I feel helpless as I watch some of the images of what is happening in Ukraine. It’s like watching an accident or more accurately watching a genocide happening . . . and I’m at a loss as to how I can help. 

And then it came to me. I know how to hold space. I know how to “dance my prayers” and connect with the Ukrainian (and the Russian people – as we need to hold space for them as well) and bear witness & open my heart to their pain . . . which ignites my own empathy and compassion . . . and offer them my love, support and prayers  . . .  Read more

Waking up yesterday morning with the news of Russia invading Ukraine, I felt so much sadness and empathy for the Ukrainian people.  My heart and prayers go out to them. 

As a first generation American of Polish parents who came over after World War II, this hits close to home. My Dad was a little boy when the German Army burned his village to the ground and they were taken to work camps in Austria . . .

“Every New Beginning comes from some other beginnings end.” – Seneca

I know for me lately, on a deep somatic level, I’m really learning to be more and more o.k. with whatever life brings.  Even the hard and challenging times, and difficult emotions that may arise (that I may sometimes judge as not being spiritual)… and as I’m learning to be more comfortable with all of it, I am able to see the gifts that are present in all of my experiences.  And more and more, I’m recognizing this isn’t a path about self improvement but a path of self acceptance  …   Read more

I feel inspired to hold space this Sunday to honor the Winter Solstice . . . the longest night of the year. . . and  honor the light that we hold . . . even in the darkness.

And in case you may be feeling like me in this moment, that you might not be holding much light (especially after this eclipse season) remember that even a tiny candle flame can be seen for over a mile in the dark.

Thank you for holding the light that you are during these challenging times on this planet!  Hope to see you on our virtual dance floor! …   Read more

Happy Taurus New Moon! . . . which occurred at 12 noon PDT today. New Moon is a time of new beginnings . . . and allowing whatever wants to come, to come; and whatever want to go, to go.

As I tune into the energy of this time right now, it feels like we’re in this “in between time” . . . as we navigate the next couple of months (and this year) of what it means to return to normal – if that’s even possible!  So much has changed during this time of Covid . . . and while this time has been hard in so many ways, and brought so much suffering; I know for me, there have also been unexpected gifts as well . . . and through it all, I am not the same.  We are not the same.  But maybe together, we can create a NEW normal . . . or even if we want to be normal!  …   Read more

It’s been 15 months since we last danced in person – and even though we’ve danced online – this definitely feels momentous!

“Your task is not to seek from love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” – Rumi

Well, if I can humbly expand upon what Rumi said, I feel our task is not to seek freedom, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within ourselves that keep us from truly being free . . . and that’s how I feel we create true freedom in the world …   Read more

As we move into Spring and the beginning of the Astrological year – with the Sun (and Venus) moving into Aries – we are moving into the “space in between” . . . and a time of transition.

Allowing whatever wants to go . . . to go . . . and allowing whatever wants to come . . . to come. No striving towards or pushing away . . . but simply being in the moment we find ourselves in. And it can be as simple as “breathing.” Breathing in . . . the new unknown places . . . breathing out . . . the places that are falling away and no longer serve us….
