We are living through a poly crisis - a time when old
systems and structures are collapsing and new ones are emerging.
But this shift isn’t just happening “out there”, it’s alive
inside of each and every one of us as we transform old stories
into new possibilities. How we show up in this moment will
determine who we are as a community and as a nation.
So often our immediate reflex in the face of that which we cannot
control collectively is to try and control it personally by
perfecting and purifying our individual lives: like if we just
worked better or lived cleaner, we’d be able to arrive in a
better place. But to bring about less suffering and more
thriving, we must accept complexity and imperfection as the
natural basis of our lives. We are imperfect, imprinted by an
unbearable past and unequal systems of power that are shaping our
present reality. It does not matter how direct or indirect our
engagement; we are embedded in it nonetheless.
We are compromised. No amount of perfection, proving or control
can purify us of the imprints of dominant culture on our
individual and collective bodies.The good news is that if we can
meet this reality with acceptance - not something to be denied or
avoided - than we can learn to compost it into something
different. Growth is only possible if we are willing to be with
what is - the truth of who we are and who we are to one another.
From there anything is possible.
Join me for a season of digging deep, growing up and getting
whole.

Join us for an embodied journey into the stories that shape us.
From ancient mythologies to the narratives of dominant culture,
our bodies have been inscribed with tales of who we should be,
how we should move, and what we should believe. In this workshop,
we’ll move, breathe, and inquire together to uncover the myths
we’ve inherited, notice how they live in our flesh, and practice
loosening their hold. Through ritual and embodied play, we’ll
compost the stories that confine us and begin to imagine and
embody new myths of liberation. Come curious, come tender, come
ready to move into the possibility of freedom. Through dynamic
movement, radical inquiry and creative engagement we will:
* Unlearn limiting beliefs, inherited stories, and toxic patterns
of being and doing.
* Explore transformative practices that move energy, disrupt
patterns, and metabolize trauma.
* Build greater capacity and resilience for the discomfort of
change and the uncertainty of (im)possible futures.
* Cultivate an everyday practice of collective care that ensures
all of us can be well.
* Reimagine ways of being, doing, surviving, and thriving
together.
Our journey is set at the Edge of the Earth — Esalen Institute
has a rich history serving as both sanctuary and crucible for
evolving the consciousness of activists, leaders, and healers.
Located on the ancestral lands of the Esselen people. Esalen is
renowned not just for it’s offerings, but for it’s profound and
natural beauty on the cliffs of the pacific coast where three
water sources converge: a fresh-water spring (Porter Springs),
mineral hot springs, and the Pacific Ocean. I have been many
times and can testify: it is a powerful portal for healing and
transformation.
