Standing on this land, my hands in the soil, I see the scars left behind. Barren clay where once a jungle breathed. Wounds in the earth, deep and raw. But unlike the helplessness I once felt as a child, I am not just watching. I am witnessing something else entirely.

After some hibernation, I’m back to focusing on yoga and community. I’m working with incredible organizations doing restoration work across the globe, writing grants for local farms, environmental initiatives, social justice, and cultural diversity projects—all while still making space for a few classes each week. Life is good! Even in the chaos, when it feels like navigating stormy waters, somehow, I always seem to wash up somewhere nurturing!

I've got passion burning in my bones! I have so much that I want to share and so many ideas that I want to explore. But… I can’t do it alone. I, like the rest of us, need community to bring the concepts into reality. I have two current support groups that I feel must happen ASAP…like NOW.

I have always told myself that I have too much to do to play games. I tell myself that I’m busy in the real world creating the reality that I want.

Then, I realized that I am simply working away all my relationships and fun time. I’ve been missing out on silly expressions that bring people closer through acts of joy!

Welcome to this guided meditation for healing the inner child. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down, and allow yourself to fully relax. Close your eyes gently and take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more and more present in this moment.
