SHORT poem/ meditation/ inspiration for you- TODAY!

It's been a minute since I last recorded. Today I share behind the scenes of my own life and offer some suggestions for your own Spring Pause Retreat. Thanks to Rebekah Erev for this chant that I start and close with. You can join our conversations, here.

In this episode, I talk about how I see the ebbs and flows of life as a game and how this perspective has helped me navigate all the challenges and all the celebrations. If you want a copy of the Grief Ritual we hosted in our community, please reach out for a link, [email protected]. 

Today I share with you some deeper teachings around Welcoming the Sabbath Queen and ways you can sit with, hold and cherish your own Sabbath practice as a way to honor life and death and take a breath and a pause for your soul. I share Batya Levine's beautiful, Lecha Dodi, about the Welcoming of the Sabbath Bride and Queen into our hearts and homes, https://batyalevine.bandcamp.com/album/karov. 

I recommend a " Sabbath practice" in the same time/ day of the week each week - no matter what your beliefs are. It's really about the soul pause, the time to listen to your inner self and to sit with the compassionate one.. try it, relax and enjoy.
