Rhythmic Bloom

Reflections from the Lounge ✨

This week has been one for the darkness, the shadows. 

As I’ve been preparing for this December Solstice on 12.21, a sense of tenderness is present, and maybe you’re feeling it too. Whether that means hiding away or getting caught up in battles that aren’t really ours to fight.  

For our inner warrior, this is a moment to take a full inhale, reflect on reality, and find stillness after releasing a deep sigh, to notice the opportunities around us and carefully choose the soil where those equinox seeds will take root and grow strong.

Do you have any rituals that balance the light and dark during this transition? Let me know 👇🏾

“We’re becoming more isolated as people.”

They say books have a way of finding you when you’re ready for them, and this one sat on my shelf for months. I finally picked it up last week, and I couldn’t put it down.  

Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Talents is packed with so much richness about belief systems, faith during hardship, and the power of community. It shows us that survival isn’t just about individual strength, it’s about leaning on others, sharing resources, and building something sustainable together.

What if we created more spaces that embody these values? Equitable, collaborative spaces that heal, inspire, and even make room for play.  

Have you read *Parable of the Talents*? Let’s talk about it. What stood out to you the most? 🌱✨  

Holding space this week ❤️

Friends, colleagues, family, people…our Western community still needs our support. Many of them have literally lost everything and our Florida friends are bracing for another surge later this week.

I am donating 50% of proceeds to a local non profit on the ground in Western NC from this week’s Artful Embodiment yoga class.

Drop in with the 🔗in bio and spend 75 mins investing in yourself and supporting our neighbors✨

As summer winds down here in the northern hemisphere, I’m embracing the excitement for autumn 🍂

It’s not just my favorite season because I’m an autumn baby, but I love the transformation of nature, cooler weather, and more pleasurable hikes.

This time of year is about gathering, quieting down, and shifting into a new rhythm.

Are you ready to welcome autumn’s energy of release?
