Balinese Healing Immersion
These past 10 days in Bali have been a journey of pure synchronicity. A group of 9 people came together from the United States to study with Guru Made, a beautiful soul who radiates the essence of unconditional love. Over the course of our time with him, I realized I found a teacher without knowing…

Fountain of Youth
“Travel can slow the aging process, new study says” states The Washington Post. “The positive experiences associated with trips – the social interactions, mental stimulation, physical activity, and healthy cuisines – can delay the aging process, the scientists say.” When I traveled to India earlier this year, after several years of not traveling internationally post…

Offerings
Eka hears my door close and starts the water pot. Sky changes from ink to plum to rose, illuminating towering clouds. Frangipani’s languid fall to earth, Roosters announce the Dawn.

I started practicing yoga in the 70’s when a hippie teacher from Oberlin insisted we do it in grade school. I liked it. I didn’t realize how fortunate I was to practice yoga in Boulder, CO until I moved…

Join me in India
I leave for India in less than a month. I know how transformational India was for me the first time I went and that is what fueled my passion to bring people to this amazing and complex country. We have 2 spots left for our trip next month to India. We know you’re out there…

Tuning In in India
In India, I experience the gamut: giddy laughter, loving kindness from strangers, heart connection, unexpected friendships, communion with cows, encounters with monkeys, blaring horns, sublime sunsets. What I don’t think I have conveyed is the journey within to deep stillness – the Gift of Presence – that has been my India. Words really don’t do…

What to Do?
Every day I wake up and read the New York Times on my phone. I read the California edition. Almost every day there are stories about the housing crisis in this state; the rising cost of homes and people living on the streets. Today the news has stories of fires burning and evacuations. And…
