Throughout the event we explored themes of unhurried movement - for mental health, social connection, creative process, Earth care, mobility justice, and more.β¨β¨Thank you, Patrons, for helping to make ALL of this possible. #WalkingArtist Vibes β¨π£ππ²π³οΈβπ #CMCamino www.patreon.com/intrinsicpaths.com
Well that was fun. We moved shoulder-to-shoulder, hugged trees, made new connections, took deep breaths, and invited singing bowl medicine w/WALK book stories. Thanks, @creativemornings.bsky.social (Boulder), for inviting me to help host this monthβs CAMINO-themed event. Loved. Every. Minute. π§΅ 1/2

Your daily reminder that we treat garbage systems better than those who move outside of single-occupant cars. Imagine at night. Imagine with kids. Imagine all varieties of disability. Infrastructure like this is all across the U.S.

Bring them all home.
Devastating RIPTA service cuts, detours, and delays, layered on top of poor post-storm infrastructure conditions, have made an already stressful transit-riding experience in Rhode Island even worse.

ποΈ Start noticing - in YOUR community - how extreme weather conditions (heat, thunderstorms, snow, ice) make getting to work, to school, to the grocery store, or to the doctor for everyone outside of cars even more dangerous, life threatening, or impossible.

These are heavy sociopolitical times. With so many unknowns ahead, finding moments to collectively breathe, ground, and witness one another feels deeply important. Join me for a casual live gathering to honor anger, sadness, fear, anxiety, and exhaustion..

As I've grown into a 40-something adult, I only find more meaning in these enormous, wise teachers. For me, they embody important invitations of boldness and gentleness. Fierce protection and cosmic compassion. Courage and calm. More: www.patreon.com/posts/147894...
I'm excited to share this new piece with you. I have loved dinosaurs my whole life. Portals to mystery, uncertainty, and wonder. Reminders of a wild and unpredictable planet. My two favorites were always brontosaurus and stegosaurus. #PenArt #WalkingArtist #InkArt
