Today we had our first Awakin of 2016 and it was both grounded and surrounded in the spirit of transformation. A beautiful evening of sharing, eating and sitting in beautiful harmony. Excited to watch our circles continue to evolve and grow along side a community adapting and shifting simultaneously. A tradition at our Awakin is to reflect on small gratitudes. Taking time to honor the small moments or the unsung heroes who enrich our lives in a myriad of ways. Despite the numbing cold and darkness that sinks into our bones, the light and warmth in these circles always leaves me re-energized. So grateful to continue to hold this space with my co-anchors in the city I call home.
