Freedom Lives There

Willow Brook · Born to Remember

I have always wanted to go far away from shallow small talk

and the kind of love that will die

like the shriveled apples on the trees outside my window

I have always wanted to go deep inside

through every cracked door of my own heart

I want to storm through,

Knock down,

Set fire to the wooden frames

barring out what matters most.

Some doors inside me lead to scary places.

They are trapped doors

guarded by the drooling three-headed dog from Harry Potter

They lead to the basement of cob webs,

the junk drawer full of old receipts and spare change,

the corners of the closet

with sweaters that still smell like past lovers.

I’ve always wanted to go

to the places that scare me

Because I know

that freedom lives there.

If you, too, want to go far away from shallow small talk and into the beautiful and deep places with your loved ones this season, my beloved partner Manny’s conversation game Multitudes is for you! Multitudes is a conversational journey though reflection, mindfulness, improv, art and more! We played with my extended family last time we were together and it might have been the most connected to them I have ever felt. This game is especially wonderful for family time this season. You can learn more and order your deck at playmultitudes.com (I also highly recommend the couples edition if you’re coupled!) While Multitudes brings you to some deep places it is also full of levity and play! :) Enjoy!

Also, speaking of the freedom that lives in the places that scare us (like love)… I am so excited to announce that I am now offering 1:1 coaching focused on embodiment, sacred intimacy and relationships to support you in opening to love. My sessions are 50% off through the rest of the year and you can learn more and book a free 60 minute connection call with me to see how this deep exploration of creating and sustaining healthy relationships could serve you at willowbrook.love. Feel free to respond to this email with any questions you might have.
