It is not easy to choose to live wide open
To wear your heart on your sleeve
Share your truest desires
Show up, and try something new

It is not easy to put yourself out there
To take a risk
To go after it
To see what will unfold form your choices

It is not easy

But you do it
Time and time again you show up
Unsure, legs shaky
Never fully ready

You jump in
Because you know you can not live closed up
You know you have to try to see what could be
You know to risk means to live

When you cocoon yourself in
You shut out the possibility
Close yourself off from opportunity
Hide your light that needs to shine

If you never risk you never know

Along the way, there will be bumps in the road
Moments of total failure and perceived embarrassment
Your heart will sink, tears will fall, you will be crushed
But you will still be able to move on

You will lean on your loved ones
Allow the hurt to wash over you
Trust the process
And begin again

You will not allow a speed bump to steer you off course

Continue on you do
And the magic finds you
Your dreams unfold
And when you least expect it you are shining brilliantly

This is wh you show up time and time again
This is why you risk vulnerability
This is why you lean in, speak your truth, ask for help
This is why you never give up

The course may change
The journey may seem trying
But along the way, the pieces fall together
The true nature of your dream reveals itself to you

Let’s Gather Together

I invite you to join me in this virtual circle. Where you can show up exactly as you are. Yes, your hair can be a mess (mine always is). Yes, you can be in your pj’s and even snuggled up in your bed. Yes, you can sign up the moment before class begins.

What matters most is you knowing that you aren’t alone. There is a community just waiting to sit with you. No prior experience in anything is needed to attend any of these virtual gatherings. Arrive as you are.

Check out the upcoming classes below to see what is coming up and click on a particular event to register. Note that all times are in EST and all classes take place on Zoom.

In Write Together you will be surrounded by fellow word lovers and guided through writing practice. You do not have to call yourself a writer to join in. The act of putting words down on the page is what matters most.

At Qigong Tara will lead us through breath and movement coming together to create a moving meditation. Qigong merges the body and the environment to create energetic balance and wellbeing. Its goal is to continually bring the body into a state of harmony. Classes are on Wednesday and Friday.

Then finish off the week with Art Journaling. Where we gather together in community to create alongside one another. I will provide prompts to get you going and you will have the opportunity to create based on the supplies you have on hand. You do not need to call yourself an artist to join in.
