Welcome to Whole Circle
My offering to you
I’ve been cultivating this space for a long time, in my mind at least. I wanted a space where I could be a creative intellectual, a nature girl, a round-the-way girl, an emerging therapist, an embodied healer of myself and others. Not performative, but authentic. Stepping into my power, my Ase. A place where all of me can just breathe and just be.
I wanted somewhere to write and share the thoughts that come to me on walks and the questions that linger after readings, conversations, sessions, and dreams.
I wanted to share my work and my passions and to integrate over 50 years of life experiences and over 30 years of academic and professional experiences in the fields of education, cultural studies, library information science and archival research, public health, workforce development, and counseling.
Whole Circle is that place.
Periodically, I’ll send my musings your way. My offering to you is a piece of me, which I hope resonates with parts of you. Included in the posts you may find:
observations and reflections from nature and society
thoughts on healing and wellness
creative and intellectual works
personal, familial, and cultural memories
gentle practices for grounding, emotional regulation, and returning to the body
opportunities for connection and collaboration
I hope that as I open the circle, you find something that connects with you, intrigues you, or at least causes you to think and feel.
I appreciate you for receiving this offering.
Adupe,
Monica
