what do you need? 🌱
My beautiful friend Ariel sent me this photo of her Mercury retrograde Altar which I feel is a really kind way to ask yourself "what do I need?"
Hi friend! What do you need? In my exploration and obsession with trees I find myself asking the ash tree over my back deck this question every morning. What do you need? Appreciation? Care? A drink of water? Protection? I wonder if we asked trees, the land, each other, ourselves, the same question, if we would live in the world we do. If we put listening and feeling forward would we take as much as we do? Or give more? If we asked questions, and listened deeply would the earth, land respond? And if they don't speak our languages how would we listen? There is much in the world to listen to, to be of service to, but we must ask!
I know my art is to be of service to the people around me, what do they need? What are we exploring? I know teaching movement is to be of service to the room (or zoom) I am in. To de-center myself from the thing so we can get to the nuggets of information, feeling, together.
So. What do you need? I have created a place for you to tell me, and for me to listen. I have created a survey to collect some feedback so you can learn and grow together, as one. This helps me grow as a facilitaor, artist and human and to create the things you want to see in the world. As a thank you for your time, love, words and energy I want to send you a postcard. Hit the link here to tell me what you need!
You have the potential to be your best guide when you cultivate a relationship and tools for exploration and listening. I've collected all the worksheets I've created over the last year into one beautiful pack of discovery and exploration and play! You will find neutral affirmations, reminders you are here and, practices ,that will help tune into the deeper layers of yourself and find your mission on planet earth.
Also, the tree responded and it said "Land Back". Donate to Unist'ot'en Camp so there is land to listen to.
big blessings for listening and receiving and learning and growing!! 🌱
I love you, thank you
