Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2026/01/16

Hello and good evening, friends.I’ve had a hard time finding words today. There’s so much going on in the world, in our collective and separate lives. It’s hard to know where to begin.I know there’s a lot to do in our day to day lives and also with the wider issues at hand. It can be exhausting to simply keep up with the news. So what do we do when that’s the case? I think we have to find ourselves where we are and find ways to resource ourselves.I had someone ask me recently if the people I’m

01.12.26 - Monday Morning Possibility

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2026/01/12

Hello and good morning. How are you?We are spending time this morning with possibility. In the rush of Monday (or any day), sometimes it feels hard to not just be with what we expect.Maybe we’re expecting it to be a Monday sort of day. Maybe we’re expecting work to be this or an appointment to be like that. What if we let go of the expectation and let what’s possible unfold?To me, that feels more spacious than the “knowing” of expectation. It feels more open and a place to breathe. How does it feel

Hi, friends.To say it’s been a week is perhaps the understatement of the year thus far. If you’re feeling the stress of the news, work, life, whatever it might be, I hope this meditation helps you to find a way to breathe a little freer. There’s no way to attend to any of the things that are going on in this world if we can’t find ourselves where we are.So let’s take some breaths, find our exhale, and give ourselves a few moments just to be.Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.(This meditation is

2026/01/02

Hello and good morning!As we wrap up the holidays, I thought perhaps a little something to help us land might be nice.Today’s invitation is to find a soft place in this meditation that holds something you might need.

2026/01/01

Hello friends.We’ve made it. 2026. How wild. I never would have expected this year. I have a hard time imagining what the future holds, so it never fails to amaze me where I land. How about you? How do you feel today, at this start of something new?Our meditation to start the year is one from the archive, as my voice is not yet ready to create. While I’m not grateful to have been sick this past week, I am grateful for the chance to slow down and be still and think about what it is I’d like to bring

2025/12/29

Hello and good morning, friends.We are in that liminal space at the end of the year where I feel as if no one quite knows what day it is and if it is the day you think it is, it’s still not your usual day. Perhaps this is not your usual Monday.I have found myself in both that weird end of year feeling and also the time dictated by an end of the year cold. I don’t know what time it is. I’m waking up at odd hours. It’s a weird time.But I think that these times, the ones where we find ourselves sort of

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2025/12/22

Hello and good morning, friends.We’ve made it. Today starts the return of the sun, each day a little brighter. I’m thinking today about what we’re bringing with us into the light, what we’re planting. How can we hold those things gently and with the space they need to grow?We’re practicing a little bit of that with the breath today, not getting too caught up in our distractions, but letting them go with ease, staying open and gentle as the breath itself can be.Thank you for being here. 💗 Take

Hello and good morning. How has your week been?Our meditation today invites you to tune into the breath and let it out.

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2025/12/08

Hello hello. Good morning!Today, we find ourselves together on a most auspicious day. In the Zen tradition, this is Bodhi Day, or the day we recognize as when the Buddha became enlightened.Meditation existed before the Buddha, but his enlightenment was something new. It is said that he sat all through the night, as many practitioners do on this day and then… “At dawn, looking at the morning star, he exclaimed: ‘How wonderful! I and all beings have simultaneously realized the Way.’”There is, of

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2025/12/05

Hello and good morning, friends. As I was trying to record for you today, I realized something that was happening: the sitting was getting to me. 😜 I’ve been talking a bit this week about Rohatsu, the time leading up to the Buddha’s enlightenment in the Zen tradition. Normally, I would be on retreat, but this year finds me at home and sitting with community online. It’s been quite a bit more meditation each day than is my usual and I fear that this morning I am struck by so many things at once: the

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2025/12/01

Hello and good morning! How are you, friends?It is hard to believe that we are here at the beginning of December. What a wild year it’s been. I have been thinking a lot obver the last day or so about what I’d like the end of the year to hold, in feeling, in activity, etc.I started to put together the class schedule for this month and just really thought about what my heart wanted to do. I tried to listen. In the next couple of days, you’ll receive a more proper update on December offerings, but

2025/11/28

Hello and good morning, friends. How have you been?For many of us, yesterday may have held what felt like a lot. Even if we didn’t take part in the holiday or if it wasn’t hectic, there can be a lot of lead up. The collective energy has a way of impacting us whether we’re engaging in certain activities or not.Whatever your day might have held yesterday or what today might hold as well, we’re here together for a little breath and to find some sense of centeredness. We’re connecting into the deep part

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2025/11/24

Hello and good morning, friends. How are you?I thought that it might be nice to start this holiday week off with a little time to just find some quiet. Even if it feels like your mind is going going going, maybe there’s a little space there between the breaths or the thoughts. There’s no judgment here for how busy (or not) your mind or body might feel. I hope you’ll allow these moments together to be easy and gentle, a flow that you can take with you into the day and rest of the week.As I know

Hello and good morning to you. How are you?We’re starting our day and our meditation off a little differently this morning.The invitation today is to find a little happiness before we settle in and to let that feeling be with us in this meditation. It’s easy to get sort of sucked up into the things that bring us down, especially in the world today.I know that my struggles with chronic migraine lately have brought a lot of unhappy times. Maybe you’ve got something in your life that has left you

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2025/11/17

Hello and good morning, friends.When I received jukai in March of 2022 from Roshi Joan Halifax, she gave me the dharma name Joko. So much was happening in that moment that things feel fuzzy, but I remember so clearly the mental image as she described its meaning as a quiet lake.This morning, that image of the quiet lake is here with me. The calm waters, barely believable in their stillness. We’re not so different from that lake, which inevitably will start to have waves and unexpected visitors

11.10.25 - Monday Meditation - Quiet + Ease

Make Space Meditation + Care ·

2025/11/10

Hello and good morning!I’m thinking this morning about what it is to find this idea of quiet or ease in our wild world. To me right now, it feels like letting my shoulders relax, taking a few minutes to breath. It’s breathing deeply and being with the breath. It’s taking a moment to notice the sky. Maybe these sound right to you too or maybe there’s something else that comes to mind that might help your Monday be a little more calm and easy. Whatever you might need this Monday or this week, I hope
