Dear friends,
I was on run yesterday evening when I turned the corner and there sat La Luna, brilliant and bold, in the frame of the trees, like the road was pointing straight to her. The dusk sky made her approachable, not overwhelming, and my feet just stopped their moving, in awe. I stood in the road and began the conversation about as reverently as you would speak to the Pope or Dali Lama. "Good evening. How are you?", I swooned. "You are just radiant.", and I reminded myself that as I spoke the words I was really speaking to myself-the light within, that mirrors that of hers.
For many years I have found myself staring up at the moon, like a prayer portal, like a letter to Santa, asking for whatever I needed at that time. In the moment I can admit that while my passion was there, there seemed to be this resistance from her, like two magnets with the same polarity. I should have known. I preach it all the time to you. My approach had been quite backwards. Last night I got it right.
As I stood in the middle of the road, dodging the occasional car, I let the moon speak through my mouth the words I needed to hear. She told me about receiving. She reminded me that what I am experiencing RIGHT NOW is exactly what I need, not this, that or the other. She encouraged me to trust and be vulnerable and say thank you for what has been given, even though I may not be used to it or comfortable with it.
So if I can offer some advice, when talking to the moon, pretend like you are talking to your wise grandmother. She cannot bring you what you think you want, but she will certainly remind you that you'll miss out on receiving if you keep asking. La luna is the supreme feminine who lives inside of us to tell us how to be willing and grateful. Now, when YOU catch her bright body in the sky, pause and ask, "What do I need to be open to receiving right now?" And trust that it could be present but ignored, or already on its way.

Please read the following update all the way through
|
With some really great feedback, some alterations to the fee schedule will be taking place beginning January 1. This transition make take some time, and certainly some patience, but I did my best to make this fair. ("Fair is fair to both people", my elderly and wise
neighbor used to tell me)
Here are the new rates and then we'll discuss integrating them.
Drop in-- $12
5 Class Pre-pay package
, 3 month expiration from purchase date-- $55
"Eight Fold Path" Monthly Membership
, up to 8 classes/month--Individual: $77; Spouse/child: $50
"The Shift Dozen" Monthly Membership
, up to 12 classes/month--Individual: $88; Spouse/child: $60
"Infinity" Monthly Membership
, unlimited classes/month--
Individual: $103; Spouse/child: $70
Spouses/children must be partnered with an active monthly member with equal or greater classes per month. For example, if you had the "Shift Dozen" (12 class monthly) membership, your spouse could have the
same or the "Eight Fold Path" (8 class monthly) membership, but not the "Infinity" (unlimited) at the spouse rate.
The new universal bill date will be the 1st of each month. This means that any monthly plans will automatically draft on the 1st, and if you start the plan on any day of the month other than the 1st, your initial payment will be pro-rated. Please speak to me personally if you absolutely cannot do a 1st of the month bill date.
Picking the right option for you: there are now several tiers of payment options, and they all place more value on the classes than before (because they are valuable!). Look over the schedule and think about whether you tend to come once, twice, thrice or gobs of times over the course of a week. Then remind yourself that this is the best kind of medicine. It's the prescription that keeps your life longer, richer, less achy and more whole inside. Decide how much you are willing to invest in yourself and your health.
What if you pick a plan and then go over your monthly allotment? I've thought of that. If you pick the 8-class monthly, for example, and find your way into a great class that makes #9 for the month, we will simply charge you $10 for that extra class. You can even pre-buy it from home if you know you've used up your monthly membership. And changing/canceling plans can be done from home as well, if you feel comfortable. Otherwise you can email the studio or speak to a staff member.
Next steps: Everybody has different bill dates right now, for those with a membership. Because of this, you will have the entire month of January to make the transition. Once you know what you want to do (and hopefully you know your bill date if it's reoccurring), email me (
[email protected]
) your request, and we will set you up for a smooth transition. Remember, if you start a plan in the middle of the month, we will just pro-rate that first payment to the 1st.

I know everyone will find their way into a plan that fits them best, and provides the deepest level of health are available for.

Mapping (chakra toning) class on Thursdays at 10:00. More information about that soon.
