I spent a week on the Calbrian coast in Italy— writing, resting and replenishing my creativity. These days were filled with simple moments that glistened in the light of presence and ritual. Every part of the day felt sacred and pure— from pouring tea in the morning and sitting by the water sipping as I wrote my morning pages— to swimming in the cold Mediterranean sea— cleansing my salty skin in the shower— to slowly preparing coffee and sitting at my laptop to write — then swimming again at sunset and dancing in the kitchen as I cooked dinner. The rhythm I found in my days here began to mirror the sea, gently ebbing and flowing from the shore. I didn't do anything extraordinary and barely left this stretch of shore for an entire week but in this stillness, magic began to reveal itself to me. So I created this video to share a glimmer of the light that found me, in hopes of it too— reaching you.
Sending my love,
