connected to the earth

his is a practice to retrain your body and how it moves, to take you out of movement patterns that have created disconnection and pain, we approach the body at the root cause - the nervous system.

On October 17, 2020, during the moment of my spiritual awakening, I saw a vision of ocean waves crashing on the shoreline from above while energy rising from my pelvis through the crown of my head. The ocean revealed to me how intimately our bodies are connected to the earth. That image has never left me, and it continues to guide the heart of my work.

In 2025, I felt drawn to watch Ocean with David Attenborough. The film showed me two truths: the harm being done to our waters, and the ocean’s extraordinary ability to heal when given protection. It struck me in a way words can’t fully express, but it revealed the deeper why of Creative Core: people must learn to feel again. When we return to our own bodies with awareness and compassion, we expand our capacity to feel for each other, and for the Earth herself.
