Summer tings dump: a harvest of peppers and tomatoes that I turned into a #NewMexico style green chili stew w/ homemade tortillas, sunflowers and wildflowers in radiant bloom, baby squash and watermelon setting on the vine, all under the Buddha’s watchful charge 🍅👨🏽🌾☸️ #abundance!

In the last 2 weeks, someone I went to church w 15 years ago told me their mom asked after me bc I was her favorite #pianist, and a few days later, a mentor of mine reminded me how important it is I share my musical gifts with my community, so...
#Spirit laid this on my heart — it’s my pleasure to take y’all to ‘chech’ with @thelegendaryclarksisters ! 🔥

For the last session of my Ritual and the Embodied Mythic Imagination class, we performed a classroom ritual based on the Dagara medicine wheel and the elemental framework of Elder Malidoma Somé. Of course, being in California we couldn’t have a real bonfire (lawd don’t let me burn this state down lol), but I am grateful for the earth energies and collective healing my students curated 🌍🕯️🕊️

I am teaching #Undrowned by @alexispauline this week in my eco-psychology course so today felt like practice getting lessons straight from our marine mammalian cousins!
