What an amazing journey I had with 8 of my grandnieces/nephews coming up with the Adventures in Oz – our mashup of The Wizard of Oz and Wicked … whose cast members happen to meet up with another surprisingly green character – Kermit the Frog!  I have lots of other adventures coming up that I’d love to share with you below… you’ll find an online series, as well as live offerings in Philadelphia & Seattle. Hope we can dance our way into the fall together!

The ancient practices help us touch sacred ground and bring gentle presence, grounded resistance, and creative capacities to our world. Let’s keep the dance of hope alive!

As we step into the new year, how are you called to carry the light? What are the adventures, the joys, the acts of service that beckon to you? I have been musing that I am called to do what I love, and to trust that giving through my joy is an act of service.
