We all carry shadow elements – parts of ourselves that are hidden, disowned or have been frozen in time. These parts can carry great energetic cost to us, siphoning our vitality and bringing dis-ease to our sense of well-being. These are shadow elements because we are often either unaware of their existence, or if we… (more)

Commitment can trigger notions of forever, be it from the “till-death-do-us-part” variety or through feelings of imprisonment. Lonny Jarrett offers a different framework for the frightening word. He writes, “Commitment is the ability to be 100% present in any given situation.” Commitment allows you to be fully invested in the moment regardless of whether you… (more)

People do not like to admit they are afraid. Fear is not an attractive emotion. It does not inspire strength. Suppression at the level of the kidneys appears as withholding, surmised by the idea, “Rather than admit what I’m afraid of, I’ll pretend it is not real by saying nothing.” You know the mysterious type… (more)

Fall is here and the great turn within has come with it. The time for a little more rest and slower breaths is upon us. It is a societal norm for you to put your health and well-being as a last priority on a long list of responsibilities. This eventually catches up with you and… (more)

We haven’t gathered for in-person breathwork in nearly 3 years. I have missed connecting with you there. The breathwork events are my way of giving back to and building community. Community is a pillar of life. Community holds you through the hard times and celebrates you during the good times. Community is more than just… (more)

I have seen so many people’s hearts open and bodies heal when they gather in community. When members of a group are seen, heard and embraced for all that they are, miracles happen on an individual and collective level. I have experienced people come into meditation or breathwork events who are emotionally downtrodden, energetically drained,… (more)
