“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
—Rachel Carson
I have curly hair again and only visit the hospital monthly. Reflecting on a year ago when facing the unknown and finding the tools to allay my fears, ground me in the love and support of friends and family while finding the resolve to be present with the offerings of nature and daily life today I only feel at peace. Snows have come and gone as rains, and wind leave a taste of spring in the air, while snowdrops harken the change of seasons, more welcome than I can remember. As I continue to keep a distance from crowds and community gatherings I've enjoyed taking an online dog reactivity course through the Fenzi Academy to help Luka be more at ease.

In January I began studying the Rites of the Munay-Ki, offered through the Four Winds Society, and have felt so renewed and grounded that I have embarked on their six-month Energy Medicine training which runs through September. I look forward to sharing this work in the future.

Peaked Hill Yoga is all about biomechanical health
(or said another way, your freedom of movement).
It has been designed to work through chronic pain and injuries, general aches and stiffness, and
work for the inflexible, hyper flexible and the aging body.
All levels of experience
or no prior experience, all are welcome.
Sound Healing
*Restorative Sound Journey*
There are no scheduled events
at the Chilmark studio during Spring 2026

Spend time outdoors, listen to the sounds of spring, smell the flowers and take time to notice the world around you.
