What is calling us to witness and be with?

A whirlwind of events, connections, and drifts.

A whirlwind of questions, thoughts, and reflections.
Where are we going? Towards what destination?
Where do we intend to find ourselves as a whole in the long term?

Much is in motion, stirred up, and discombobulated. Instability, confusion, and interrelated questionings are part of the mix.

Yes, it's intense!

Yes, it's confronting!

Nevertheless, we are precisely where we are supposed to be.

Open your wings - your ability to fly, flow, and whirl while finding a steady pace.

How could that look like?

How would that feel, in all our cells, with all our senses?

Potter’s House Reflections and “Kiln Maintenance”

The Potter’s house began with a desire to slow down and deepen a sense of care and commitment for what we each wanted to hold with more regard. For some, the 75 min practice space became a time to create and write. For others, it offered a doorway to deeper listening and self care. Inner wisdom often emerged and in surprising ways.  Here are a few reflections and excerpts from “letters to the potter.”

• “I offer an ode to the Potter’s space! Where I bring the vision of an intention and breathe it into the clay of time and space and witness the emergent pottery of lived action,” began Riley. 

• “How do I hear my breath with all the noise?” Drew inquired.  

• “How much of this is a container for a collective breath that happens?” someone asked, as we noticed how common themes emerge in each session. 

• “What calls for radical permission?” Dounia called forth with excitement to initiate a session. She summed up her experience as “collaging with purpose…. A micro ceremony of thought.”

What started as an experiment to “repattern and rewire habits and ways of being,” proved to be much more fundamental. Namely, it offered moments to reconnect to ourselves, regain trust and bring more aliveness to our gifts.
