While spring peeks around the corner, midwinter winds challenge our immunity and resilience. The spring transition is the biggest shift of the year for our bodies and the natural world. I am listening to many friends and community members who are feeling restless, unresolved, under-resourced, and under pressure.

We have found ourselves in the midst of a creative cycle, which includes breaking down and tilling the soil that used to be our foundation. The newly planted seed is under disorienting darkness and uncomfortable pressure as it becomes ripe enough to sprout. You may feel this intensity in your own inner balance, interpersonal dynamics, or local and global volatility.

This ripening is essential to the creative process; renewal and fruition are hard-earned. To honor and harmonize with this transformative cycle, Mira and I are cooking up an evening of music, connection, and community. We are sharing soul songs and healing chants to cultivate hope and resilience. Join us at this Thursday, March 13, 7-9pm at Vali Soul Sanctuary.
