The Art of an Embodied Life
Cultivating an embodied life is a homecoming, untethering from performative masks and ways of being. This month the path home is paved with daily practice, rituals to steal back time, leaning into creativity and bringing reverence back to experiencing your life first hand.
If you’ve heard the whispers of a quiet but persistent voice craving more time, more space, more stillness, more beauty, a deeper connection to yourself and others, this month’s offering is a key.
I’ve shared an introductory video that’s open for members and anyone who wants to know the full breakdown of our program of soul enrichment this month. Of course, this theme will last 31 days but integration is an ethereal process and you‘re welcome to start anytime you’re ready.

The Extinction of Experience by Christine Rosen
I will be sharing an indepth unpacking of this read in an episode of Constantly Becoming, which you will be able to tap in with even if you haven’t read the book.
Synopsis: The Extinction of Experience explores how modern technology influences and shapes human experience, impacting areas like pleasure, self-reliance, relationships, and connection to nature.
The book argues that technology can lead to a "withering of experience," where individuals become overly reliant on mediated experiences and disconnected from the physical world.
