“We are like islands in the sea- separate on the surface, but connected in the deep.”

-William James

Dancing with what is present.

Experiencing love after love.

Tending to the grief of the world.

I am Lila.

The present moment

Within me and with another

Acceptance and Devotion


LOVES

The ocean

Most shades of blue

Pretty much all desserts

Creatures that purr

Quiet places


NOT SO MUCH LOVE

Murky water

Pastels

Ice Cream

Bugs that bite

Loud noises

Honesty

Kindness

Freedom 

Mother Nature

Hello and thanks for being here.

I am…

Still Dancing

As a moving body of words, thoughts, ideas, and feelings, dance is my embodied practice of being with and accepting everything in my life and in the world.

IN Love After Love

I am grateful for second chances and beginning again.

being with the grief of everything

I am feeling overwhelmed yet steady. I am available to provide support and be with others as they grieve their own sorrows, losses, and life transitions as well as the world’s.

what Else

For thirty years, I've learned from many fellow writers, dancers, and teachers as well as through my own practice that deep healing is available within the body and psyche.

I'm devoted right now to writing what I’ve longed to say and I’m living into a new story of love. I am also committed to supporting others in their healing process through words and movement as I continue to learn from and move with mine.  

I am inspired by and hungry for honest, wholehearted conversations, shared silence, and vulnerable encounters with others. I’m most curious these days about a human being’s courage and presence in the face of modernity’s collapse.

I am not any one thing. I am everything and nothing.
