It is the end of my three-month Deep Listening Intensive through the Center for Deep Listening. Diving into Deeply Listening to Dreams is a welcome introduction and reconnecting with the richness of dreaming, lucid dreaming, dreaming as exploration an a balance to daily life All the practices explored during the last three months are only baby steps to further deepening of meaning in life.
Signing up on a whim for this program I never could have known the richness, calm and joy it would bring as I face the most difficult medical challenge of my life.
Studio News
If you have not yet read my blog I encourage you to do so. Today is Friday, May 2nd and I am finishing a second 5-day course of chemo infusions as well as continuing a 14-day course of oral chemo. I now have an admit date for 5 days of chemo at Mass General Hospital of June 3rd with a June 10th bone marrow transplant to address MDS, Myleodysplastic Syndrome. This may change after another bone marrow biopsy later this month. What won't change is my moving to Boston and being gone from the beginning of June to September.
Kaiut Yoga classes will continue online thanks to the support of KY teacher Billie Burke who will fill in as necessary. She will take over teaching in June and offer summer classes in person and continue online classes.
I will not be offering any other events or live classes until I return, but continue to be grateful to my virtual students.
Thank you all for your support and understanding as I continue on this healing journey. Please know I have experienced no symptoms as yet, but I know that will change in June.
I invite you to follow my medical/healing journey which began in the fall of 2024 as I now am in a pre-conditioning protocol in advance of a June bone marrow transplant.
I will add to the blog monthly, feel free to to reach out, but please refer to the internet or other sources if you have medical questions.
I greatly appreciate all the support of my friends, family and extended community as I face the challenges ahead.
