Integration

Tears are always rather close these days. How about you?

Like many people I know, I had a cold recently. It felt like my body declaring it was time to stare out the window and just catch up with myself.

To fully experience this moment’s large scale of both pain and beauty is truly soul changing.

I needed a pause, a time to reintegrate myself. 

While I hunkered down for a winter weekend, my soul fantasized about this: taking refuge in the magical healing garden of a wise and compassionate grandmother.

We need grandmother wisdom right now to remember who we really are, and who we are meant to become. We need grandmother wisdom for holding each other, caring for each other’s wounds, and nurturing our best selves.

That’s why I’ve created Grandmothers’ Garden, a place to heal and cultivate your wise self. It’s inspired by the embodied wisdom in women’s traditional dances. Yes, we do dance a little, and I also offer wisdom teachings, guided meditation, time for journaling, and sharing in pairs. 

I’ve just updated the schedule, topics, times, and registration process for the spring season.

March’s topic is healing and community. Especially if the intensity of community needs and divisions risk overloading the circuits of your heart, this class is for you. 

Come explore some grandmother wisdom that gives you embodied maps for:

• Rebalancing the energy of the community

• Synthesizing heartaches too complex for words

• Restoring and strengthening mutuality

• Harmonizing and integrating conflicting energies

You will learn practices you can continue at home as well as in community.

Sign up here – and check out all the upcoming topics. 

While you may feel it could take generations to heal and integrate all that is happening now, every little step counts. Get a boost of fresh ideas, connections, and practices you can weave into daily life in the next session of Grandmothers’ Garden. 

Love,

Emily
