I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to share about our trip to Asia. I guess because it grabbed my heart so hard and … I needed time to integrate. I think back to the first time I went to Bodhgaya, India in 2003. I arrived at the Mahabodhi Stupa and promptly broke down in sobs. It was the oddest sensation, as if I suddenly understood why I always felt like I never fit in anywhere growing up. I became acutely aware of the familiarity of this place and how it felt like ‘home’. I heard myself think: It’s been so long since I’ve been here, coupled with a strange unfamiliar grief at the passing of time ...

On one of our final days in Austin, we went to the riverside at 7am to watch the sunrise & do a flower offering with a very special group of people. After sharing a practice that is very dear to the entire Flowerlounge team, we made wishes & threw flower love bombs into the water.

I am so incredibly grateful to our community in Austin. Wow! I’m on my knees and so is my team. Thank you. We were all blown away by the depth of profound connections we made so effortlessly — and the number of people that were so open, sparkly, radiant and ready to collaborate.

If you need a little uplift today, watch this short video of our spontaneous Flower Flash Mob in Austin. Watch it several times & notice what you see in the faces. The practice of offering flowers is a reminder of the simplicity of a flower to bridge the illusory gap between us to say: I‘m here with you, I love you. And to see the truth of our humanity in that single powerful moment.

Moonstone is the perfect antidote for the wild craziness that so many of us are experiencing lately! It's the perfect encouragement to move though whatever is arising & meet all of our selves in the truest, gentlest, most authentic way.

Oak Creek is one of the most popular attractions in Sedona. Luckily, with so many places to dip your toes along the creek, you can often find a secret spot to enjoy by yourself. As we were river tracing & searching for flowers, we came across the totally rare Stream Orchid growing in abundance along the creek!

As part of our magic travels around the world, we organize a Flower Flash Mob in every city we visit.We give out flowers to perfect strangers - for no reason. We share fleeting connections - a beautiful practice of love without attachment. We put a wheel of love in motion.
