Tuning In, Workshop 2, Sunday, 1 to 4pm

19 Peeps

core lulu peeps, regular students, and a few new to me and the studio.
the point of these "tuning" workshops is to help me share what i am really practicing. and in that sharing, hopefully helping others feel the connection to themselves. i am incredibly grateful that people show up.

i tried to share some of the unraveling i have been experiencing this summer. they came out small and bite size...somehow did not feel right to share the whole story...so practice ended up being quieter and less personally revealing than last one.
