I often hear my bonus kids talk about how fast things are going. When I think about my childhood, and talk to others in my generation and my elders, they agree that their childhood seemed to drag by like molasses dripping down a cold wall. It’s no surprise that the influx of information we take in o...

You know that saying, “We can’t love others if we don’t love ourselves?” Well, it might have deeper implications than you originally thought…

There was a moment when I realized that the negative dialogue I subconsciously had going on inside my own head was being projected onto the people I loved th...

Take a moment before you continue reading and take a deep breath. Close your eyes and take another.

Can you feel this moment in humanity? So many people, from all walks of life, feel that we are on the cusp of a great shift in our collective reality and within our individual consciousness. It’s a h...

This is a beautiful and heartbreaking piece written by my beloved partner, David Grimsley who has spent much of the past few weeks in the NC mountains after they were ravaged by Hurricane Helene:

Apocalypse is an interesting word. Despite the somatic feelings and dramatic bleak landscape imagery it...

I get it! You are heartbroken by the tragedies and devastation currently experienced in the Southeastern US. You are a kind, empathetic, and caring person who is willing to do whatever it takes to help out.  

The daily news of these climate disasters as well as the pending presidential election, th...

It has been a long and strange week in the continued wake of Hurricane Helene. The new moon was this past Wednesday and it felt like a very ripe time for shifting the energy of shock and pain toward healing. Perhaps we can imagine an evolution of sorts in this time of dire needs and opportunities fo...

I wrote a different newsletter to send out this week, but I scraped it in the wake of Hurricane Helene. I have to be honest, my heart is breaking, and I know I am not alone.

The storm hit us hard in Floyd but we have emerged mostly unscathed, with a couple fallen trees and a little water leakage. H...

If you have Spring allergies, starting to drink stinging nettles infusion now will help you a lot.

Stinging nettles were my first herbal ally. When I was in my 20s, I was on lots of prescription and over the counter allergy meds every Spring. A friend of mind suggested I start drinking nettles a...

We live on a living organism we call Earth. If you believe in this principle, known as the Gaia Hypothesis, and you have also been following the warming trend that is happening on our planet, it is very easy to come to the conclusion that Gaia has a fever.

In a living organism, fevers naturally occ...

Today is the last day of the month of April. I recently returned from co-leading the most amazing Spring Rejuvenation retreat in Golden, CO with the phenomenal art therapist Kate King. During the retreat, I reflected on how powerful our perspective is in creating our reality. To that end, I want to ...

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I believe that health care should be inspiring, fun, and full of curiosity. Being in a body is an incredible experience!

What we currently call "health care" is actually "sick care" because our systems are built on the premise that we don't do anything until we...

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

We are in Charleston today with David's family (we do Christmas with the Grimsleys every year because the Levins do Hanukkah - it's fun).

I hope you are enjoying a cozy late December day, wherever you are.

I have a special present for you too. Well, it's a pr...

The eight nights of Hanukkah begin today at sundown and Solstice is part of that time, taking place in 3 days on December 21 (the shortest day and longest night). Both are celebrations of life and light amidst the darkness. 

I love the story of Hanukkah, which basically boils down to a tale of hope...

Don't you think I look snazzy with this scarf wrapped around my head? I am getting ready for holiday parties. Just kidding!

Despite what you may think, I am not striving to become a trendsetter. Lol! 

What I am actually doing in this picture is treating a headache.

Yes! That is right!

One of the...

Happy Easter, Passover, and Ramadan. These holidays of redemption can inspire us to focus on our own healing.

This past week I had the pleasure of interviewing Becca Odom, therapist and fellow yoga teacher, about the power of yoga to heal trauma. It was an incredibly inspiring conversation. Becca e...
