2009 / Bali
Yoga teacher training took me away from the familiar path of American college life. It became part of my spiritual and personal development.
Movement / Rest / Attention
A practice of
paying attention.
Movement, rest and time outside are recurring parts of my life. How I approach them keeps changing as my body and circumstances change.
Learning through the body
A different kind
of listening.
2010 / Bodywork
Massage therapy training and licensure helped me notice what is not said, read between the lines and attend to the person in front of me.
Today / Still learning
Some days invite movement; others ask for rest. Living with pain has made that distinction personal. A practice can change.
Beyond a routine
More room
in the day.
I love being near the lake, watching the light change and having enough quiet to notice where my attention has gone. Nature keeps returning, whatever else is happening in my life.
I am interested in what a person’s whole day feels like: how they move, the rest they need and the people they have time for. My own exploration is not a protocol for someone else.
The habit of listening carries into work. Before deciding what should change, I want to understand the person doing the work and what they are experiencing.
Stay for a moment
Follow the light.
The next conversation
Attention changes
the conversation.
The thread between how we live, how we listen and how we lead.
