Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Taurus season! As we move into this grounded, earthy energy, it is the perfect time to slow down, indulge the senses, and check in with our breath. This season invites us to find stability and create space for community, and I am so excited to share several ways we can gather and find our center together.

Next Women’s Circle: May 13th

Our next gathering is officially on the calendar. Join us for an evening of connection, reflection, and restorative energy. These circles are a sacred space to drop out of the "doing" mind and into the "being" body.

• When: May 13th at 7:00 PM

• Where: Tantara, North Beach

• Reserve Your Spot: Book Here via SweatPals

For the Clinicians & Healers

Calling all San Francisco therapists and mental health professionals! I am hosting two specific opportunities tailored for our community to help prevent burnout and integrate somatic tools into your practice:

1. SF Therapist Mixer: A chance to connect with local peers in a relaxed, wellness-focused setting.

2. Meditation & Breathwork Training for Therapists: Deepen your clinical toolkit with nervous system regulation techniques.

Reply to this email if you’d like the details for either (or both!) of these events.

Loving Kindness Meditation

Maintaining your edge is great, but keeping your heart open is what makes you resilient. Integrating Loving-Kindness (Metta) into your routine helps shift the nervous system from a state of "defense" or "judgment" into a state of "connection" and "safety."

Befriending the Inner Critic

When you notice a harsh self-judgment creeping in, pause and place a hand over your heart. Acknowledge the feeling and say to yourself: "It’s okay to feel this way right now. May I be kind to myself in this moment." This physical touch combined with kind words activates the release of oxytocin
