INSIDE OUT: RECIPROCITY
One must regenerate to generate.
Employing reciprocity between ourselves and the world can be a challenge.
Some people meditate to maintain daily equilibrium between a fast and furious life and the soul. Others keep going at a slower pace, allowing for a more seamless relationship between life’s responsibilities and the inner sanctuary. And there is the Full Speed Ahead versus Up On Blocks practice where one operates a packed calendar, then must STOP, refuel, and return to high speed living. The last one is "Me!" Robin Wall Kimmerer, a botanist and citizen of the Potawatomi Nation, tunes inward through lenses that shed light on the connection between personal energy and all beings in nature.

FALL 2018 | WINTER 2019 WORKSHOPS
I love weaving together a supportive community in WORKSHOPS. There is an exciting intensity when a group of strangers are all seeking personal knowledge and artistic instruction. Within this experience vulnerability and “aHa!” moments are reciprocated throughout each workshop.
