What do you do for a living?

I am a 5 Rhythms movement meditation facilitator

What do you do to feel alive?

I dance and reconnect to nature – to sun, to ocean, to earth – to the elements. I also live in Costa Rica 8 months out of the year.

A lesson you learned from your mother:

To multi-task with grace

A lesson you learned from your father:

My work ethic – drive, focus, tenacity – staying with craft and perfecting it.

What’s the most beautiful thing you saw today?

During my last dance class a mother brought her 10-month-old baby – and she was in the middle of the chaos dancing – finding her own beat. Also witnessing the intimate dances of everyone in that same room – the joy, the tear, the connection.

What’s one thing you wouldn’t want anyone to take away from you?

My freedom

What thought would you like to never have again?

I am not enough

If you could become an inanimate object what would it be?

A crystal chandelier where all the colors are present

When do you feel most loved?

When I feel physical connection with the “beloved”, but the beloved can show up in many forms – on the dance floor – after making love – but for me it’s a physical experience and when I’m dancing I’m in the state of self love.

If your life were to end tomorrow what would be left undone?

Being able to be a real catalyst for peace within my blood family. I haven’t found the bridge to invite them into a more peaceful existence. And To become a mother.

What global issue would you take on if you didn’t have to worry about how?

Children – being housed and cared for – being parented and loved. Giving all children a sense of belonging.

What’s the scariest thing that ever happened to you?

I almost drove myself and one of my beloved off a cliff in Big Sur. We were close, very close, to the edge, and I still relive that moment.
