Hi friends, I hope you’re closing 2023 slow and well despite the thick grief many of us are experiencing globally right now ~
I’m guiding a full moon soft flow for our last class of 2023 alongside the full moon in Cancer, on Tuesday at 6pm pacific time. Join me for this gentle yoga and meditation to prepare for wintering, metabolize emotions accumulated this year– especially over the last 75 days, and reconnect with your body, all while moving at the pace of nature. I’ll be reading poems that have helped open my restful dreamscape recently and I hope help to open yours too. Tap here to reserve your space
*All new and full moon classes are free for portal member’s to join (scroll to the end of this letter for the sign up code) and a recording of the class will be uploaded to the library as well.

Forecast for the Full Moon in Cancer – The moon will ripen to full in her watery home of Cancer on December 26th, bearing a desperate need for deep processing and emotional release. This full moon is a call to do away with apathy, let yourself be broken open, and hold space for intuition and truth.
We’ve stepped through the threshold of the darkest day of winter solstice and begin to find ease in the liminal space between dormancy and persistence. The shadow from which we are slowly emerging is the greatest teacher on the hidden potential of the unknown.
Cancer’s idealistic nature is balanced by the realism of Capricorn, and as a tidal wave of anticolonial discourse washes through the globe we’re called to be both imaginative and grounded with the gifts we bring to this extraordinary moment.
Enter your dreamspace and see the innumerable possibilities of what our society looks like free from the grasp of capitalism and colonialism– where all beings are free from oppression and violence. Create a moving picture so visceral and calming to your nervous system that it begs to come through you into the tangible world. Continue demanding a ceasefire and an end to the occupation in Palestine and all exploited territories. Keep divesting, educating and regulating yourself. Reflect on which meaningful step to take next.
This full moon is in the ruler of our home, family, relationships, and sense of belonging, and guides us to consider the Yoga of relationships and how to live in better community with each other, healing our epigenetic wounds in the process. Use this full moon and the start of wintering season to focus on refinement while keeping the equanimous pace of nature that offers no instant gratification on the path to liberation and back to Self. The light at the end of the tunnel shines brighter going forward ~
Incase you missed it, I recently added slow & grounded to the yoga portal.
The is a 25 min yoga practice to call your spirit home and is done entirely on the floor. You can find it in the ‘newest class’ or ‘chill & restorative’ section of the library.
I hope these offerings support your constant unfurling.
