@JMstein @AlchemySprings Alchemy Springs is such a gift to the city and I feel it will have an important impact on culture in creating and inspiring healthy social connection and elemental wellness. Thank you @JMstein & @annenickel for your hard work and devotion!!

This vision for Sutro Baths is incredible… and yeah, something like this would take years and a heroic amount of capital to pull off. In the meantime, we’ve been busting our ass to build a smaller version of this right now in SF. @AlchemySprings is months away from fully opening: multiple pools, steam room, indoor + outdoor saunas, thermal greenhouse, treatment rooms, tea lounge, sound lounge… a modern bathhouse for SF that is almost ready for the city. Been seeing a lot of interesting people comment on this post…If there are any passionate San Franciscans (or a billionaire with a soft spot for the city) who want to help accelerate this and be part of bringing back SF’s social bath culture, my DMs are open. Here.we.go.

Notes on Forgiveness No. 5 You are absolute to me. Nothing to purify, when the heart is pure. Nothing to pardon, when the lesson is a part of me. Nothing to prove, when all is provided.

Notes on Forgiveness No. 4 When we are ready, it disappears. When we allow ourselves to be Whole again - embracing all the parts we once rejected out of shame - what asked for our forgiveness no longer has reason to.

Notes on Forgiveness No. 3 If you are not ready to give yourself another chance, give yourself another day. Give yourself another day and give yourself to the day. as you are

Notes on Forgiveness No. 2 Watch the Sun rise. Feel your body and the entire world turn towards the light. Believe you get another chance. You do.

Notes on Forgiveness No. 1 Go to the river. Sing. Pray. Do nothing at all. And maybe, offer some regret. She’ll take it downstream into the great mystery. She’ll carry your prayers forward. (She couldn’t possibly carry it backwards.)
