Full Moon No. 49, Spring View this email in your browser The Cholla Cactus Garden in Joshua Tree National Park "The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body." Jean Baudrillad Greetings from the desert! I'm writing to you from the Coachella Valley, where I find myself nestled in between the stunning San Jacinto Mountains and Joshua Tree National Park. After an unusually chilly, wet Spring in the PNW, my body is welcoming this dry heat. But more so, I'm enjoying exploring the vastly different landscapes here. I know very little of desert plant and animal life, aside from the fact that the Joshua Tree inspired the Dr. Suess Truffula tree, and there are Kit Fox's roaming nearby...and I'm not referring to my husband (although that's the animal he got his name after!) I'm intrigued by this foreign plant life - I feel like there are so many new friends to meet here! Do you ever feel that way when you visit a new place? Are you excited to connect with the energy of the land, and learn about the plant and animal life? I always found Geology incredibly boring in middle school, but seeing otherworldly rock formations right before your eyes makes you want to learn, to know, to understand how these forms came to be. I tend to feel this way about working with my private clients, too. Body as terrain. Their body is a new landscape that I'm exploring via movement and lifestyle pathways. I want to learn, to know, to understand how they came to be - what storms have they weathered, what mountains have they moved, what has helped protect their wildness and enabled them to flourish?   We are each our own, unique ecosystem, interacting within a far more bio-diverse and complex ecosystem. We are each a luminous constellation, and simultaneously, a speck of stardust creating a much larger constellation.     D I S C O V E R   move your body explore your terrain protect your wildness Are you ready for individualized support in developing, or expanding upon, your holistic movement and wellness lifestyle?
