: : : brave enough

Hello from Lake Lullaby,

The answers to environmental distress lie in something deeper than strategy. It is in becoming wildflower, storm and sea.

The answers to social polarity and relational schism arise when we dive into the shadowy origin story and then cradle splintering wounds from the dawn of life. Or wherever fractures appeared on the lifeline.

The answers to dysfunctional power dynamics and leaders that don’t listen lie in witnessing one another in our tribes, homes, and circles across the aisles of division be they belief, socioeconomic or generational, with respect and awe and bowing to what is true in self and other.

Yes to all the other motions of activism but without the deep rooting out, holding and adoring of what’s maladaptive here at home (hint- much of that is still in the unconscious), we will fail. Without the alchemy of new innerworld rhythms, we are stuck on repeat. And can we do that reorganization and practice meeting our world at the same time? I think we can. And I definitely think it’s worth a try.

But how do we get to the unconscious? What speaks to the dark corners of psyche and emotional inheritance. Art, music, poetry, nature, body, silence, and circles. Circles benefit from the poem that is intentional hearts and the mirrors we see in one another. And when all of these are woven together, by golly, I think we done got us a revolution on our hands. Not the one that is one side against another- but the one that starts at the root and is so powerful and so comprehensive and so utterly earthshakingly gobsmackedly unmistakably thorough- the revolution that moves through every peak, valley, heart and cell, where the whole globe is subject to a shake down. The one that changes everything. Not one team / ideology over another, but the quiet force that opens a planet every spring - EVERYTHING and EVERYONEforever changed and new- a perfumed and potent presence- from the inside out- and then outside in and then everything leapfrogging its way backward and forward, side to side, in and through- sometimes drips, others with the force of tsunami’s piled high- cool as dew and piping hot as magma- every paradox, every earthbound power, collected and combined, distilled and distributed- a remembrance of what we truly are. A reckoning. A restful and indisputable shedding, building, and arriving into sweeter and more stable states of bloom.
The one that is in service to life.
The one that sees.
The one that loves.
The one that cares.

Be the one.

Join us for EarthBound Broads to dance with spring and learn the most profound lesson of them all.

What folks have said:

I joined Julia's EBB retreat because I needed a reset. I do liberation work to transform human service systems and my spirit needed a reboot. The 5 weeks were amazing, nurturing, restabilizing, and healing in ways I didn't recognize needed healing. We laughed (a lot!), we cried and we held each other throughout. Thank you so, Julia! For me - it was a perfect length, with high quality content, availability of time on and off the mat, and lots of love. ~ Clarice Bailey

Whoa! Julia created such a beautiful space to relax into, one of safety, laughter, vulnerability and a beautiful weaving of scientific and yogic philosophy. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with an online retreat but was pleasantly surprised at how nourishing, fun and love-filled our time together on Zoom was. Julia is a poet with words; her enthusiasm for personal growth, joy and evolution is infectious. I would end our calls zinging with aliveness, feeling both empowered in who I was in the moment while excited to stretch into areas of deeper growth. This workshop is a compassionate and electrifying gift to give yourself…you won’t be disappointed. ~ Alissa Davies

I was so pleasantly surprised by the subtly transformative experience of the EBB retreat. Julia, as usual, offered many options to experience each theme and practice in the course, while giving each of us a personalized experience. I found a relaxed way to break some habitual thinking and actions, and a renewed sense of calm. Julia facilitated a beautiful safe space and engagement between all the women in the group. I plan to continue to revisit the practices from EBB, and look forward to a second curriculum. ~ Marielle Lerner

I can't recommend this time with Julia and her EBB group more! YOU NEED THIS. During a time of disconnect and fragmentation, this was an authentic opportunity to settle into a safe and loving community. It was a major shift for me. ~Sarah O’Brien

With age, she gathers the wisdom of all her yesterdays—
A lover when her heart is given,
A girl in her tears, generous in her joy.
She reigns as queen and dances as princess,
Her chemistry a sacred enigma,
Known only to the hearts brave enough to love her truly.

~ Rumi

Let’s get brave enough to start that love right here right now.

To the knowing… and to doing it together,

Love J
