I Like the Way We Mood

Hello friends, I made a short video tonight instead of writing ( because sewing won out) First: Iluminado has been open just over a week, and a beautiful review came out in Monterey County Weekly. The piece reflects what we hoped the installation would do — invite people into an experience that’s participatory, immersive, and quietly transformational. If you’re local, I hope you’ll take some time to experience it at the Monterey Museum of Art and let it meet you where you are. And if you’re looking for an excuse to visit Monterey Bay, this is a great one. Second: It's time to take the current collection public. I've added a few more styles to replace the ones that sold out, and will continue to replenish the shelves with new items for another week ( so keep checking back)
Now — the video ! In it, I talk about what the final stretch of Iluminado taught me: During the install, I stopped teaching and stopped moving. My body hardened. Perspective narrowed. Everything felt like failure — even when it wasn’t. It wasn’t until I started moving again that fluidity returned… along with laughter, emotional range, and clarity. That experience underscored something I keep learning over and over: As we head into the holidays — with all their intensity, tenderness, and complexity — I hope you’ll give your body the attention it needs. Not to perfect it or manage it, but simply to keep it soft enough to feel, to respond honestly, and to receive what’s actually here. Thank you for being with me — whether you found me through movement, art, clothing, or the strange overlap of all three. It’s all part of the same inquiry: learning how to love being human. With warmth, Was this email forwarded to you? |

Years ago I read a story by Tom Robbins that apparently lodged itself somewhere deep in my nervous system. A woman sits down at a bar and orders asparagus. The man beside her keeps inching closer and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. 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....
