more humanity please.

“Being fully human means honoring both these truths —immanence, or fully engaging with our humanness, and transcendence, or liberation— equally. If we try to deny our vulnerability, we lose touch with our heart; if we fail to realize our indestructibility, we lose access to enlightened mind. To be fully human means standing willingly and consciously in both dimensions. This makes human existence an extremely interesting crossroads." - John Welwood*

In our brief interactions before and after zoom classes, I've noticed the development of a mutual appreciation for everyone's realness and rawness.  An increased sense of honesty and truthfulness have emerged and people are less willing to hide their current state of being. My hope is that you can fully express your humanness through movement, breath, stillness and quietude, while at the same time honor the enlightened quality of your mind and heart.  I'm so grateful to be able to share our collective grief, outrage and sometimes hopefulness from week to week.  

I believe that when we are rooted in our bodies, we are rooted to the Earth. When we are rooted to the Earth, we take responsibility for protecting all of it's inhabitants.  We hold those accountable who attempt to dehumanize, degrade and decimate the preciousness of life.
