Your March Safe Together Newsletter: Spring Forward

Published over 2 years ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader,
​
I've been noticing signs of Spring's arrival everywhere. The birds are singing; there's more daylight in my day; shoots of dandelions are coming out of the soil; and little green buds are dotting bare branches. These last few weeks of Winter have felt really long and cold, so I'm super excited to see plants bloom again, even if it means allergy season is right around the corner.
​
I wanted to just drop a quick line to remind you that Daylight Savings Time begins at 2am this Sunday so set your clocks forward an hour before you go to bed, especially if you are coming to my workshop! There is still time to register for it. If you can't make it this month, the next one is on Sunday, April 14, from 11-1pm at the ​Flying Tortoise Academy​ located at 4400 NE Glisan St, Portland, OR 97213.

My Spring Cohort will start mid-April. Cohort classes meet twice a week on Friday, 5:30-6:30pm, and Sunday, 9:00-10:00am. The 6-weeks series are designed to dive deeper into the curriculum and develop reflexes by training more frequently. The course is $180 or $15/class...though if you fill out the form below to get on the waitlist, you will receive a 20% discount!

Thank you for reading! I hope to see you this Sunday, at a future workshop, or in the Spring cohort course!

With gratitude,

Dear Reader, I have an announcement regarding the pay-what-you-want monthly workshops that I've been holding since 2022. Starting this Sunday, October 4th, I'm pausing the workshops until further notice. I didn't come to this decision lightly. I've enjoyed teaching the community and showing folks what their bodies are already capable of. I learned as much as I taught about creating an accessible and safe space to learn martial arts, working with folks in all kinds of bodies, and holding space...

Hi y'all, What a heavy and weird day it's been. I was under no illusion that the election of one person over another would fix everything, but certainly the way it went made for grief, fear, discouragement, and lots of heavy feelings. My amazing friend, James-Olivia Chu Hillman, and talented teacher on the skills of relating (IG: @inquisitive_human) sent out this newsletter today and it was exactly the balm I needed. There were no platitudes, bright-siding, nor was there plunging into...

Hi Reader,Did the subject line confuse you? Don't worry, there's no time warp happening here and you are indeed receiving my September newsletter in October. With all my traveling last month, I wasn't able to write and edit my newsletter in time. You will get my full newsletter later this month. I hope you don't mind that this email is going to be short and sweet. October is already shaping up to be a busy month. Thirteen people signed up for this Sunday's workshop and two new people joined...
