Happy Holidays 2021
You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting…
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself up to your imagination.

Fall News 2021
Greetings to member and friends,
I hope this note finds you well and healthy. As we shift into the fall, we are blessed with cobalt blue skies and perfect 70-degree temperatures. It evened rained. My garden rejoiced. I feel both grateful for our smoke free air and sorrowful for the suffering of our friends who surround us north and south battling smoke and fire. It’s part of our practice to keep our hearts wide open and send loving energy to those with whom we share this precious planet….
Summer News 2021
Greetings to you all,
The pandemic has quieted for most of us in this moment in our part of the world; in the same breath, we also recognize that many others continue to live with its continuing threat or its aftermath. After seventeen months of working through a chaotic pandemic that none of us could have imagined, we find ourselves renewing our lives in a myriad of ways.
2021 Spring Message
March 24, 2021
Greetings to friends and family of Two Cranes,
I imagine that you all are embracing the signs of spring surrounding us. Even with the rains and dramatic gray skies, we smell the cherry blossoms and note the daffodils everywhere. And wow, we did it! We worked, wrestled, wondered, and wandered through this year of a pandemic that none of us could have imagined. We found a way to offer classes on zoom 7 days a week, and we taught classes in the park in the sunshine and the pouring rain for our children, teens, and adults. We hosted instructors from the US and Europe and we diligently prepared our space to make it ready for the moment we can be together again in person. All of you have been so gracious in offering whatever you could: your emotional, physical, energetic support. Thank you. Because of you, we are still here!
