Life Update

“How are you?” “I’m okay! I’ve been a little up and down since my surgery for thyroid cancer, but mostly I’m feeling really good right now. Thanks for asking!” TLDR; “How are you?” What a beautiful and benign question, one that leaves me tongue-tied. I both love and loathe this…

Climate Anxiety Isn’t Just a Psychological Crisis

It’s a spiritual one — I was glad to see the New York Times’ recent article, “Climate Change Enters the Therapy Room.” As the climate crisis worsens, more people are sure to report feelings of anxiety and grief, and therapy offers many excellent tools for coping. However, therapy can only go so far in responding…

A Day in the Life of a Sacred Activist

The precariousness of living is breathtaking, isn’t it? A friend from high school loses her five-year-old in a tragic accident. A former love dies suddenly at 43. A previous coworker passes without warning. Yet another friend’s baby dies after a long and difficult illness. …

Lessons from Standing Rock, Four Years Later

Today, as we honor Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and around the world, I’m remembering my experience at Standing Rock, which has actually felt closer and more vivid than ever. The camp at Oceti Sakowin was a powerful embodiment of prayerful direct action, a place where people lived in reciprocity…

Who wants to think about the apocalypse?

A few months ago, I was all fired up about writing a series of articles (or maybe even a book!) about Reclaiming the Apocalypse. I had just facilitated a workshop and Reimagining Magazine had published my piece with that very title. …

Against All Odds & Against the Rules

I was reminded of this today, this mantra born in the dead of winter, around the turn of the new year. That was six months ago in the Before Time — before Australia burned, before a pandemic, before unemployment, before isolation, before uprisings. Everyone I’ve interacted with today — maybe…

To my fellow white folks, especially the “woke” ones.

Hey. Could we take a deep breath together? These have been a really rough, yet illuminating past couple of weeks. It’s horrifying — and necessary — to witness what’s (been) happening to our black and brown friends. It’s painful to acknowledge and sit with the truth of our complicity. …
