And it is often our adversity, pain, and suffering that provide the most potent matter to alchemize. This has been true for me on my path of learning from and living with multiple chronic illnesses. This can be true for you, too. Here I share with you the practices that have helped me transform my inner world (and bit by bit, my outer world, too). These offerings are specifically intended to be empowering, encouraging, and accessible for those with different abilities and acute or chronic illnesses. It is my hope that in this spirit of inclusivity there will be something here for everybody. Join me.
