Living a Metaphysical Life

I really love exporing what it means to live a metaphysical life.  Our new age world is full of concepts and advice about this.  I'm interested in what that actually means in daily life.  How do we deliberately use the Law of Attraction?  It's great to want to  focus on the positive, but what do you do when you've got a lot of emotions that feel overwhelming?  How do you heal and make peace with yourself knowing that your beliefs--conscious and unconscious--create your reality and attract ALL situations to you?  How can we harness our incredible creative capacity to experience life more joyfully, to contribute and provide service, to embody all that we are with wonder and awe?  What does it mean and how does it feel to be an artist of everyday life?  It's a wild ride we're on together here in the 21st century.  Do you want to learn how to surf?  I've been practicing for awhile now and I'm getting better at it every day--come on in, the water's fine!

Thumbnail biography

I grew up in Seattle in an academic family and a working-class African-American neighborhood where I attended public school.  I drew on my early life in my first career as a professor of women’s and gender studies at Columbia University focusing on 19th century African-American women’s writing and the literature of slavery.  After realizing that Ihad a soul and a spiritual life, I discovered metaphysics, left New York and academe, and moved to San Francisco.  There I reconnected with dance, a passion from my twenties, in the freeform barefoot dance community of Berkeley’s Dance Jam and the Northern California Dance Collective’s dance camps.  I also studied shamanic practices (including working with nonphysical guides and teachers), worked as a writer and editor, and discovered Clarity Breathwork.  I now lives in Oakland with my beautiful husband, DJ Geej Mauriva, my angel child, Emma Ostara, and her ancient cat, Cornelia.
