Hi, Reader — Happy equinox! 🍂 I hope some of you were able to join us at Morpho Bleu for our fall market and classes. What a beautiful, full few days. These transitional moments are always packed with energy, and it felt like such a good way to channel some of it together. Fall always brings a little reflection and nostalgia with it, after the presence and spontaneity of summer. And here we are at the start of the season, with a bite in the morning air and the leaves just beginning to turn....

Hi, Reader — Here we are: The Imprint begins tomorrow! Already? September has a way of zipping by! With this week’s New Moon, we’ve been talking about the effects of Virgo season – it’s about getting back to practical business. And yes, that means it’s time for The Imprint. We’re heading toward the seasonal turn, here we go! For five mornings this coming week, from September 14 to 18, we’re gathering for The Imprint: Fall, and our practice is centred around ancestral karma: the patterns,...

Hi, Reader — I hope your long weekend was sweet, and that you spent some time soaking in this beautiful weather and the last bits of summer. Yes, yes, I know – the fall equinox isn’t for another couple of weeks, and the lived end of summer comes now, don’t you think? So many of us return to routine, that natural shift in rhythm that happens this time of year, whether we’re ready or not! It can be a busy time! Which makes it such an ideal time to find your footing – find that anchor – with a...

Hi, Reader — September is here! Back to routine, back to reality. And if you’re like me? Back to some elevated energy, already! Here we are on the 3rd, and it already feels like a lot, doesn’t it? Liam is off to BC for hockey. Kobe is back to school. I’m trying to get the Morpho Bleu schedule sorted out, and organize my meditations for The Imprint, which starts soon – and the Jewish holidays are a week away. C’mon, September, really? How do you move through any period of stress? For me, I...

Hi, Reader — Happy Virgo season! It’s my Sun sign, so I love this time of year!! Virgo is methodical and pragmatic, and I already feel its influence over me. I’ve been getting the details in order for my fall travel, and looking ahead to 2027, organizing what’s to come and settling back into studio life. Maybe you saw my retreats email! Virgo in action. This weekend has been so fun – did you come say hi at the Imagine Monkland festival in NDG? What true joy to connect with people and see so...

Hi, Reader — August is cottage time for me! My family’s annual bubble. A slower time by the lake, with bonfires, Ry, Kobe and Liam, and neighbours – and the particular rhythm that only late summer drums. No wonder it’s an entire separate season in Traditional Chinese Medicine! (I’m also headed to New York for a very quick weekend trip, which I’m really looking forward to!) For me, though, August has always been a month for leaning into family before September begins and everything goes back...

Hi, Reader — It feels good to be home in July! Back in regular rhythms, practices and teachings. Back in the studio and the everyday life that holds me. As you may know if you’ve been around these parts a while, I’ve been paying closer attention to my summer energy in recent years, and really taking care not to burn myself out. July can carry so much action and passion, and I can feel how much my body has been asking for rest. Especially after travel! So I’ve been returning to The Imprint...

Hi, Reader — I am home. After a rich and beautiful stretch of travel through Europe in France and Spain, I am back in Montreal, back to the studio, and back to daily life. Travel is such a gift. It takes us out of our patterns and reminds us that the world is wider than we usually think. Our routines and habits give us important structure. They can also keep our world small. There are other rhythms, other ways to move through a day, other ways to belong to time. We must make room for those...

Hi, Reader — I’m back from Lac Brome, and landing here – for just a minute – before leaving for France with Kimiko! That’s why I offered The Imprint a week early this season, rather than trying to battle time zones and come on live with you next week. And as always, the timing feels perfect in its own way. This summer’s Imprint shares some beautiful themes with the upcoming Gemini new moon. Inside The Imprint, we are working with a meditation I affectionately call the Chicken Dance 🐔 – ahaha...
