm

Richmond VA

Sliding scale donations: $40-$125

If you’d like to learn more or would like to save your spot, please email me.
