Thank you to our early bird-amazing teacher and human being- Lorraine for offering a piece of her Yoga with us today. May it bring you some Mindfulness this Monday. Most of you have heard the phrase “let it go.” Whether in a yoga class or just in conversation. Funny thing is when I was speaking […]
There has been a bit of buzz and questioning whether or not I will stay in Greenville. After all, I have been traveling back and forth to California and I have no family here. So of course, it leads to speculation as to where I might settle in and plant my feet. This year has […]
Lately life seems to be moving too fast and changing at a rapid pace. Some days I am able to flow seamlessly from one event to the next and everything feels right. Other days I feel like I am struggling to keep the energy up to put one foot in front of the other. I […]

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently […]
This weekend in our Five Virtues training, we spent some time unpacking ‘mindfulness of the body’ in Vipasana meditation. In this practice, you sit and scan the body from crown of the head down the back body and then again moving down the front body. Whenever a sensation arises as you scan, you ask yourself […]
