Hello Sweet Humans,
It’s me again. I’ve been writing more often than usual. Partly because I’m inspired to share this offering, and partly because the world feels heavy to witness alone. Naming the weight we each carry in some way feels coherent. Uncertainty, fear, disconnection, discomfort, grief…they ripple through us all. It’s part of the human condition. If things feel hard, remember, there’s nothing wrong with you.
Humaning is hard. Being inside the overwhelm and the stuck is hard. And in turning toward what feels hard together, we begin to rehumanize what feels worn down: our ability to choose, connection, joy, vitality. There are ways of relating to what feels hard that can offer support, clarity, and orientation inside the hard. We can practice reclaiming that space in-between, between stimulus and response.
This Friday, September 26th, from 4:30-8p at The Living Room at Full Circle in Gardiner NY, we will gather for the first session of our Relationally Rooted workshop series. There is space for you to join us . Whether you drop in for one session or move through the full series.
Our first session is all about Turning Towards what is hard without abandoning yourself. We’ll play with presence and craft practices to carry you long beyond our time together.
If you want to plan ahead, here’s the rest of the series:
Boundaries and Edges on Friday October 24
Rupture and Repair on Friday November 21

With warmth,

PS: I am still collecting names of those interested in a future virtual series. Simply reply to this email if you’d like me to keep you in the loop.
And if you haven’t yet listened to my recent conversation on The Going Inside podcast, I invite you to. While it’s geared a bit toward therapists, it’s meaningful for all. We talk about how grief itself can offer a gentle portal into deep healing. You can listen here.
