last chance to get started towards a free session!
Happy new moon, y'all! Have you set your intentions?
In my last love letter, I shared my offer of a free session if you schedule 4 weekly sessions in this moon cycle.
This is your reminder that THIS WEEK is the last week to get started. Half of this week is already booked. So, if you're interested, please head over to schedule.
Details here; schedule link here.
Recently I met (remotely) with someone about being a guest on her podcast. (Coming in 2021 - you'll know more later.)
We talked about how I hold space and help people tap into intuition—things you already know.
We also talked about my "fun facts" and stories—the breadth and depth of my personal experiences, which I think are often what draw people to working with me.
(If you caught my love letter earlier this year about stories, it's related.)
Storytelling is one of my values. Stories are how we understand ourSelves and the rest of the universe. Stories are how we learn, often how we retain the most powerful lessons or wisdom.
Sessions with me are co-created. These spaces are about you, your intuition, your clarity. That combines with my contribution. That means it's important for me that you know what informs my perspective. I'm not coming at this as a therapist or a coach. I'm coming as a highly sensitive, empathic person who's been through some weird and wild things.
What I've witnessed, again and again over the years, is how much medicine comes from sharing stories and perspectives.
So, I thought I'd share the list that I emailed to the podcaster :)
*** To be clear, some of these are heavy. So, CN for deep, intense life experiences. ***

~ My résumé looks like a copy/paste job from multiple people: working corporate, co-directing a yoga studio, teaching for 20+ years, co-founding and eventually directing a charity festival, teaching mindfulness to aid workers.
~ I have immigrant grandparents.
~ I have had many emotionally abusive relationships. Dating is the least of it — I haven't had many shady romantic partners (just a few), but I've had many emotionally abusive managers, bosses, and colleagues.
~ I had a cancer scare that I managed for 3 years.
~ I co-managed a Burning Man camp for 4 years.
~ I held space for my grandmother's 6 weeks of dying while in hospice.
~ I've had a daily yoga practice, no interruptions, for 15 years.
~ I've been raped, more than once.
~ I've been veg and plant-based for 20 years.
~ My last passport had extra pages, from studies and work on 5 continents.
~ I speak another language well and still another poorly.
~ I don't identify as neurotypical.
~ I am mildly ambidextrous.
~ I invented my own spiritual practices as a child, many of which I still practice.
~ I've traveled cross-country in the US 6 times.

Some of you have also contacted me about my sessions as holiday gifts. This is super easy — if you're interested, email me and we'll arrange it! I would be honored to be part of your gift to someone you love.
May your intentions find nourishing ground on this potent day.
Blessed be,
S.
