Are you really “at home” when you are home?

Recently I had the good fortune to spend a week near the Boundary Waters with my family. We could see the Milky Way at night and I saw shooting stars for the first time in years. Every morning we began our day with a quick plunge into the lake – Read more…

The quest & why I put flowers in my hair

I love this picture of me from one of my first dance recitals. My first two years of dance, ages 4-5, were at the Temple of the Wings in Berkeley California. We performed in the school’s courtyard surrounded by tall Greek pillars. I can hardly believe that building is real. Read more…

What stories guide you?

Almost every Sunday morning my daughter groans and asks us, again, “Why are we going to church?” Sometimes we skip church and attend an indigenous-led water ceremony by the Mississippi. Then the question is “Why do we have to go to the river?” My daughter is questioning like kids do, Read more…

2019 in Pictures

Healing. Wisdom. Depth. Simplicity. Presence. Trust. These are the words that emerged most frequently in my work over this part year. They do a good job describing what happens in the communities that practice qigong and dance with me. I had fun putting together a collection of pictures to tell Read more…

Endurance and Sovereignty

Hello you beautiful soul, Last week I wrote about how dancing keeps me from losing my head, returning me to a state of hope and abundance even in the context of loss and uncertainty. But I have to say I’m interested in more than stress relief. After all, many of Read more…

Abundance and Hope

It’s certainly feeling a lot like November. After a long, gorgeous autumn the trees have been dropping their leaves and we have turned back our clocks. I know many in Minnesota are still scurrying around outside to finish preparing their yards for winter. I hope that you are also finding Read more…

On going to a dark place without fear

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to maintain strength and courage. I write on this a lot because it doesn’t cease to be a daily practice!

Today I’m soaking in a student’s feedback that through dancing she gained confidence to “go to a [dark] place without fear.” This is the super power we all need right now!
