Those who have known me, over time, know well that I do not see the world through the eyes of what is but through the potential of what might become. These last years that fit snugly under the banner of ‘pandemic’ have only served to bring into sharper relief the degree to which what seems to be ’the issue’ is but the distraction… the cover… for something ...

Agitations
Before you reach for your mask….
Yet again, murmurings of a required return to masks in public places in Ontario. Yet again, useless-yet-damaging theatre to reinforce both fear and control in an uneducated populace. Before you capitulate to some authority just because you're trained to do that, consider the following. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is the ... Continue Reading >>
The Demise of Capitulation
What does it take? How deep - and contagious - is your fear? Why would you bother? Who else might you choose to become? Decades of cultural conditioning - supported at every turn by others equally conditioned and rewarded for being so - leave us wondering what's true and what isn't. In my era, that cultural conditioning came from the process of ... Continue Reading >>
The Quest for Open Science: Nick Hudson/PANDA
Some are more courageous than others. Nick Hudson has been one, amongst many, from the start. The truth really does set us free. Are we willing to hear it? ... Continue Reading >>
Pandemic… of Shame
I know of no one who has been spared the drama and its attending impact from the last three years of constant pressure to capitulate and conform. To do what you're told. To not question. To be silent if not in agreement. To trust external authorities rather than your own internal cues. Over and over... day after day... pummelled by the talking heads, ... Continue Reading >>
Authenticity as Boundary
Over time and in many ways, the idea of establishing boundaries has been explored. Typically, it is done by way of identifying things to do; behaviours to change; new strategies to put into play that will prevent your being pressed... bullied.. cajoled, shamed or provoked... into choices that are no longer a choice and have become the imperative of another, ...

Intentional Evolution: provocation for a life worth living
So much in today's world seeks to highjack your attention and redirect... away from your own inner rumblings and toward the nails-on-a-chalk-board screech of yet another reason to be afraid; another reason to look outside of yourself for someone (anyone!) to save you; another reason for you to capitulate to your weenie-ness and inability to figure it out for ...

How the body works
The magic of a small child lives in their unquestionable trust of the deep intelligence that is their own body. There is no filter between the inner cue and external engagement. It takes pain - chronic and applied over time or intense, in a single burst - and from that pain descends the silencing of the natural, intuitive inner joy... replaced with a ... Continue Reading >>
Step 2: Be willing to change your mind
After 30+ years of experiencing and learning how to trust the many waves of discovery in the vast ocean of my own potential, it has become easier and much less of a struggle to be willing to change my mind. With a new insight… a new moment in time, deeply rooted in my own intuitive knowing… letting go of what was and embracing that which has proven to be ... Continue Reading >>
