More will be revealed. That’s the phrase I hear when I reflect on the week I spent in the Sandia mountains with 40 strangers of like heart. There was laughter, plenty tears, healing, high energy and kind tending. Much gratitude to @davidelliott10 for his work and guidance. I look forward to offering breathwork to community for the joy and healing needed. And I carry these hearts with me. #morewillberevealed #breathwork #meditation #touchtheearth #slowdharma #payattention Repost @davidelliott10 ・・・ I’m a little sad as we say goodbye today to this amazing group of 💜 healers. Very little resistance, so much encouragement, play, talent and laughter...how can I call this work?! So much continued gratitude for my wife @laraelliott1 my sister and all she does for everyone @julie12brinkley my great support system and talented teachers helping me get this work out in the world @danihering @erintelford__ @spiritandceremony and to @melodee_solomon for her support and wonderful photos!🙏💙🙏

Been thinking about what home means for me lately. Having spent so little time at my actual home this year. After a lovely time with friends and family a month or so ago, it was affirmed that I find home in my relationships. Home is an afternoon on the Highline walking and sharing with a friend, midweek brunch in brooklyn, celebrating Virgo b’earthdays with my mom & aunt, laughing poolside with friends... all of that and more. I’m also considering how I’m home to all that I am and want to be. Or not. Have others considered their relationship with me home? How can I welcome all of me. And you? #payattention #virgocontemplations #touchtheearth #kitchenconversations #home #slowdharma

Summertime and the livin’ is easy. #dharmalife #touchtheearth #slowdharma

Thank you, Ms. Morrison, for writing about us, for us. I felt seen as a young black girl in ways I didn’t know I was missing. Your fierce grace was a force to witness. Rest well. #restinpower #ancestors #readingisfundamental #blackwomanmagic

Reclamation. After nearly a decade of serving a Dharma community and almost two years after a move across the country, my formal meditation practice is beginning to feel like it’s mine. It isn’t associated with work or obligation to others, it’s not performative. It’s a refuge, solitary, healing, all-over-the-place and it’s for me. I’m so thankful that the practice is always there and that I keep coming back. #thankbuddha Swipe left and you’ll see I’m humbled to be one among many wonderful teachers who’ve contributed to the @liberatemeditation app. I offer a guided meditation called "Body Confidence". Liberate is a meditation app dedicated to empowering Black, Indigenous, and People of Color on their path of finding inner peace. Please give it a listen on the Liberate iPhone/Android app. You can download it here: https://liberatemeditation.com/ #reclaimingmytime #slowdharma #touchtheearth #ordinarymagic #meditation #dharma

Every morning while we’re in Tucson, Brisco and I walk what I call the Golden River because in the spring it’s covered in bright yellow flowers from the palo verde trees (my favorite tree), and now the river is a dark gold-bronze color. It’s my morning contemplation time; just me, Brisco, the mountains, the desert. And I love seeing him free and unbothered offleash (swipe left). #ordinarymagic #desertlife🌵 #slowdharma #touchtheearth

Sometimes I find myself in a breathless daze of what-ifs and will-it-always-be-this-ways and am-i-doing-this-rights and realize I’m bracing for the next thing to fall/breakthrough/breakdown. That makes for atrophy. In this heart. The suppleness falls away, the air is dry and cracks form. And I realize that it’s part of This Life lesson to fall into the soft places, to breathe, to cry, to notice the magic of the sun and shadows on the kitchen floor. How this too shall pass. How wool keeps me warm on cold desert morning walks. And I fall wearily into my own budding tenderness. And try/breathe/be again. One moment at a time. Quote by Jenny Holzer. #touchtheearth #slowdharma #diningroomthoughts #everydaymagic #justbreathe #onedayatatime

Worth the price of admission. #slowdharma #touchtheearth #desertlife #sunsets #nofilter

Sending this out to all my seasonally affected folks, to those who melt in the cold winter rain, to those buried in layers of wool and cotton, to those whose melanin carries the equator sun. Do you think there is anywhere, in any language, / a word billowing enough / for the pleasure / that fills you, / as the sun / reaches out, / as it warms you —#maryoliver #touchtheearth #slowdharma #sunmagic #icanseeclearlynow #therainisgone #morningview #nofilter

Winter hit me like a ton of bricks this month. Even with these mild desert days. So more puzzles (this is gonna be a long one), less gym, earlier to bed and later to rise, fires in the fireplace, baking, good books and fresh ginger-turmeric-lemon-honey tea....going in. I’m so thankful I listen to my body and Mama Earth on how to live easefully thru the seasons. I’m thankful I no longer listen to capitalist ways of being that tell me I have to be constantly productive to be of worth. I’m also thankful for the return of light and the beauty of the winter. Happy winter solstice, y’all ❄️ #touchtheearth #slowdharma #puzzles #hibernationseason #restasresistance
