Practice Notes & Schedule // Week of 6.8.26

embrace breath with mind, embrace mind with breath

Came across this quote from an anonymous 19th Century female Taoist adept (you know, as one does, haha) and loved the idea of the “embrace” as an expression of union.

Wrapping round, leaning in, forces meeting, support building.

First we practice on ourselves, with each other, then when we feel it - that embrace held long, sustaining - extend it out.

Before unveiling this week’s robust schedule, another Taoist gem of intention* for your consideration before this week’s (robust) schedule reveal; “empty the mind and fill the belly” - set aside preconceptions and open to possibilities.
