WHAT'S BLOWING AND GROWING MY MIND.
LUCENT , an ode to Nan Shepherd's The Living Mountain, is an anthology of poems, prose, and short fiction featuring up-and-coming women writers celebrating the senses in relation to each their experiences of Scotland.
Published by female-focused 8d press, which produces "delicate and beautiful little, numbered and dated books of prose poetry and short stories that [dig] deep into the human condition and [allow] a glimpse at another type of life."
Spearheaded by founder and editor Jo Chumas and featuring my dear friend Melanie Wells-Alvarado, a writer, artist, photographer, sailor and mum who lives in Costa Rica and who has a strong link to Scotland. She writes children’s stories, adventures, adult fiction and inspirational tales, always infusing them with a poetic twist. She writes and posts regularly on her blog: JUST BEFORE SUNRISE.

WHAT'S GOT ME PAYING ATTENTION.
I'm listening to Tarana narrate her story on Google Play. It is powerful to say the least.
Tarana is the founder of the ''me too' movement and subsequent nonprofit, She works to dismantle the cycle of sexual violence and other systemic issues that disproportionately impact marginalized people. Tarana's passion for community organizing began in the late 1980s, when as a young girl she joined a youth development organization called 21st Century. Since then she has launched initiatives around issues of racial discrimination, housing inequality, and economic justice. Her work has connected a vast network of influential people, including much of Hollywood, the founder of the Women's March Tamika Mallory, leading intellectuals and authors like Ishmael Beah and Gloria Steinem. She was 2017 TIME Person of the Year and the winner of the 2019 Sydney Peace Prize, and has been the recipient of countless other accolades. She is the co-editor with Brené Brown of the instant New York Times bestseller You Are Your Best Thing.

Why Wild Sage?
I am a freelance writer-editor and certified yoga teacher based in Sonoma County, CA.

I am a freelance writer-editor and certified yoga teacher based in Sonoma County, CA. I facilitate yoga classes, healing arts workshops, and women’s circles based on belief in the transformative, healing, and empowering nature of embodied expression in all forms: writing, art, breath, movement, ritual, and meditation.
My background is in education—teaching literacy skills and expository + creative writing. Over the last 25 years, I have worked with students of all ages, levels, backgrounds, and abilities.
My longtime yoga practice, cultivated in the crucible of grad school and a sweaty Bikram studio 20 years ago, yielded into a daily devotion that naturally evolved into teaching. I was trained and certified in Shri Yoga, a synthesis of Hatha traditions rooted in the eight limbs of yoga and including principles of Anusara (consciousness) and Viniyoga (adaptation).
I am by nature a collaborator and relationship builder. I write, practice, teach, volunteer, and facilitate workshops to energize, awaken, inspire, and co-create personal and communal
(rev)elation + (r)evolution.

My studentship and teaching is rooted in deep respect and appreciation for yoga's roots and all of its limbs, which I strive to learn and integrate into my life on the daily.
I operate from an ever-growing understanding that yoga is a living, mutable practice, at once physical, soulful, and
unique to each individual.
Whatever the reason for coming to the mat, yoga is a great gift of self-wisdom available to every body and every being.
Through breath, movement, and dedication, yoga works to calm the mind, engage the body, and cultivate an awareness which helps us to accomplish great feats of humanness:
FOCUS, STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY,
PEACE, HEALING, BALANCE,
VIBRANCY, CONNECTION.
Yoga is not only good exercise and personal medicine, it is an expression of how we each live our lives—providing us with
challenges, choices, insights, and rewards both on and off the mat.
