30-se7en

I guess this is the Burning Man addition :)

1. Burning Man. I swear it gets better & better every time. This year was the most gentle, grounded, sweet experience. I camped with the best people ever & had the most amazing time.

2. Camp Gratitude. I can't even put this into words, but I camnped with the best people ever. Our camp was so grounded, full of clearing & healing. We ate all fresh, organic food all week long, had amazing communal meals, days full of playing guitar & singing about love in all it's forms. Can't wait til next year!

3. Jason Mraz for coming to play & sing at our camp every day. So great to meet such a positive force in delivering the message of love to the pop-culture masses in person & see that he really is an open-hearted, humble, sweet brother in person too. And his lady was oh so lovely too.

4. New connections. Amongst the beautiful angels I already knew in my camp, I got to meet a whole host of new angles on a mission to brighten the world with their light. So many beautiful conversations about healing, community, owning land and us being the ones we've waited for. We are doing it! I am so grateful for these new connections.

5. Sonya Sophia is an eARTh angel. There is no other way to describe here. One of my highlights at Burning Man this year was a 2-hour-long EFT session she led in a duststorm about tapping into our divine purpose. It was so magical, so healing & so beautiful to sit there with 100 other people doing this work in unison. I had been doing EFT for the last year & one if the women I've worked with told me about her. I am so glad I finally got to meet her - she is so amazing & I feel so called to train with her in the Bay Area when the time is right.

6. Reconnecting with some lovely beings I haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with in recent months. Sometimes space, time & distance are what we need to heal & when we come together again, it's so beautiful to meet from a new direction!

7. Dubstep massive. The bass therapy always does me right, eargasm after eargasm.

8. Rhythm Wave Camp was just a quick bike ride down the playa from us so I got to spend a lot of time with my 5 Rhythms dance familia. This practice has been such a big part of my life & it was so wonderful to be able to experience it out there & dance barefoot on the bamboo floor in the mornings. Perfect way to wake up.

9. Yoga & 5 Rhythms at the Temple. Wow, what a sight to behold! Hundreds of people doing yoga together at sunset in front of the temple, and then a healing dance party after.

10. Temple experiences. When I walked in the temple to write my prayers on it, I was come undone by the energy. I felt as if I had taken on everyone's grief & sorrow and just allowed it to move through me in the form of cleansing tears. Then this beautiful man played his music which completed my release & lifted me into such a heightened state of love.

11. Fresh young coconuts were the best thing to have out on the playa. Thank you, nature's gatorade. Hydration is key.

12. Vegan Beet Kvass is fermented, healing delicousness.

13. Love. Just so many beautiful soul connections I cannot even begin to describe.

14. Free ice cream in the hot Nevada desert surrounded by beautiful people in costumes covered in dust. Beeyouteefull!

15. Generosity. The generosity I encounter at Burning Man always makes my heart well up. We are bringing this change to the default world by living lives of service, in alignment with our souls, giving just to give.

16. The giant dancing lady was by far one of the best art pieces on the playa this year - so powerful, graceful and inspiring.

17. Sea dragon art car adventures. They always have the most amazing music - a lot of world fusiony dubstep, glitch & bass with the sweetest melody to lift you up. Mmmm.

18. Sleep. This year I actually got some!

19. Playa babies. So many special & amazing little baby beings playing in the dust this year. It brings a sweet, innocent balance to the chaos.

20. Dust storm burn. The burning of The Man was so intense. A massive dust storm passed through as he was being lit & the combination made it look like we were in some crazy apocalyptic reality, which was actually quite beautiful in so many ways.

21. Heart-opening. I finally feel so completely healed from my last relationship which ended at the end of last winter. It took several months and there were so many lessons in self-love & healing and now my heart is completely wide open for whatever love comes next. There is always more :)
