Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear beautiful –
From the bottom of my wisdom heart, thank you for signing up for BodyStory: Hunger. I cannot wait to join you on this journey as we dive deeply into ourselves, our bodies, and our desires.
Our focus together during this series will be using the lens of Ayurveda to rekindle and rediscover that deep seated fire that fuels your hunger for life. After living through the last year and a half, we all need a reintroduction to the wisdom of our own bodies. There’s no better place to start than by reigniting our relationship with agni, the digestive fire that is responsible for our personal power.
Each week we’ll gather for a live session with ample opportunities to connect, learn, and ask questions. These will be supplemented by emailed Ayurvedic recipes and videos to support the physical rekindling of your inner fire.
You’ll find all the details you need to join the classes below:
When: Six Thursdays, beginning October 20 through December 2 (skipping the week of November 25 due to U.S. Thanksgiving) 4:00 – 5:15 p.m. PT
Where: Zoom
Password: 233773
What to bring: A notebook and pen (some weeks may require additional items that will be included in the reminder email)
You’ll get a reminder the day of, but mark your calendar now so the time is blocked off. While I recommend you attend live, I understand what life often throws at us. I will record each session and post it within 24 hours.
I can’t wait to see the light of your fire.
Much love,
Sonja
In Your Words
“I am a changed person because of Sonja and so are my relationships.”
"I was surprised by how well Sonja really listened to me, and not just my words. She is present, and thus can find the deeper expression among all the rambling and 'I don’t knows.'"
"Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.
After each session, I feel more in touch with my intuition and filled with optimism."
The Journal
The Easy Dinner Template
The only thing that is more challenging than spending all morning at a Mexican government office waiting for your visas to be processed is spending the whole morning at a Mexican government office waiting for your visas to be processed with a toddler…whose parents forgot her snack.
There is very little one can do about this kind of situation besides take a number, go to the bodega across the street, buy a couple bananas, and wait.
The twos
I write this as my daughter is crying in the bedroom. My husband is in there with her, trying to coax her to put on her pajamas and get into bed. At the surface is her desire to watch a cartoon show, a rare treat for her. We don’t own a television and rarely even show her our phones, but she is learning to use the potty and her reward for a good poop is to see an episode of a show about this friendly tiger kid she loves.
On our best behavior
We have moved. Twice. Once from a tiny island across an ocean, then to a different country. My daughter is 2½, and cannot understand what would make us uproot everything she’s ever known and move to a place where her mother’s seven years of Spanish classes fail to meet all her needs.
It has been a very intense time of mothering. She cries for me nonstop. She clings to my neck like a 30-lb monkey, terrified about the way the stairs look, or that strange sound in the distance. She wakes in the night and yells my name. It is as if she needs to know that I did not sneak off while she was sleeping and hop on another airplane. Yes, my love, I say, Your mama is here.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
The Bhagavad Gita 2:40
