Free to Express My Version of Blackness at Refuge Outdoor Festival 2023
This year’s Refuge Outdoor Festival was incredible and I’m truly looking forward to next year’s gathering! It was the diversity medicine I needed and I met people I’ll definitely be spending time with between retreats.
I grew up in a Black family surrounded by mostly White people and Christian culture (I know, how did I end up like this?!). It made it harder to access some of the deepest parts of who I am and it’s a privilege to have so much more space to do so now.
Join me for Breathwork & a Sound Bath at Refuge Festival
Going to Refuge Fest is outside my comfort zone and at the very same time I know I need it.
That’s life huh? Built so discomfort has the uncanny ability to help us grow.
I'll be at Refuge Festival!
I'm so excited to not only attend, after years of fangirling from the sidelines, but hold a Breathwork Ceremony at this BIPOC centered weekend camping event this August 18-20. We'll be reconnecting with nature and celebrating just 40 minutes east of Seattle in the Cascade Mountain foothills.
Reconexión Ceremony Recap
Ceremony is home and I got to go home again this past Sunday at Reconexión. This particular offering by beloved and powerful woman of spirit Maria Muñoz @marialightowl was the first of, I suspect, many to come but it felt familiar. It was warm, everyone belonged, there was no pressure yet we were so held, there was respect and curiosity, it felt fertile.

How To Dancewalk
I started Dancewalking in 2009 as a self-dare. I dared myself to show no restraint, to let my body move when my favorite songs came on during my park walks in San Diego. Nobody told me to dare myself so why would I inflict what seemed like a cruel sorority hazing game on myself?
Pay What You Like Classes at Semi Woo
Pay What You Like doesn’t always have to be a charity effort or a marketing gimmick. It’s a business model that profitable companies from The Met to Wikipedia use. It allows more access for underprivileged communities while still appealing to a wide customer base, including one who would expect to pay more.
