End of Year Newsletter
Seasons Greetings,
We are thinking of you all as we transition from one calendar year into the next. In this time of quiet, of generative potentiality, of warm possibility, we thank you for your beautiful presence and space-sharing this year. It has been such a gift to journey with you all through 2022.
We are writing to you with artistic offerings from us, and with a grateful celebration of all of those who have 'Dreamwalked' with us this year.
We wish you abundance, softness, and the delight of wonder in the year to come.
An End of Year Offering From Kelsi
In this time of gentleness and transition, collaborator Kelsi James offers a musing-through-music on Quiet.
Kelsi says, "For me, quiet breathes in many ways -- as deep listening, as rest, as recharge, as the place of possibility, the place of anything-could-come-into-being. Sometimes the beautiful expansiveness of the latter makes it hard for me to say anything at all. Here, I muse through song on quietude." Listen to Kelsi's song Quiet here.
An End of Year Offering From Andrea
Here, on the cusp of the past-future year, we offer Presencing Wave, a sharing by Andrea of Practices of Re-Membering. Presencing Wave was filmed for Andrea's friend Kaya Usher for her Solstice 2022 event ‘Harmonic Resonance: One Gathering’. The music is Breaking the Breath by Kaya Usher and Kevin Drew. Andrea says, "When my Dad watches this video with me he smiles and with soft breath chants, "push and pull…push and pull…push and pull…push and pull.” Come into the circle with Andrea and her Hula Hoop here.
Dreamwalking 2022
We are sending much love to all of those who were in circle with us this year. You are so treasured.
