Appreciation and love goes out to the East Bay Meditation Center, a welcoming community space in Oakland, CA.  Resources: —Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford —Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz —East Bay Meditation Center [https://eastbaymeditation.org/] in Oakland, CA; @embc_oakland on instagram —EBMC POC Sangha [https://poc.eastbaymeditation.org/]

Alone Time

It is time to end white supremacy. It is time to call in a more compassionate future. Black lives matter. George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, may you rest in power.  We hope you find this episode, recorded early during SIP, supportive in this intense time. Herein, Annika, Clare and Aaron talk about the empowerment that comes with learning to be alone. A seeker asks about how to stay calm in the face of stressful drama. Gratitude and love go out to Patrick Arbore and the Institute on Aging.

Selfcare

Annika, Clare and Aaron discuss our selfcare favorites. We love caring for ourselves — its key to being resourced so we can extend care to others. The seeker segment takes a scenic detour this week. Gratitude and massive appreciation goes out to local small businesses and those makers and artisans in our communities. We support you 100%.

Dreamtime

Word is, there's lots of dream activity in the collective unconscious lately. Aaron, Annika and Clare do a dream check-in, sharing what's been coming up for us and swapping interpretations and theories. A seeker inquires about how to manage dissociation, and big thanks and love goes out to Portland Street Medicine [https://www.portlandstreetmedicine.org/].
