July 2026

Hello Fellow Travelers.

June was a month for traveling. One of the anchors for this time was the Grief and Eros ritual (https://www.embodymorelove.com/villageritual), I am still digesting the immensity of this experience. It truly feels like one of those “life before this point and life after this point” moments. Moments of my life from my life, including profound experiences of the last ten years wove through in unexpected ways, moments of connection with the humans, profound beauty of the sky and space, the way I opened up inside myself to move things I thought would never move, and synchronicities that took my breath away. Weeks later, I am still finding changes that have me in awe.

Food for Thought and Inspiration:

• I'm thinking about love. Love and grief. Beauty and sorrow. Each of these resources has brought me solace in its own way, and has helped me to dream of a world where the wholeness of our connections can be honored.

As someone who lives with chronic disability, it has been life changing for me to be around other people who “get it” and see some of my experiences represented in the world around me. Some of the amazing work that has helped me find my way in disability activism spaces are:
