A Reminder to be Gentle with Yourself
WNC peeps and those who left (and love us from afar):
Be gentle with yourself if you think you’re not doing enough.
Be gentle with yourself if you’re exhausted from doing too much.
![Death is an invitation to keep your heart open](/wp-content/themes/yootheme/cache/06/image-5-064a7079.png)
Be gentle with yourself if you’re too frozen in shock to do anything.
Be gentle with yourself if you’re fuzzy and confused.
Be gentle with yourself if you’re in denial.
Be gentle with yourself if you’re grieving.
Be gentle with yourself if you feel nothing.
Be gentle with yourself if you feel everything.
This is a cataclysmic event, a 30,000 year occurrence.
We have no models of how to act, move, think, be, respond to this.
There is no road map.
Even if we call on all our inner and outer resources, we’re still grasping.
Be gentle.
Hurricane Helene ravaged Asheville, NC and the surrounding Western NC area on September 27, 2024. This post was created in response to that devastation and helping our community find its way through the destruction and towards recovery and wholeness.

Lee Warren is a death and tantra educator, somatic guide, writer, mystic, and community builder. Lee’s work delves into the intimate relationship between our physical existence and the mysteries of life and death. She teaches how embracing the certainty of our mortality can transform fear into profound gratitude and ecstatic embodiment.
Why do we want to be more embodiment? Because that’s where divine intelligence lives. Consciousness is in every cell of our being and it’s waiting to be enlivened.
Her rich and varied experiences—from three decades of ecovillage living and the practice of sustainable agriculture to her devotional Tantric path—prime her for sharing the teachings of the life/death/life mysteries.
