May the sun bring you new energy by day,
may the moon softly restore you by night;

May the rain wash away your worries,
may the breeze blow new strength into your being;

May you walk gently through the world and
know its beauty all the days of your life.

~An Apache Blessing

Celebrating Earth by
Waking Up to the Urgency of Climate Action

Spots are still available for this one-of-a-kind workshop titled Waking Up to the Climate Crisis Through Poetry that I will be leading on Saturday April 24 from 10am to 11:30am. I am collaborating with the Monterey Bay Meditation Studio, a space for meditation, connection, reflection, and learning in Pacific Grove, California, to celebrate the Earth, and renew our connection to Nature, using poems as a vehicle for understanding, reflection and action. You do not need to be writing poetry to attend: we will read texts and watch videos from artists and poets who have been inspired by their own indignation, grief and need for action in face of the deterioration of the Earth and its species, to recognize, reflect upon, share and process our own eco-emotions.

Join me. Registration is through Monterey Bay Meditation Studio.

Another Earth Day Event

Join us as we engage our hearts and minds in celebrating and honoring this planet we call Home. This gathering is part of a worldwide celebration of Earth Day with www.earthday.org. All proceeds from this event will be donated to Elkhorn Slough Foundation.

NEW! Announcing Active Hope Book Journey

Emboldened by the emotional resonance and the heartfelt community built while leading/participating in the 10-week ALL WE CAN SAVE book circle, I have decided to offering another book journey, starting next month. This time, we will be reading the book Active Hope- How to Face the Mess We’re in without Going Crazy by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone.
