Hey everyone, I'm Sam. At the moment I'm in Mexico, though I tend to spend a fair amount of time wandering beaches, mountains, and communities, looking for conversations that make me question what I think I know. I've spent the last decade exploring Qigong, breathwork, meditation, energy cultivation, and all the strange ways humans try to feel a little more at home in their bodies and lives. These days I teach Qigong inside my little Skool community, The Field, where we practice movement, breathing, slowing down, and the art of showing up for ourselves and each other. I met Zina online a few months ago and immediately appreciated how authentic, grounded, and peaceful she seemed. In a world where a lot of people are trying very hard to be teachers, she felt like someone genuinely living what she shares. I wanted more of that energy in my life, so here I am. One thing my body has been trying to tell me lately: Consume less. Media, food, distractions, even chocolate, less please. okay not chocolate. My body keeps reminding me that it exists and it's made up of bone, ligament, tendon, sinew, muscle, n mucus, fluids, and systems so odd I can't begin to pretend to understand. It has desires and needs but maybe mainly just wants to be loved and cared for as the house that it is for the thing that I am. Two truths and a lie: • I still have days where I'm blown away by the difficulty in my own mind. • I've been comfortable in the weird for as long as I can remember. • I naturally enjoy being the center of attention. Win of the week: I've been making more space for community and real conversations instead of trying to solve everything on my own. It turns out breathing, moving, and sharing life with good people works better than whatever I was doing before. Happy to be here. It's all about you, the people. Thanks for sharing your authenticity and vulnerability
