For me, freedom is what I’m practicing every time I sit down to meditate. Each and every time I don’t follow my thinking (which is tethered to conditioned beliefs) but return my attention to this moment now; to perceive from a new place within myself. That is freedom.
I am practicing freedom when I make the conscious choice to stand up in my discomfort, turn away from my habitual response, and find a new way of being in relationship to life.
I am practicing freedom when I don’t choose from who I “should” be but when I choose from who I wish to be; when I stay curious about what what I’m telling myself is possible versus what is actually possible.
I am practicing freedom when I feel the pull to uphold external systems, internally and when I, instead, go my own way.
And like any practice, it is only through repetition, over and over again; the looping back around that each and every time creates a bit more freedom.
How do you practice freedom?
With Love,

My Annual Wellness Retreat will be October 26-29 at the beautiful Heartstone Lodge, nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Maury River in Buena Vista, Virginia.
All of the private rooms, shared studios, and shared cabins are sold out! There are a couple of sweet dorm bed nooks in the loft of the lodge, a couple of BYO tent / camper van spots, AND -- a new option(!!) -- a handful of "Day Retreat" spots left.
The Day Retreat is an option to stay off-site but to join us for all meals, daily retreat content, and enjoyment of the incredible land at Heartstone. You are in charge of securing your own accommodations (there are many Airbnbs in the area as well as some great hotel options in Lexington).
If you aren't interested in any of those options but would like to join my waitlist in case something opens up, please complete this form.
