As I was instructing the Mother-Daughter Yoga at Kripalu last weekend, and the Yoga and Love retreat at Breitenbush two weeks ago, I witnessed the collective effect of the residue fading and the radiance returning. In relationships that may include resonance, intimacy, poignancy, complexity, conflict, despair, angst, joy, and longing. To trust the process of lessening the residue, as a way to welcome back love and connection, means learning a new way of being together. Yet, so much of life seems to be about doing.  What can we do to create intimacy, avoid conflict, secure joy, and to prevent angst?

Meandering into Meeting My Teachers

​One of my teachers was born into a family lineage. His father is his guru. And his father’s father before him.
