After a year of social distancing, pivots, pandemic, racial reckoning, isolation, death, and grief, we are now beginning to start the process of re-entry. What does all this mean? What are we re-entering into? I'm not sure what is ahead, but I imagine that a part of this re-entry moment is becoming familiar again.
Becoming familiar again with hope. Becoming familiar again with excitement. Becoming familiar again with joy.
In these tender moments of recovery, I get the sense that some of us will need to go slow. Rather than rush ahead into everything, and every place, and every one we will need to gently become familiar again, little by little.
If you, like me, feel the need to ease into feelings of joy, amusement, and whimsy, this offering is for you.
ANNOUNCEMENT! I am offering 4 week online session entitled "Easing Into Delight."
