These meditations were created for artists and makers as portals to deeper connection with our bodyminds, parts, hearts, and creativity. In these meditations, as with all my offerings, I pull from many channels of wisdom and grounding such as mindfulness practices, breathwork, accessible embodiment and somatic practices, parts work and IFS (internal family systems) frameworks and creative practices, all through an anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-capitalist, and queer/trans positive lens. New meditations will be published periodically. Some of my meditations will also be available on the Insight Timer app.

Recognizing that more traditional meditation is not supportive to everyone, please tune into these in the ways that help you. You can use them as journaling or creative prompts. You can listen to them while walking, stimming, pacing, sitting, laying, taking a bath, or anything else you’d like. Listen to your own wisdom. Take what works for you, leave what doesn’t, and use your creative imagination to transform any prompts to best support your bodymind in this moment.

“What will we make instead?” Meditation: 17:07 minutes

This meditation takes its inspiration from the final paragraph of Philip Metres’ book Shrapnel Maps. In this meditation, I offer invitations help us sit with our grief, rage, and fear about the many crises happening in our world at this moment. By connecting to our awake hearts that care for other beings and this planet, we may find that our grief, rage, and fear can be catalyzed to help us make art that resists, that offers support, that helps us dream a liberated, equitable, and just world into being.
