Summer Solstice Celebration

A gathering for the solstice.

Midsummer. The sun standing still at the top of its arc before turning back. We mark it the way that fits this place: yoga in the afternoon, the creek when the day is hottest, a fire circle as the sun starts down, a wood-fired sauna into the evening, dinner together, and music into the night.

Family land thirty minutes southeast of Norman. Mila co-hosts. The land does most of the rest.

Available online, in person in Oklahoma, and as a four-week immersion in Mysore and Melkote, India.

The Healing Work

Therapeutic bodywork, and the art of healing.

I have been a student of healing arts for decades. Thai bodywork is what I am best known for, and it remains at the center of the work, but it is not the whole of it. I draw on many forms of bodywork and therapeutic technique, and I work with the philosophy, diet, and lifestyle that surround them.

Much of my work is with yoga practitioners, and with the injuries that practice tends to produce over time. I know those patterns well, and I know how to work with them.

I also teach people to work on themselves. Self-massage and therapeutic technique they can carry home and use on their own. Healing is not something done to you on a table and then finished. The most lasting results come when a person takes part in their own care, and I take real joy in that exchange.

The Mysore teachers

In Mysore, students learn from senior teachers and Sanskrit scholars. Their work, and the lineage they carry, is the reason the program exists in the form it does.

Photography

Light striking matter.

Photography is nothing other than the study of how light strikes matter: prakṛti and puruṣa. It is not difficult to see the joy of photography and video for a yogi.
