Staying focused and productive at work is harder than ever thanks to our smart phones. One minute, it might be a notification for breaking news, the next minute, a notification for a new Bumble match (YAY), and the next minute, your mom texting you because she discovered what Bitmojis are...

After Dr. Katia Sol’s beautiful retreat in West Marin with Danielle Devaki Gustafson, I sat down once more to write about gratitude. But seeing as how we just passed Thanksgiving (a SF one at that) and I literally pass my gratitude jar every time I reach for my computer to type out a post, the word itself was beginning to get lost on me...

In my perspective, gratitude practice is not about bypassing anything that’s going on or sugarcoating; on the contrary it arises from allowing ourselves to feel everything. The more we open to feel our grief, sadness, anger, fear, and despair, the more space we open for gratitude, expansion, joy and love...

S.A.N.D. stands for ‘Science and Non-Duality Conference’ which they describe as both "a forum where preeminent scientists, philosophers, teachers, artists and a large, international community gather to explore and advance the new paradigm emerging in spirituality," and "a playground where we come together to explore and share insights or simply reflect on what is emerging in consciousness"...

For me, I felt like the workshop offered a microcosm of possibility. First, we refilled our well and came back to our deepest sense of Self. Then we shared this meditative expansive experience with the people around us. Finally, we recognized ourselves as a community—yoga teachers, practitioners and healers who want to show up for our selves, each other, and the planet...

One reason this is so different is, this is the first time that I will be just accompanying myself, no soloist, no second singer. I spent a lot of my career with very large bands, my albums earlier on with the Pagan Love Orchestra, there were 4 albums with them and it was always between 11 and 15 people...

It allows us the safe space to confront some of the things that we have been guarding against by using or drinking. And for me there is so much more healing in that. The discharge of trauma stored in up your body. More than any therapy or anything else. So yoga is just particularly effective because you have to slow down a little bit and it integrates the mind and the body...

Shakti isn’t gender specific…It ( She!) is in everyone and everything—because what Shakti truly is is the energy that creates and sustains life! The tantric view here is that in ‘ordinary’ life, the life-force works to direct our attention outwards through the senses and perceptual apparatus, which gives us the experience of separation from others and the world...

Asked to write about Uma Dinsmore-Tuli’s Yoga Nidra and Womb Yoga workshops this weekend at Yoga Tree, I sort of had trouble deciding which to choose. So I didn’t. Perhaps it’s because I love the lady so freaking much, with her passion for all things feminine, her deep and well-researched knowledge of Yogic tradition...
