Dawn of the Head (13 minutes)

Hi Everyone, I’m in the middle of one of those months. At the beginning of the year, the Universe made itself very clear: By March, I got impatient. ( In my defense, Reader… I do have bills to pay down here on Earth.) And now I’m in it. • Yoga Trapeze workshops this weekend. I love every part of what I do. I had every intention of taking this week off from writing. But Thursday’s Galileo class offered up something I didn’t want to sit on—a short, 13-minute chair sequence that brings ease and mobility back to the upper body in a very direct way. So I uploaded it to YouTube. If you feel like it, you too can start your morning with Dawn of the Head. Next Sunday, I’ll share more about the art project (it will be open to the public—May 2 in Berkeley), along with a bit more detail about the one-day Somatic Retreat in Carmel Valley on 04/25. In the meantime, I’m going to keep riding the wave I apparently asked for. Domini Anne P.S. If you’ve been feeling a little like you’re being pulled in five directions at once, this one might meet you exactly where you are. Was this email forwarded to you? |

Halfway through dinner he leans over and says: "You and I have something very intimate in common that you don't know yet." Suspicious already. "Tomorrow morning our urine will smell exactly the same." Which brings me to an important point: The rubber...
There’s a particular kind of compliment that bypasses vanity entirely and lands somewhere much deeper. Not because it flatters you…but because it names something you’ve quietly recognized in yourself for a very long time. In a recent review of From Molecule to Movement — the short film Hanif and I created for the Shulgin Foundation about Sasha Shulgin, MDMA, and the strange, beautiful collision between chemistry, therapy, culture, and consciousness - I was described as a “ Movement and Design...
Read time: ~4 minutes Musing: astronauts, somanauts, and inner space Listen: Sasha Shulgin, 1983 Join: April 25 retreat + May 2 exhibit Over the past couple of weeks, something subtle has been moving through my world. A kind of shared pause. A collective exhale. For a brief moment, many of us found ourselves captivated by the language of orbit—liftoff, a release from the pressure of the known atmosphere. The Artemis program became more than a mission, it became a metaphor. For exploration....
