About a month ago I was a guest on the Evergreen podcast. Thanks @Dinka Salvador @Brandon Decremer. Here is the edited version on YouTube. Check it out and share! It is also on Spotify. I share about the work of Hope Reimagined and my work in Oakland and some information on Forest Bathing

Today the world celebrates Ireland. But the deepest wisdom on this island didn’t arrive with St. Patrick, or even with the Celts. It was carved into stone more than 5,000 years ago by people whose names we will never know—and whose practices mirror what neuroscience is only now beginning to understand. @Julia Livesey thought of you and Owen for this one. At Brú na Bóinne—the great passage tomb complex in the Boyne Valley—Ireland’s Neolithic people built Newgrange, a monument older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids. On its entrance stone and deep inside its inner chamber, they carved spirals. Not decoration. Not art for art’s sake. Something more. The triple spiral at Newgrange is now one of the most recognized symbols in the world. The Neuro-Somatic Integration™ framework is built on a spiral. Regulate, Relate, Reflect, Reimagine—each revolution deepening, never a straight line. The people who built Newgrange understood the spiral 2,500 years before the Celts arrived. They understood it in stone, in seasons, in the turning of the sun. They built a chamber so precise that on the winter solstice—the darkest morning of the year—a beam of light enters through a narrow roof box and illuminates the inner chamber for exactly seventeen minutes. Your Practice Today Whether or not you have Irish roots, these traditions belong to a universal human pattern—one that is at least 5,000 years old. - REGULATE:  Find a spiral—in nature, in a seashell, in a drawing. Trace it slowly with your finger. Notice what happens in your breathing. - RELATE:  Think about who gathers with you around “fire”—the people who show up for the shared warmth. Reach out to one of them today. - REFLECT:  Walk somewhere meaningful to you—a place that carries a story. Let the landscape hold the reflection. - REIMAGINE:  What is your solstice moment? What light are you waiting for—and what conditions are you building so it can enter? Go deeper with this in the Daily Dose Premium classroom

Ok so let's find out who is here. Not the typical name where you are from and what you do, but who are you? What do you want to be seen for? What do you want to be known for? And what are you practicing to bring that to an embodied place? Ok, elevating this to some folks to see if we can get some juice here. Who can start us off? @Neila Rettebah @Nestor Gonzalez @Alistair Hawkes @Kisma Reidling @Amalya King @Joyce Lee @Joody Marks @Jessica Jurcak @Lilya Kamholtz-Roberts @Sara Fredrick @Shannon Mahoney @Frances Scully Connection is so key at this moment and this is a way to deepen the online connections.
