Greetings, Dear Jennifer!
From my desk and my heart, I send you balm, courage, and stamina.
Especially because the world seems to be rapidly changing in incomprehensible ways, TEALarbor stories continues to deepen how we hold space for creativity, soul nourishment, community building, and abiding interconnection with all beings.
One way I do this is by saying "yes" to invitations to present my work. I had a wonderful opportunity a few weeks ago to speak at the local Unitarian/Universalist church here on the island. (Read more & find the link to the sermon.)
Other ways I continue to broaden and deepen include ongoing learning, research and reading; offering courses and events; and collaborating with others locally and abroad. You'll see some of these below.
