If this week asked a lot of you, let this minute be for you.
Take a breath slow enough to notice — not enough to solve, just enough to feel.

You deserve small moments like this.

Not every path is meant to be efficient.
Some are meant to slow you down just enough to hear yourself again.

When you soften your pace, what becomes visible that wasn’t before?

Some days don’t ask us to do more.
They ask us to slow the body, soften the breath, and notice what already feels steady and enough.

Today can be gentle, if you let it.

❄️ This Sunday | Winter Solstice Gathering ✨
Registration closes tonight at 10pm — don’t miss it.

Mark the turning of the season with a nourishing, heart-centered experience. Join Kathryn Bikle, Natasha Morisawa & Shana Pallotta this Sunday, December 21 from 10am–1pm at the Monrovia Library Community Room for a Labyrinth Meditation & Sound Bath designed to restore balance, calm the nervous system, and spark new intentions.

This is a wonderful experience to share with a friend or loved one—or to give as a thoughtful, experiential gift that lingers long after the day is over. Walk the labyrinth, settle into the resonant tones of crystal bowls and gongs, and take time to pause, reflect, and realign at the Winter Solstice. ❄️

🌟Sign up by tonight at 10pm to join us.

🌿 Introducing the SGV Ecotherapy Collective 🌿

A new community is forming — and you're invited to grow with us.
The SGV Ecotherapy Collective is coming to life to connect, support, and co-create wellness rooted in equitable, reciprocal relationships with more-than-human nature. 🌎🦋

✨ This grassroots project is starting as part of The Place Within, a community mental health center in Monrovia, CA. But it’s designed to evolve, move, and shift as the community needs — and you're part of that vision.

💚 Who is it for?
Open to all practitioners of wellness who identify with the field of Ecotherapy — not limited to licensed mental or behavioral health professionals. If your work intersects with healing and the Earth, there’s space for you here.

🌱 What to expect:
We're creating intentional spaces — online and in-person — for community building, resource sharing, and learning. Early ideas include:
🔹 Nature-based meet-ups
🔹 Discussion groups
🔹 Talking circles
🔹 Book reviews & collective learning
🔹 Presentations from local Ecotherapy practitioners & programs

This is a collaborative, evolving space. Come as you are, bring what you know, and help shape what’s to come.

💸 Participation is free or donation-based — any fees collected go directly to support the Collective, not The Place Within. Donations to the nonprofit are always welcome, but never required.

🌿 Interested in joining or learning more?
📩 Sign-up for the mailing list on our website.

Let’s reconnect — to nature, to each other, and to the healing power between. 🌎✨
