I am truly honored to be doing the work that I am. I wouldn’t be able to do it, without you saying yes... to wanting to do the work.
Grateful for the sacred yes’s we are all finding between one another: to take a moment.
To heal. To pause. To listen. To allow self to feel. To express. To rest. To give. To receive.
In community.
This past weekend was one of our journeys That I will never forget
Etched into my spine I feel the experience For me to return to Again and again
My own experience Bringing me to even more wisdom About this somatic channeling gift That Hashem (”the name” / spirit) Has gifted me All so I can serve
Purposeful, I feel. Honored and in awe I am. Grateful, that I listened to my body As she led me to create these journeys.
May it be in merit to my teachers And for the highest good for all.

all in honor: for community to grieve.
a willow, swirling between worlds. i was asked to create a piece of art to live inside a traveling Grief Tent: a safe space, held in community, for people to feel through their hearts together, in honor of who and what has been lost.
to create a piece without time, between spaces where the willow can swirl between worlds : for connection
created and held by Randi from Realness Rising, in collaboration with Jules from Jules In Space.
witch, if you know, you get how special this space will be.
(new website to be FULLY created after this festival rush! so honored)
if you don’t know this home away from home for many of us, I highly suggest you find your way over to Thyme Travelers.
The land, the shop, the intention of the space: it’s special.
Allie, the owner, is one of my pillar sisters here in the east. we collaborate with Gina and Jayme to produce our Wheel of the Year dances through Ancestral Rhythms (next one is the Litha Dance, summer solstice, COME JOIN), weave through sister circles and The Wholly School, and hold each other in our own friendship.
I can give you an excuse to some be in the space: teach Kundalini there one every other Tuesday evenings, too (don’t you worry - a link about it is listed below!)
to be asked to be part of this rebrand as Allie steps into sole ownership of the shop is simply an honor. i am beyond excited for Allie in her transition into sole owner.
if you wish to support the rebrand, both digitally and in the shop, find your way to the GoFundMe.
and if you wish to talk design work with me, reach out and we’ll begin.
come find your way to one of these. everything lives at www.thiswhollylife.com, and the full list is always on the events page.
