Meet the Pack: Shannon Cury

Meet the Pack: We asked our pack of instructors 10 questions to get to know them a bit more, this is what Shannon Cury had to say. (Note: if you already saw this on IG, this post has all 10 answers vs the shorter version on IG)

WL: Which animal's medicine do you resonate with and why?

S: Dolphin for sure. The balance of playfulness and power speaks to me.

WL: What was the first thing you wanted to be when you grew up?

S: A journalist. Ironically I now help people shift their relationship with social media but using my voice and seeking justice still hits.

WL: If you could have one super power what would it be?

S: Flying! Anyone else have dreams where they can fly over cities? So cool.

WL: What’s your favorite place to eat in San Diego? What do you order?

S: Oooh definitely the gluten free pizza at Elvira in OB.

WL: What’s one thing that can instantly make your day better?

S: Jumping in the ocean.

WL: If you could live anywhere in the world other than San Diego, where would it be?

S: Aotearoa aka New Zealand!

WL: What type of music/DJ/band gets you dancing?

S: These days Sofi Tukker and Big Wild or good old 2000s R&B.

WL: What is something that fills you with purpose?

S: Building a world that we don't need so much healing from and helping people deconstruct harmful conditioning for personal & collective liberation. There's nothing wrong with you, babe. There's a lot wrong with the system.

WL: What are 3 personal rituals that you do everyday and why? 

S: Morning pages to brain dump and get the demons out before the day starts, meditation or breathwork to center and mental health movement to keep my energy flowing.

WL: What is one quote or piece of positive advice you’d like to share?

S: When my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer he said it made him realize how much his efforts of trying to control his life were useless. My diagnosis hit me with the same truth. Seeking control tends to leads to more suffering. We're better off letting go and letting life do its thing.
