Collective flourishing grows from the soil of our inner lives.

I used to think that if I could change the world out there then it would make me feel safer and more free in here, within the nuances and textures of my everyday life. As a racial justice educator, I spent years teaching others about the systemic oppression in the world in hopes of changing their minds and inviting them to co-create a more just world with me. While I saw some progress, over time, being an activist led to tremendous burnout. I became disconnected from myself. I had poor boundaries. I lost sight of who I was and felt like I was trying to give from an empty well.

When I began tending to the landscape of my inner life, transformation unfolded within me & around me. I was able to clarify my sense of calling. I was able to stop striving with so much anxiety. I was equipped to create relationships that nourished my life instead of drained me. I was able to remember who I was and offer my gifts from a place of rootedness, authenticity, and rest.
