What do you carry?

It is well known. In fairytales. In stories. In history. In your family. In your work. In your body.

We carry memories. Experiences. Relationships. Trauma. Stress. Unspoken words. We carry our pain far longer than is healthy. We are often convinced, or quietly told, that this is our job. That it is our path to hold what is heavy.

What we are rarely shown is that carrying has a season. And that the season ends.

At some point the weight must be acknowledged. Named. Set down.

Tonight is the first full moon of April. It is also, as it happens, the Fool’s day and the beginning of things, the step taken before certainty arrives. I can think of no better night for this.

I am gathering a small group this evening at Hitchin Lavender for a Full Moon Meditation Workshop. We will move through simple exercises and ritual structures. We will scan the body, the memory, the relationships. We will consider what we have been carrying and what we might, carefully, begin to release.

This is the form of embodied practice I have been developing and researching for more than thirty years.

If something in this has landed, I would genuinely like you to be there.

8:30 PM this evening at Hitchin Lavender.
