In these moments of extreme fragmentation, polarization & violence, we need each other more than ever. The powers that be keep making it harder, seemingly impossible, to find care and connection, cornering us in cycles of exhaustion & helplessness. 

If we want to keep showing up to resist,
we must make spaces
to slow down, recover, and nurture ourselves. 
to hold and take care of ourselves and each other, 
to take risks together,
to play and explore how our body biographies relate,
in order to tune into our most authentic desires & dreams,
to practice communicating our NOs with love, our full body YESses and our MAYBEs
from a centered place. 

We are social animals. Our ability to feel the fire of life is directly related to the practice of remembering the interweaving of it all.  Our connection–to self, to the land, to others, to “The Other” as a mirror, is the antidote. 

It’s within relation that we thrive. With patience and grace we slowly but steadily can start dancing to the rhythm of the heart of the earth. We savor every moment of presence. Slowness is the medicine.

It’s our right and duty to connect with the sensual, playful, soft animals of our bodies, to remember why life is worth fighting for.
