Staying Open

When you have support - real support - it creates safety in relationship. It is nourishing and guiding.

This is work is not about affirmations or trying to put on a happy face on when the appropriate response is anger or grief.

Practice Over Perfection

For me a spiritual practice is not about leaving the world or my body behind, it is about learning what needs to be let go of so that I can show up more fully as I am here and now each day with meaning and purpose in my heart. It takes practice. It is not a given.

The Quiet Revolt of the Soul

Beauty has a power to transform and heal. To touch our lives in more diverse and radical ways. It has the power to help wake the senses to what is life affirming and benevolent. So choosing beauty in the face of everything else becomes the quiet revolt of the soul.

Seeing Beyond What Is Shown

Part of our work here, as creators, educators, facilitators, and guides, is helping to open perspective. And to do this we need to continually sharpen our own capacity for self-awareness and the ability to perceive without agenda. To feel what is deeper, palpable, and more true.To live from more curiosity and have the audacity to think differently. To reach for better.

Healing the Chasm of Self Worth

Love, our most basic and fundamental form of nourishment and exchange. And yet, when it was once so painful, we have this uncanny ability to build bold and swift defenses against it. Healing self worth through our realtionships.

Raw Tender Self

There is such power in our ability to slow ourselves down and become mindful of what’s really going on underneath the surface of “being busy” all the time.

From this present moment awareness a whole set of new choices become available.
