On Nurturance: Spring Wonderings + Upcoming True Earth Workshops
Join me in June to reclaim the Sun!
The Sun offers relief, brilliance, and warmth. It nurtures the conditions needed for vitality and growth. Though we center by touching the earth, the planet revolves around the sun and is always in a generative conversation with this star. Sometimes it may feel like too much and we may even be “burned.”
We are in the season of Spring which is a perfect time to explore our relationship to this soular/solar energy. This Spring in particular has revealed a spectrum of seasons within one; promoting promises of its presence in mid-April with sweat-inducing 80 degree weather one week, only to be followed with two long weeks of mixed rain and snow forecasts. Still, we can feel something has shifted and is shifting around us, in the air, and within us. Because even when clouds and rain shroud us, the sun is never absent. It is with us in a new way, we know very deeply.
The metaphor of the sun as masculine energy resonates with me and reflects the upcoming workshop I’m facilitating with True Earth’s Radical Nurturance series. For many, the conjunction of masculinity and nurturance may be a question or a mystery. I’m honored that True Earth invited me as sibling, as friend, and as community member to lead this exploration – this miniature mystery school. I am excited to co-create with you this space of breathing, dreaming, and story sharing in this time of great spiritual transition.

Bringing Down the Sky, Holding Up the Sun - Masculinity & Nurturance | Workshop- Saturday, June 3rd 3-5PM ET
Workshop Description: The sons shine as bright as the sun shines: Distant, dependable, creating shadows, and microclimates essential to growth on earth. In a gentle exploration of our relationship to masculinities, we will reflect on masculine nurturance that we want, need, have or desire in our lives.
Reaching out to the sky past the point of possibility, we’ll experience together what it is to nurture masculine energy, and be nurtured by the warmth of the sun.

Radical Nurturance - Watering the Seeds of Change
(As stated on True Earth’s website)
The entire series, titled Radical Nurturance - Watering the Seeds of Change is a sacred space for reimagining - join a crew of artists, healers, activists, and cultural change-makers as we step outside of time, loosen the grip of false mandates, and reimagine together. In this series of gatherings, we will explore critical questions, create space in which we can soften, confront and lay to rest lying stories we hold inside of us, and open to authentic and practical emergent possibilities. Through dream entry/meditation, creative process, hands-on activities, somatic exercises, and wakeful conversation we will seek out not only the world we long for, but our distinct places in it.
