I’m so looking forward to Saturday’s gathering: Trust in Power ⭐️ who will join us? #art #tarot #artsbasedresearch

i've been a part of Nina's co-resting groups for over a year. after leaving behind my life as a monk, it's the one place i've been able to experience the joy + power of the teaching "zazen has no fixed form." a profound spiritual practice + a place to show up authentically with others #inthesetimes

Starts tomorrow! Happy to make room for more! 🌸

I’m looking forward to this discussion with Martha and Dr. Charles — they’re asking important questions 💡

My friend @jbethiejean.bsky.social wrote a book! I’m so looking forward to reading 🤓

"Totalitarians manipulate us is through our heightened anxiety about death and dying—as the dominant culture has failed to initiate so many of us into healthy relationship to our mortality. ...But we also have to be prepared to mourn, and find meaning in lives that are finite." don't miss this!

@feelingndealing.bsky.social + I will be gathering in the zoom room for The Symbolic Lab: Trust in POWER this coming Saturday, 9/27 + we would love to see you there... this Lab is offered by donation/pay-what-you-can image of the Fool arcanum from @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social's Queer Crow Death Magic

This workshop still has up to seven seats open And free seats are still available Hoping it will fill enough to run (I promise it isn’t stressful or depressing)

I think that healthy, boundaried, non-extractive methods of gathering in community are worth preserving. @whatashrinkthinks.com has a new cohort beginning in the fall 👇🏽 www.whatashrinkthinks.com/group-group

I’m appreciating these elaborations from @margaret.bsky.social on deescalating conflict that isn’t with the enemy 🌺 open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

Our dignity as human beings is worth preserving imo

A question for contemplation inked on watercolor #art from the late and beloved Dr. Barbara Holmes 🌸 “What is worth preserving, guarding whether we succeed or not?”

as for a balm in all of this madness, martha's writing:

Painted using an automatic #art process with watercolor paint, inks, & cold-pressed watercolor paper — what do you see?

I highly recommend this online workshop with @sheainthecatskills.com 👇🏽 ⭐️ it’s by-donation and all proceeds go to The Sameer Project

This is one of my favorite artifacts from my years of making stuff. I love the detail of the skull — so carefully sketched with a gray watercolor pencil. I love the bold colors and wisps of subtlety I was incorporating at the time. #art #practicemakesart

Testing watercolor paints mixed with Bombay ink on cold pressed paper — I’m in love 😍 #art

@revwendyvie.bsky.social is accepting members for the next session of her group: Spirituality for times like these:

Here is how I think of it: In this moment community groups necessary for palliation resistance and rebuilding We aren’t going to do any part of this alone

We live in a peopled and people-focused world, and traditional psychoanalytic models focus primarily on our relationships to other human beings - but sometimes we need to value and talk about our relationships with creatures, non-human living things, inanimate objects, places and whole environments.

Highly recommend. "Isn't that a bit morbid?" Not at all, it's life-affirming.

Lexi is healing well and modeling radical rest for all of us! #pugsnores

My dear friend @ninahatfield.bsky.social gifted this deck to me for my birthday 🙏🏽 It’s such an artful treasure! @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social is accepting preorders to reprint 👇🏽 get it while it’s hot ❤️‍🔥

Live like you need each other. Understand that you live interdependently with everyone you encounter even if you hate them or they bug the crap out of you. We are all tangled in the same net. From @whatashrinkthinks.com ‘s Lectio Divina series: www.whatashrinkthinks.com/lectio-essay...

shea's words are so beautiful

So glad to share shea in the catskills' newest offerings:

I’m so looking forward to this nuanced discussion about Christianity tomorrow!

On the topic of white masculinity, I’m appreciating this book by Jared Yates Sexton. It’s a mixture of personal, heartfelt storytelling and searing clarity about the cultural conditions that shape American white, rural, working class masculine mythologies. www.counterpointpress.com/books/the-ma...

My dear friend & conspirator @sheainthecatskills.com is offering to send their gorgeous art & tarot zine to those who donate 👇🏽🙏🏽

Post-surgery pug

Recent art inspired by love, loss and a Feist lyric 🌊

Honored to co-lead this discussion with @whatashrinkthinks.com. Over my lifetime, I’ve seen Christianity in nearly all its expressions.
