I myself am a water body bather, rock punker, cow cutter and artist whose artistic commitment is deeply supported my practice in Ayurveda, Yoga, as well as a connection to my own ancestral Celtic roots . Over the years I have been lucky to study with a handful of radical teachers and share my practice with many radical beings through my workspace "cocoon room." and now im excited to bring the cocoon to yr room and share in this way.

all this unfurling was born as an extension of the amazement that filled me as I watched myself and others transform our insides and outsides as we oiled our selves and broke up the places our bodies were bound in a holding pattern. the places where the body struggled to find flow. The places in our lives where we restricted ourselves, took on more than our fair share, or places we have physically "lost touch" with and have evacuated in ourselves. As new vital lymph filled the areas of mine and the bodies of my clients and comrades, other areas of our lives were filled with new vitality as well. That's how the lymph works its a cascading affect, like a water fall. I saw clearly how it truly is our river of life.

By paying attention to the qualities in my outside world brought about by the elemental combinations, hot, cold, wet, and dry i really started to get a feel for how those qualities were playing out their role in my emotional, physical, and psychological body in a real tangible way, and started communicating and communing with others, exploring techniques to re~member our human body within the body of earth. unwinding the postures of colonialism, and embracing our role as ecosystem.

my curiosity lead me to see how cultures around the world also felt this connection. the beautiful ingenious systems of science and medicine, others created around these elemental concepts, and the language for relating to the inner world by maintaining connection to the outer and vise verse. I began to ask questions about how we with all our modern illnesses of the western identity can approach these subjects.

one of my favorite pieces of wisdom I have received on my path has been to," slip the medicine in when the mouth is open laughing." and I hope with a light heart and maybe a wink, we can meet the heavier aspects of our unique experiences of life as one world. this is what physiologically is happening when we move our lymph too. All the muck, making us tired and sore, is carried by the lymph and transformed when we lift it up through our heart and our core.
