Adventures in Embodiment

I wrote about slowing down and coming home to Oklahoma city. This felt like part of that story. A quiet walk through Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center à la prochaine. If you'd like to read the article, the link is here: Keme' Substack

Confirmation Day You don’t have to choose. In a time when many are walking away from yoga in order to follow Jesus, this essay offers a different experience—one rooted not in doctrine, but in lived relationship. Through story, dream, and daily practice, I explore how devotion to Jesus has never required me to abandon the body, breath, or spiritual curiosity. If anything, it has deepened it. This is not an argument. It’s a testimony. A reflection on what happens when faith is

In this reflective essay, I explore language as a lived, embodied experience—one shaped by breath, rhythm, and cultural immersion. Moving between Oklahoma skies, Parisian cafés, and the vibrant pulse of New York City, I trace her journey from hesitant French speaker to confident facilitator guiding others through language, movement, and presence. Blending storytelling with insight, this piece invites readers to reconsider how language is learned—not just through the mind, but

A few moments of Tai Chi with Keme And if you’re curious about learning Tai Chi yourself

After writing my recent essay “ Swimming Taught Me Tai Chi ,” a few people asked how they might experience Tai Chi themselves. One thing I’ve learned recently is that Tai Chi reveals itself through consistent practice — especially slow, quiet morning practice. So I’m opening a small online container. Beginning March 21 , I’ll be hosting a 5-week Sunrise Tai Chi series on Zoom . • 30-minute Saturday sessions• beginner friendly• focused on breath, gentle movement, and coordina

In this reflective essay, I explore an unexpected teacher: the water. What began as a return to swimming gradually revealed lessons about rhythm, breath, and the subtle art of moving with—not against—life. Drawing connections between swimming and Tai Chi, I reflects on how the body learns wisdom long before the mind can name it. Through quiet observation of breath, balance, and flow, the piece becomes a meditation on embodied learning, patience, and the ways ordinary experien

Monks for Peace during their stop in Atlanta, Ga We Start With Ourselves: Why Regulation Is the First Act of Justice What does it mean to respond to a violent and unjust world without becoming hardened or reactive ourselves? In this essay, I reflect on a conversation that opened a deeper understanding of nervous system regulation as a moral and spiritual practice — not withdrawal, but preparation. Drawing from contemplative traditions, lived experience, and teaching stories (
