What I’m Doing Now

The days are getting shorter, darker, colder. Life is slowing down. Winter is here—an ideal time to turn our attention inward and tend to the needs of our inner space. A time to rest, recover, meditate, and recharge—sitting by the fire with a good book and a warm ginger tea, or playing the harmonium and chanting a medley of late-night mantras. A time to dream wonderful things for the years to come.

I see multiple musical recordings on the agenda next spring, and an increase in live performances by the end of 2026. In February, a most exciting project with Belgian composer-guitarist Julien Tassin, French alternative-rock drummer Jean-Marc Butty (PJ Harvey, Venus), and British producer John Parish (PJ Harvey). Furthermore, in March, a duo album recording with the beautiful music of composer-pianist Pirly Zurstrassen. And, who knows, a new ambient solo album with saxophone and electronics sometime soon.

Our usual Sampoorna Yoga Weekends are scheduled in March and November, and plans for a longer retreat are taking shape. Bi-monthly in-person Yoga Days may come into being, as well as filming a series of short instructional yoga videos in May. Weekly live-streamed online classes? Unlikely. More kirtan and mantra-chanting moments—most definitely.
