I frequent instagram less + less, but this morning I visited for a few minutes + read some encouraging words, found out about a health crisis + was able to give a bit toward mounting costs (this country's healthcare system is ridiculous), and came across something else that tickles my brain (twice). Recognizing the tickle, I was able to disengage with the app + move into my thoughts. Sweet spot.
One of the posts showed a circle created with tape on the ground in a public square. A guitarist played next to a piece of poster board labeling the space, "dance circle". People stopped + danced, while others continued to walk past.
Another post showed a tea ceremony peacefully taking place on a tatami mat inside a frame of wood slats forming a cube. This cube was set in various spots such as a snowy wilderness or a busy city sidewalk.
The idea of a space created within a space with very little visual barrier + that created space facilitating behavior that would not have happened otherwise is fascinating.
What behavior could I invite + catalyze by creating intentional spaces within my own spaces?
Imagine.
Love,
Jane

- a space that draws me toward practicing movement, stretching, meditation, gratitude
- a space that motivates me to choose whole foods
- a space that invites + enhances connection
- a space that promotes restful sleep
- a space that inspires moving through that day with softness + love
Imagine.
Love,
Jane
