It's been just about a year since we made our official move to Cleveland, and it feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago. Though it took a while to settle in, I have found small and lovely pockets of tranquility here, and am content knowing that this is my path for now. The move was always about being closer to family and having space for our little one, but I've also found an amazing synergy here with all of my...
Well, it’s certainly been an interesting nine months since I kicked off the Beginner’s Qi Gong class. Back in January and February, we had a little group going every Friday morning, and we practiced and cultivated qi together! I truly looked forward to it, and it definitely shifted something in my own practice, as it strengthened my desire to share the practice with others. The very last NYC subway ride I took was on my way to teach a Qi...
I'm so thrilled to finally share that I'm teaching a Beginner's Mind Qi Gong class, (for adults), every Friday in NYC. It has been a journey to get here, and having a few classes under my belt now, it's as though this was always meant to be my path. Whether I remain teaching at this space for years to come, or whether I move on at some point and teach elsewhere, it feels like just the beginning of this particular...
Today, I was invited into my daughter's kindergarten class to share some Qi Gong. It was my first time working with kids in this way, so I had no idea how it would go. My goal was simply to introduce them to some basic concepts, and hope that they stayed engaged for a bit of it. As it turned out, they blew me away, beyond all expectations! We began by sitting in a circle, around a blanket that I had...
Way back in college, I had a fantastic and inspiring teacher of Eastern Religions, Rick Jarow, who introduced me to Taoism. I was transfixed by the Tao Te Ching, Chuang Tzu, and the I Ching. Taoist concepts just made sense to me- they clicked in a way nothing had before. So for many years, I studied it, mostly privately, consulting books on taoism on a fairly regular basis, for guidance in my daily life. I'd learn later, that I was...
Hi all!! Though I've been absent from this blog for a bit, I have been working hard, writing many first drafts for children's books, and greasing the creative wheels of my brain. It was a fantastic summer of much travel, and much meditation and reflective thinking on how to focus my creative expression. Early on in the summer, during a child-free trip to the beach, I found myself with a rare stretch of free time. I collected shells, took a...
