A Lot of Nature Based Mindfulness Facilitation Coming Up This and Next Week: Details to Join IRL or Online


Hey Rebel Reader !

The next three weeks are full. I wanted to put it all in one place in case you want to find me.

I'm leading the Awake In The Wild morning sits all this week and next, covering the Sunday Sit tonight at 4:30PM PT, running three Wild Rebellion sessions at Boulder Startup Week. Heading to the SABEW Journalism Conference in Philly, and after that Bex and I head down to Overland Expo in Flagstaff.

Whew! Spring has sprung.

Sunday Sit with Awake In The Wild Sunday May 3rd, 4:30 PM PT. 45 minutes. Free, on Zoom. We'll be sitting with what the body knows in early spring, before the calendar catches up. Redbuds, soil, the wisdom of waiting and the wisdom of blooming.

Hey Rebel Reader ! Another quick one before the longest day tips toward evening, and I hit the road again. I'm just back from the IRE conference in Washington DC a few intense days of workshops and lightning coaching sessions with investigative journalists doing the work that holds truth to power. A humbling crowd, and an honor to work with all of them. Heading to Oregon this week for Overland Expo PNW. If you're in the Pacific Northwest, come find me. I'll be showcasing our adventure rig,...

Hey Rebel Reader ! Quick one, because it's happening today. This morning is our monthly Rebellion Collective gathering. It's the room we build for people in transition: navigating burnout, a layoff, the question of what work is even for, or the slower realization that you've lost touch with your body and your joy along the way. Different doorways, same room. We open in presence, share a short talk on the month's theme (this time, the V.O.I.D., the forces quietly draining your capacity), then...

Hey Rebel Reader ! The dates I sent for this month's Awake In The Wild sessions were not the real dates. I had a moment, the calendar had a moment, and you got the wrong information. Here's what's actually happening: Morning Sits with Awake In The Wild May 11th to 14th / 18th to 22nd, Mon to Fri, 7:30 AM PT. Roughly 30 minutes. Free, on Zoom. [Register here] Kit is corrected now, but yesterday's email isn't retroactively fixable. So this is me fixing it the analog way. See you on the cushion!...
