June resource round-up

Five perspectives I'm learning from in paving a more beautiful way

Hello Dear Friends,

We made it to the end of June! Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting two seasonal pauses: one) a solstice celebration for a few close friends at my home and two) an online contemplative event called the Seasonal Examen—which you can learn more about here.

This is a selfie I took after facilitating The Seasonal Examen. It was meaningful and refreshing experience to reflect on the past season and hold space for what’s emerging for the season ahead.

It was a beautiful week, but an exhausting one. Alex was out of town, which meant all of the chicken chores and market garden harvesting was up to me. And I had the worst toothache which really threw off my plans and disrupted my sleep.

In any case, I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of us. I’m sure your month has also been filled with activity, celebration, shifting responsibilities and some degree of change. Wherever you are and however this month has shaped up, you made it.

To mark the closing chapter that is June 2023, I wanted to share with you five of the perspectives that have shaped my life and inner world over the past few weeks—in hopes that you too may find the grace to keep paving a more beautiful way in your own sphere of love and influence.
