In this guided meditation, we explore an elemental balancing practice for anxiety management and nervous system regulation. Reflecting on personal experiences with balancing extreme temperatures and anxiety, I share a visualization and sound meditation that has been deeply supportive in my own practice. I hope it will be useful in your own practice as well!

Today’s poetic meditation is inspired by this invitation to remember our place in the family of things, to maintain a mindful awareness of our relationship with nature, to re-weave ourselves into the animate earth around us. Join me for this 6-minute, nature-inspired meditation.

Today’s episode is the meditation offered at this year's Summer Solstice inspired by the poem An Inn for the Coven by Gabrielle Calvocoressi.

No discussion, no distraction - just the meditation for your daily practice.

Midsummer and the temps are hot… literally and figuratively. As a way to explore the feelings that come with rising temperatures, in today’s class I share two powerful poems.

We hear of our loves, our hurts, and our divinity in these poems; all different and all the same and all inside.

Join me for today’s discussion and guided meditation.

Today, as the final installment in our Edges series, I am joined by writer, poet, memoirist, teacher, yogi, activist, and mother - Nadia Colburn.

We talk of generative, supportive action and of course we explore mindful writing practices to support ourselves in times of change. Grab your journal and join us!

Today, I am talking with artist, edge-walker, and dear friend Perri Lynch Howard about her experiences in a variety of ecotonal landscapes.

In this episode, Perri shares three of her unique, ecotonal field recordings with us as a way to explore the edges both within and without.

At the end, there is a guided meditation experience of the Vashon Island soundscape as an opportunity for you to explore your own relationship with edges.

Last week, we began a new meditation series devoted to exploring the edges - both in the natural world as well as our internal landscape - and today’s interview and meditation practice do exactly that.

In today’s episode, Marisela and I talk about the edges and the intersections of contemplative practices, community care and social justice.

At the end, Marisela guides a beautiful meditation inviting us to explore and soften around our internal edges.

Ecotones do not simply represent a boundary or an edge; the concept of an ecotone assumes the existence of active interaction between two or more ecosystems with properties that do not exist in either of the adjacent ecosystems.

Edges, ecotones and third spaces are places of life, energy & growth; they are places of speciation - of creation and evolution.
