Trust me… I spend a lot of time thinking about the necessity of my work in our current context. I question the need and if it’s trivial or even frivolous.
Thankfully I have some good people in my circles who pull me back from that.
In particular, Linda Soto (whom many of you know), said something during one of my most recent moments of despair that has stuck with me and seems the clearest YES to my work:
What I do (and what she does) is TRIAGE.
Life is really hard right now, and if you’re paying attention at all (and really, that is the most basic thing we should all be doing at this point), you’re probably often feeling really beat up. Injured. Traumatized.
And we can’t function at our highest levels from those states, and we need to be functioning from our highest levels right now. All of us. With each and every one of our gifts.
Not everyone is made to or capable of going out and protesting in the streets but we all have something that is needed.
That’s where my work comes in.
You need to take time to process. To feel. To rest. To restore. And to feel some joy in community because joy is sustaining.
As usual, I’m running Quickie Kundalini yoga and a Thursday evening Peony Somatic Dance, but I’ve also added a 45 minute Wednesday mid morning Peony class.

And if you know anyone who needs this work, please pass it along.
