New Book Available for Pre-order!

My newest book is now available for pre-order from Flower Press!

Out April 22, The Verse for Now is my ninth book. This meditative collection asks us to accept ourselves as planetary, at once vast and cosmic, while equally small and animal. As we witness the flames and floods of climate crisis, what guidance might exist in a moment of contemplation while kneeling beside a rushing creek, walking Midwestern streets, writing poetry, or sitting with an old growth redwood? Even in the dark days, I’m trying to understand what it means to trust, praise and honor the earth. These poems uncover divine tools of transformation, uplifting the practice of relationship with people and planet. The Verse for Now sings of interconnection and agency in an expansive universe, where together we create the endless story of life.

 

Omega Institute – The Power of Radical Imagination

I’ll be teaching at Omega Institute this spring. May 24-26, I’ll join Valerie June, Ayesha Ophelia, and Sarah Walko at Omega for our special retreat The Power of Radical Imagination. This three-day group experience in Rhinebeck, NY is designed to deepen your relationship with nature and cultivate positive change as we embody new practices through music, poetry, art, and mindfulness.

We had our first planning session yesterday and wow, this is going to be one for the books. The retreat is many months away, but with this all-star lineup I know spots will fill up quickly and I want to be sure you all have the info! Please let me know if you have any questions after reviewing the Omega site. It’s going to be a dreamy time of embodiment and exploration. I cannot wait to share such a unique and inspiring journey with those who can make it.
