New Year Greetings
On the road, somewhere in Upper State New York ©2024.
I am popping in to write to you from under a blue, blue sky, sending happy good wishes for the New Year — and for the new quarter-century! May all your transitions be smooth and landings soft.
This weekend I am on retreat, studying with a gentle Buddhist teacher who models an active cultivation of awareness, and who leads practices supportive of pathways toward peace. I look forward to sharing some of these with you. This is my intention for this new year: to fortify in community, in practice, and in art, spaces that cultivate the sacred qualities of wisdom and compassion, for love and life to flourish.
Within and without — may the channels be open and without obstacle, all good & vital energies flowing freely ♥️
P.S. Did you know I have a newsletter that accompanies this blog? I write mostly about yoga, art, and philosophy and new things to share. Newsletter subscribers read everything first…
MONDAY MEDITATION
The New Year schedule begins this week at Mosaic Yoga Studio. Join me for my first class of 2025 with a meditation session at 7:30 pm on Monday, January 6. Start the New Year on a good footing!
Inspired and informed by yoga, Buddhist, and other wisdom traditions, these supportive and playful sessions fortify our toolkit for self-care in community. We free-write a little, sit together around a flame, and chant a lot. Every session includes breath & movement practices to soothe the nervous system: simple, somatic, accessible, and portable. Don’t be shy! Bring friends! It’s really fun :-)
The class is hybrid, in-person and online. All levels of experience are welcome.
