The decision to set boundaries of rest, pause and healing; of mindfulness, being thoughtfully aware and recognizing the constructs of illusion; of connection, grounding to the Earth and practicing good stewardship inside and out; of nourishment, water, sunlight, stars and songs; of movement, dancing, stretching, climbing and building our strength; of wholeness, opting for joy in a system built on trauma; of choosing ourselves and celebrating our own beauty; of togetherness in the face of divisiveness; of empowerment, creating our own work, growing our own food, supporting our own communities; of breathing deeply and so much more, is crucial.

Through the works that I am creating this year, I hope to inspire important dialogue and action around the many ways we can fill our own cups so that we are in a healthy position to be resources for each other as we work to dismantle harmful systems of oppression.
