Mothering

“We are born of love; Love is our mother.” – Rumi This past year has been rich with opportunities for us to learn what it means to mother. The word mother comes from the Latin word mater, which is also where the word matter comes from. To mother is to give and sustain life. It is to…

I thank You God for most this amazing day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth day of life and of…

"And you? When will you being that long journey into yourself?” - Rumi Here we are, one month into 2021 - ready for new beginnings, leaning towards hope, and desperate for our world to heal. I’m sure I am not alone when I say that this year so far has been exhausting. I often find…

Dear Friends, "You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.” - Rumi Just because our hearts break does not mean they are meant to close down. The breaking is what cracks us open. Loving is not always easy. It requires a capacity to feel a whole range of feelings and not shut down as…

Dear friends, In this time of unpredictability, confusion, and grief, let’s remember what we do have mastery over: our inner realm. Within you is a space that is untethered, impenetrable, unshakeable, and unbounded. Just like a hole deep within the earth, there is space inside you that can only be found when you dig deep.…

“The wound is the place where the light enters you” Rumi One of the things that inspires me most about yoga postures are that they are a powerful metaphor for life. Some poses elicit feelings of joy, comfort, and ease while others can bring up frustration, fear, and anxiety. The poses themselves are neutral but…
