I am so excited to offer two events this Spring that will support calm, balance, self exploration, nervous system health and a whole host of other benefits.
Also? It would just be great to share space with you in person:)

All in Mindfulness in Real Life
RESET: A Breathwork + Soundbath Ceremony coming in December!
Our time in this workshop will be spent connecting with our breath and creating space within. When we connect with our breath we can enjoy the peace outside the hamster wheel of our thoughts.
RENAISSANCE World Tour Review
She started the concert singing “I Love You” and then proved it for nearly three heart pounding, scream & tear inducing hours of sonic and visual EXCELLENCE, the likes of which have never been seen until Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour!!!!
Free to Express My Version of Blackness at Refuge Outdoor Festival 2023
This year’s Refuge Outdoor Festival was incredible and I’m truly looking forward to next year’s gathering! It was the diversity medicine I needed and I met people I’ll definitely be spending time with between retreats.
I grew up in a Black family surrounded by mostly White people and Christian culture (I know, how did I end up like this?!). It made it harder to access some of the deepest parts of who I am and it’s a privilege to have so much more space to do so now.
Join me for Breathwork & a Sound Bath at Refuge Festival
Going to Refuge Fest is outside my comfort zone and at the very same time I know I need it.
That’s life huh? Built so discomfort has the uncanny ability to help us grow.
I'll be at Refuge Festival!
I'm so excited to not only attend, after years of fangirling from the sidelines, but hold a Breathwork Ceremony at this BIPOC centered weekend camping event this August 18-20. We'll be reconnecting with nature and celebrating just 40 minutes east of Seattle in the Cascade Mountain foothills.
Acupuncture: Ancient Chinese Medicine addressing today's woes
Seasonal allergies, and their often severe related symptoms, used to keep me disoriented, indoors or reaching for allergy pills.
There's a better way! Around the arrival of each season I head to my community acupuncture clinic. They know just what to do and better yet, it's affordable, peaceful and most importantly: effective!
Centered in the City Podcast Episode 151: Plant Medicine, Spirituality and Ancestral Healing with Heather Adams
I did an episode with my longtime fellow meditation teacher Wade Brill on her “Centered in the City” Podcast, check it out! We talk about plant medicine, ancestral healing and spirituality.
Start Loving Yourself, like, starting NOW!
You're allowed to love yourself NOW, there is no "perfect" in this world!!
I dare you to let those unhelpful/untrue negative voices fade. Drop 'em, you won't descend into chaos without them, I promise.
4 Earth Friendly Products I Use On My Quest To Respect The Planet
Turns out Environmental Maturity can be quite luxurious...
I wanted to share four brands I'm really feeling that make things just a bit easier to do my part. A few of them have even caused improvements in my physical health. It may seem like a drop in the bucket but drops add up and these efforts have shifted my overall values around sustainability (can't EVEN with fast fashion anymore) and ideas around gratitude. We need the Earth to live, how we treat it and engage with it can reveal so much.
How to Get Through a Bad Trip (and maybe prevent one in the first place)
Don’t white knuckle your way through a bad trip by letting the mind just spin out and fill you with dread. Read below for tips on how to weather the storm of a bad trip (and maybe even prevent one in the first place).
Pill Poppin' with Intention
The longest story short: I’m seeing a naturopath to restore balance and generate health in my body and she’s got me on hella supplements. How can I go on this journey without feeling overwhelmed or missing the signs that I’m actually getting better?
Happy Loving Day!!!
I’m the Black half of an interracial couple and I have a LOT of feels about it.
Maybe other Black folks in interracial partnerships can understand this but somewhere, deep inside, I experience feelings of guilt because my partner is White….
How To Dancewalk
I started Dancewalking in 2009 as a self-dare. I dared myself to show no restraint, to let my body move when my favorite songs came on during my park walks in San Diego. Nobody told me to dare myself so why would I inflict what seemed like a cruel sorority hazing game on myself?
Moon Reading: New Moon in Capricorn
Happy New Moon in Capricorn and Happy New Year (Gregorian calendar style)!! I wonder if the calendar making folks knew what they were doing when they drew up plans to start the calendar year in the sign of Capricorn, the eldest Earth sign with a trademark organized, focused, can-do energy. If grinding is the only thing on your mind tho, you might miss out on some of the other powerful influences of this time. Read Below for more New Moon insight.
I Finally Made Fire Cider!
Ancient, Ancestral, Affordable, Universal Healthcare right here. I've been seeing Fire Cider pop up here and there, a sure sign to pay attention and lean in.
Land Acknowledgement to the Coast Salish Tribes
Today I offer deep gratitude and acknowledge the land of the Coast Salish tribes, including the Duwamish and Muckleshoot tribes, who’s ancestral lands I live on, work on, hold ceremony, am held by, cultivate, enjoy and today call Burien. Ajo & Ase

Throwback to my first meditation at MNDFL circa 2015 in West Village NYC
BIPOC Weekend Meditation is BACK!
BIPOC Weekend Meditation is BACK!! Every Saturday at 10am PST on Zoom (and it’s FREE!)
Moon Reading: New Moon in Virgo
Happy New Moon in Virgo! This down-to-Earth sign couldn’t come at a better time, we can all certainly use a surge of grounding, can-do energy. The combination of planetary alignments and retrogrades above our head promises passion and prowess in planning our futures, heads up! Shift the gaze from misery to hope and your compass will return.
