Creative Dream Excursion Part 4: Abundance
FIELD TRIP! We’re going through Andrea Schroeder’s Free Creative Dreaming Starter Kit. (I don’t get anything for sharing this with you. I just think it’s awesome.) We’ve covered: body stuff, relationships, and purpose. This week? Abundance. This is what came up in my journal after a guided meditation. The Room (Okay, Dungeon) of my Abundance [...]
Creative Dream Excursion Part 3: Purpose
We’re going on a field trip! Through Andrea Schroeder’s Free Creative Dreaming Starter Kit. (I don’t get anything for sharing this with you. I just think it’s awesome.)

Creative Dream Excursion Part 2: Relationships

Creative Dream Excursion Part 1: Body
While I’m on sabbatical/maternity leave, I get two “work days” of four hours each in any given week. And even though I know the importance of spending time to get close to my inner self, there’s always the temptation to skimp on quality time in my inner world. And while I often make up my [...]
Show and Tell: Force Fields!

Talking with Shivanauts: Simone Seol of the House of HipGnosis
The second in our series of Interviews with Shivanauts is the incomparable Simone Seol (and sidekick Ollie) of the House of HipGnosis. We discuss life transitions, yoga nidra, how everything is hip gnosis, and why a “regular” Shiva Nata practice is overrated. It’s Simone! Simone! We got to meet at The Great Ducking Out Rally [...]
Talking with Shivanauts: Beth Freeman of Fan the Ember
A new thing! I’m inviting Shivanauts to the Mad Castle for drinks, dinner and conversation. With no drinks or dinner. But the conversation is delicious. When I had the idea, I knew I wanted Beth from Fan the Ember, a Shiva Nata and Yoga teacher and astonishingly kind and insightful person, to be the first [...]
Rally! The Pictorial Tour
I am on Rally! Rally is this magic thing that happens at the Playground Caboose!! This is the fifth Rally I’ve been to (Rally!), and the seventh multiple-day event at the Playground. You’d think it’d be old hat by now, but it’s still very powerful and this time it’s very hard. This is the superficial, [...]
Walking Out of Yoga Class
A little bit of a love letter to yoga, a little bit about my relationship to my body, a little bit about the concept of not participating in situations that harm you. All awesome, clearly. YOGA! You probably know that I am head-over-heels in love with yoga. I remember the first time I tried an [...]
