Imperfect Beauty

Dear Reader,

The American Beauty Berry is a bright spot of fall color here in East Texas. We don’t usually get bold splashes of fall color around here. You have to look more closely to find the brilliance. And, even when you find the beauty, it’s not quite perfect. Some of the berries might be faded; some of the leaves are partially eaten away. Beautiful nonetheless.

We’re like that too. Flawed and beautiful. Worthy of taking up space on the planet. Worthy of taking a closer look, to find the brilliance. Worthy of taking some time for ourselves.

And speaking of beauty, one of my favorite places is western North Carolina. The specific spot that I often visit is still there and still beautiful. But, as you know, so much of that area has suffered incredible damage. I’d like to help at least in some small way. Perhaps you’d like to join me in that effort.

On Thursday evening, October 17, I’ll offer a special “Helping Hands” Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson to benefit those impacted by Hurricane Helene. I’ll post registration details in the next day or so.

Also, for any private sessions scheduled from now through November 1, I’ll donate 10% of my fee to Hurricane Helene disaster relief.

If you’d like to join me for some Coaching, Creativity or Feldenkrais, here’s what’s coming up:

Every Tuesday, with rare exceptions, we have our online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson, and it’s still Free/Pay as You Wish.

In person at the Jung Center of Houston, another Feldenkrais Mini-Retreat: Moving From the Heart, on Saturday afternoon, November 16, 2024.

Also in person at the Jung Center of Houston, Creating a New Cloth: Nuno Felt Technique. This one is always fun, and sometimes surprising.

If you’d like to work with me privately, you can Book an Appointment for a Feldenkrais or Coaching session, or for a free consult. You can even set up a time for a private, or semi-private felting session. Or you can simply reply to this email and let me know what’s most interesting to you.

Have all the fun you can!
