Holiday Break and 2024 Preview

Today's podcast episode is a quick update and preview of what's to come in 2024! I will be taking a holiday break from the podcast in December, so I can get organized for upcoming episodes in the new year, plus embark on a BIG new project. Listen to this episode for a sneak peek of our upcoming guest interviews and topics you'll hear on the podcast in the New Year. I also talk about some practice opportunities, like the return of the Ease In To Meditation course, and a spring half-day online retreat. And...I am equal parts nervous and excited to reveal that I am working on a BOOK! The working title is Teaching Mindful Movement, and it is meant to be a guide for anyone interested in a mindfulness-based approach to movement practice, or an accessible and embodied way to teach mindfulness skills.  This book project will bring together many of the ideas I've shared about mindful movement here on the podcast, plus some of the topics from the Mindful Movement Teacher Training. Right now, I'm in the early stages of gathering my previous writings, organizing what I have, figuring out what's missing, and developing a format and outline. I will keep you posted as I progress! My goal is to release the book sometime in 2024. Lastly, I want to express my huge gratitude to everyone who has listened to the podcast in the last year and helped it grow! It feels wonderful to know there's a community of people out there who are intersted in these mindful movement and meditation topics. Your interest and feedback have encouraged me to dig deeper, keep learning, and keep refining my ability to write and speak about these subjects. Also, big thanks to all of my podcast guests from this year for taking the time to share your knowledge here - what a gift. I look forward to sharing new podcast episodes with you all in the New Year, and in the meantime, I wish you a peaceful holiday season and restful end of 2023. ------ To be notified when the registration opens for the Ease In To Meditation course, or when the dates are announced for half-day retreats, join the Moved To Meditate newsletter HERE.  Feel free to reach out through my website with any episode requests, topics you'd like to hear about, or guest interview suggestions.
