Hi meditators and friends on the path to self-knowing,
I am Jo Brody, long time resident of Portland Oregon by way of Taos, NM and before that, Massachusetts).
How beautiful it is to finally have a loose and lovely Sangha! Thank you universe for leading me to Susan and to you all.
I am so grateful to have found the centering, challenging and juicy practice of drawing, painting, (and art-making in nearly every media) 15 years ago in my mid- 40’s and my love for the practice is abiding.
I have been meditating off and on for years but it’s been a challenge to make it a daily practice and that is something I hope to change and learn to devote myself to it with the same dedication I have to my art practice.
This short course on Inexplicable Magic (I am a sucker for magic of any kind!) has been helping my practice become more regular and I love the foundational, practical focus of the work especially here at the beginning.

Three beloved books: (I love seeing everyone else’s answers to all these prompts but especially to these final two questions):
-Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act(i am listening to it)
-Thich Nhat Hanh’s No Mud No Lotus(I have most of his books but this one is really helpful right now)
-All of Jean Shinoda Bolen’s books but I have read Crossing to Avalon at least three times
Three beloved recordings:
-My son Eliot’s cover of Dylan’s Ring Them Bells
-Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life esp. Love’s in Need of Love Today
-Van Morrison’s Veedon Fleece(all of his records but this one will come to my desert island)
Looking forward to “meeting” more of you soon!
