DetailsGreetings Friends! Oh so much to share!! One of the many things I’ve been reflecting on while here in China is just how fulfilling each day is. I love the simplicity of waking up knowing I’m going to eat yummy Chinese food ALL day! 😀 And that I get to speak Chinese ALL day too!!…
DetailsGreetings Friends!! YAY!!! I LOVE being in China!!! I still am not sleeping past 4:30 a.m. yet (due to excitement and jet lag…and the fact that it’s almost the summer solstice and the sun rises here before 5:15 a.m.) But I enjoy getting up, greeting the day with qigong practice while the sparrows flutter and…

DetailsDo you love forests? Do you love to dance? Do you enjoy the mystery of alchemizing beauty, wisdom and wildness through our bodies? This is the heart of the practices of Qigong, Earthgym and Ritual! Learn a nourishing qigong warm-up and open your qi flow to activate your body’s wisdom. Using talisman tools of Nordic women ancestors—staffs and iron hammers—we discover fundamental movements/katas, developing rhythm, rapport, and repetition, and end by entering into the gateway and alchemy of ritual. All fitness levels are welcome. Create a ritual of celebration and transformation to ripple your blessings out across our Lands.

She is present. Are you? Am I? I enter her often;…

My pilgrimages are filled with awe, love,…

How do we open ourselves to the mysteries nature is constantly revealing, to the treasures the trees are patiently sharing and the majesty the Mountains are forever emanating? Why are we drawn back again and again to the wild? I find remembrance. I find life. I find my…
