RAGE is RESISTANCE
(Basically) one year after the election, dive into a daylong experience and processing of rage. Full-bodied, full-hearted release through shouting, dancing, breaking shit, making shit. Of course, some writing. This one melds mindfulness with punk rock. It’s gonna be rad.

Yoga teaching @ spira
A random, ongoing one! I’ll be subbing classes at Spira Power Yoga beginning this fall. (Don’t let the name fool you; classes are Vinyasa and/or slow flow, centered on mindfulness and breath/body connection.)
Details and signups available on Spira’s website, via button below. And while I’m here, can I just say that Dora’s classes are what you want? She is a stunning yoga teacher who deepened my creative, spiritual, and movement practices immensely. Go forth!

Community Mailbox Experiment
Picture a mailbox on a busy sidewalk, loaded with blank cards, pre-addressed envelopes, and a request: write me a letter. This interactive public installation proved warm, intimate, deep, and expansive. More than 100 letters came in, and continue to do so.
This experiment ran Jan - Jul 2025, with a secondary exhibit, Letters from Friends (May-Jul 2025), showcasing the letters’ vulnerable, hopeful, wise collective.
