There are certain things that have a particular timing, pace or rhythm that is not negotiable… things like sunsets, tides, seasons, and in today’s case, clarity and healing.

I’ve taken some time off from teaching due to an RA flare…

This Sunday, November 9, is Global Grace Day… an international day of inner and outer reconciliation, peace, and hope for a future free of avoidable suffering. It’s also the 36th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. And, completely…

I had planned to be out of town this weekend, but at the last minute, I changed my mind. Yes, I could have cleaned my house (I hate coming home to a messy house), packed my car, and driven to…

Lately, I've found myself feeling as if the whole world is burning down around me. There's a whole lot of uncertainty, anxiety and suffering happening out there, from the personal to the political. The things I got accustomed to rely…

Resting is essential for optimal learning to occur.

Yes, you can just push through and keep chugging along... but if these classes have taught you anything, then you know about the nature of diminishing returns. That's why I schedule…

…and that means Passover, Palm Sunday and Easter.

Over the next 2 weeks, many folks will likely be doing things with family and close friends, which is a perfect time to practice the Feldi philosophies you’ve honed through our lessons…

If you want to reimagine the world you need to reimagine how you are in the world.

That's what these classes are about. Thinking big and wide and deep, and then acting super-locally through self-awareness, exploration, and our connection to…

I'm headed to Temple University to visit the Masters of Landscape Architecture program as part of an LAAB accreditation team. I volunteered for this back in spring, before I had a new puppy and before I felt the end of…

For folks to coexist harmoniously within community, we need rules of interaction, but I'd like to throw politeness out the door and replace it with authentic kindness.

Too much emphasis is placed on caring what other people might think. What…

I started reading a book called Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira, which is fundamentally affecting how I think about things... in a fascinating and positive way. It is making me question how our culture educates and teaches us…

The smell of autumn is in the air. Mornings are crisp. Kids (and teachers) are back in school. The very beginning of color is starting in the poplars and red maples. And so the cycle continues…

I love reminding myself…

I got a new woodstove!

Today’s challenge was getting the 200 lbs. box made of soapstone & cast iron from the back of the Subaru and into the house with the help of my 103 lbs. feldi sister, Linda, and…

We all are on a journey, and the journey takes us places we never imagined... And when we think we want to step into the world to serve, and serve in a role of leading, we may find that the…

Who said, “It is better to try & fail, than not try at all.”
And did anyone say, “It's best to not try and still succeed!”

Each breath is a gift given and received.

With each breath we literally are connecting our internal and external worlds. We take in the atmosphere around us, and we give back body-warmed air. We keep the oxygen gifted by plants…

The mind and body are an integrated mobius strip which influence one another. How we move changes how we think, and recent neuroscience explains this interconnection in ever increasing clarity. As designers, we can integrate this information into our professional…

Listening is necessary to connect, communicate and understand. To listen, we must find quiet... and that takes time. In a culture where time is often perceived as scarce and is equated with money, taking time is an act of defiance…
