Why Miami
If one is into what I broadly call “effing with consciousness,” Miami right now has the conditions that make for a perfect storm.
A year ago while visiting Miami from my home in the SF Bay Area, I said yes to a move to Miami. Sure, the warm weather and ease of travel are nice, but it wasn’t without hesitation. I didn’t know whether I’d find myself here.
A mountain- loving avatar whose work involves altered states, I was afraid the only thing flatter than Miami’s topography would be its people.
Some 8 months into living here, I am humbled to say I get why I’m here, if only for this moment in life.
If one is into what I broadly call “effing with consciousness,” Miami right now has the conditions that make for a perfect storm.
Just like a perfect storm in the ocean requires the right combination of warm and humid air from one direction meeting cool and dry air generated by a high-pressure system coming from another direction, so does a perfect storm of consciousness.
In this perfect storm of consciousness, the equivalent of warm and humid air from one direction is the well established Latin communities and ongoing flow of energy from the south: Venezuelan, Colombians, Chileans, Cubans, Mexicans… which make Spanish be the first language in this city.
Enter the flow of cool and dry air by way of a high-pressure system— namely all them covid immigrants from NY, LA, SF Bay Area and more, and their subsequent waves of friends—, and there you have it; The perfect storm. In these unusual conditions, rare bedfellows meet. Heat fans come to hot yoga. Bubble butts come to breath work. It’s. a. thing.
If you, like me, are a student of consciousness, Interested not in a monochrome experience a la echos chambers of the like minded but inspired by the creativity that can only be cultivated in diversity, Miami is one interesting place to be. It is not for everyone, and not forever, but- done right- growth lives here.
Whether living in town, or visiting- feel free to holler me.
