Oh no, inflation…

Hello dear community, How do we move into new ways of creating exchanges in an insanely inflated economy? Money is still necessary for participation in the world as it is, and while there is a slow but steady movement away from money as our only currency, we have a long way to go…hopefully you know I am deeply committed to service regardless of your ability to pay. To take it further, I encourage you to

Tiny Habits: Got NOTHING?

Got NOTHING? Do you spend a few minutes a day* intentionally doing nothing? I do not mean scrolling or listening to music, I do not mean driving or hiking, or meditating or praying or writing checklists in your head.

In my practice I am seeing so many beautiful, scary, and tender layers

Tiny Habits: A+A=P

The Return of Tiny Habits Ahhh, the equation…A+A=PYes. Action plus awareness equals practice… practices are, well, tiny habits… My suggestions for Tiny Habits usually take 30-60 seconds though they can always be extended or returned to. As the season begins to turn, the portal to a re-turn to, or deepening of, PRACTICE opens… what are you doing, every day, to consciously bring ceremony, ritual, presence to your life?
