Heal Within The Stone Hearth of Your Relationship for Fire and Light

You.

Me.

What do we know about supporting long term relationships to thrive, to flourish...

Embody and Experience Your Inner Child for Deep Healing

I have been deeply grieving the last several weeks and letting my body show me how to forgive myself and others, how to heal, and how to love.

in addition to acknowledging National Day of Mourning and learning deeper around the myths and erasure of indigenous people,

I found I could barely lean into gratitude without a spring of grief upwelling right next to it.

When I felt the trauma of Trump begin to soften in my body, I couldn't ignore what came next

First.

I want to share with you that I'm offering a live, embodied, guided practice around Trump trauma and anchoring into resilience on Thursday, December 10 from 5 - 6 pm online via Zoom for $22 and $11 for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+.

I didn't want to.

This is how COVID-19 stress is affecting my relationship. How are you doing in yours?

I'm not proud of it.

In fact I have some shame....

A few days ago I unceremoniously turned my phone on airplane mode for five or so hours.

A part of me knew it would hurt my partner.

  • Biology…and more
