Do you have a little one inside you? Does she feel scared, lonely, or worried even though things are generally ok? Tomorrow is my birthday, so I’m remembering being that little one… so dependent in all ways. How can we give ourselves what we needed most, and did not get enough of? This spring I shared Spark Story at […]
It’s nearly 2017. With all that’s happening in the world, things can sometimes feel unbearable. What can we do? Remember these Five Secret Ways of the Heart. Remember to Breathe, or Die In moments of stress or fear or anxiety, or when people act like total ______, when everything seems too much or goes wrong (it’s […]
In case you’ve been under a Rock (as I often am, avoiding news media), you may not have heard about #WaterIsLife. The Standing Rock Sioux Nation is protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The proposed pipeline was illegally permitted, would endanger the drinking water provided by the Missouri River and disturb sacred sites. As an environmentalist, and a […]
Do you hold your tummy in all the time? Or some other part – your jaw, shoulders, neck? I call this habit THE CLENCH. I’m on a Quest to smooth it out. The other day, one of my singing partners – a petite, lithe 50ish dancer – showed us her round, soft belly. We softened our bellies […]
Such sweet outpouring of appreciation for the artist David Bowie. (last night at Om Culture in Seattle our vocal troupe sang a mashup of his songs that had stirred our young blood, then we danced like teenagers to his music old and new).

Fall is a time of changes, leaves falling, blah blah blah. I hope you’ve been doing just GREAT with all that. While I’m excited about my upcoming workshop at Dayaalu Center in October, which you are absolutely invited to, I’ve also been whining. A little. While others here in the ‘Northwet’ region welcome the rain and its quieter settling-in time, […]

Tonight, Ignite Bainbridge 3: “Just Say Ahhh: Tapping the Flow of Well-being.” First, some easy Ahhs: Favorite beverage. Internet treats. The Big Win. In-TheMoment Ahhh: Notice your energy. Say “Ahhh” and lean back into the present moment. For me, the Ultimate Ahhh is when I follow my Heart’s Desire (like tonight, sharing my voice in […]
Last week girls a gaggle of 8-11 year old girls descended on our property for our annual Summer Spark Day Camp. I learned as much – or more – about Spark than the kids. Not by leading, but by following. The intention is to prepare preteen girls for the social-emotional challenges that can pop up […]
I’m called to work with girls and women of all ages, because I believe the world needs our gifts, skills and feminine ways, to show up in full capacity. I’m especially passionate about girls on the verge of their teens. Why? Because I was SO lost at that age. I lived in front of the TV […]
