Sheila Winter Wallace: A Special Invitation /July 16 – 7:00pm to 9:00pm
In Sheila's own words: For coaches and healers to consider a paradigm shift in thinking about who and what you are as a spiritual being, embodied in a quantum biological processor of energy and information. If that wording has caught your attention, I would love to hear from you. It is not how we usually speak about human beings in an allopathic world. What ... Continue Reading >>

Stela Murrizi: Free Event – Saturday, June 14th – 10:00 am to 11:30 am
If you're curious about how it works and - knowing that - how you can make a difference in your own life or in your work with others, here's an opportunity to consider that which may well have slipped outside your awareness. Join Stela on Saturday for a one-hour presentation followed by 30 minutes of Q&A and consider: "How else might I choose to live ... Continue Reading >>
The Battle for the Brain : Academia Weighs In
I developed a curiosity about such things close to 20 years ago. Today, I continue to remind myself: what else do we not yet know? A world unto its own, the things that move in the shadows are intentionally kept from the light of scrutiny by 'the average' human. And yet, that same average human is nonetheless fodder for experimentation outside their ... Continue Reading >>
In the Sweet Spot: The potential of “I don’t know…”
Yesterday, I had the great joy of spending time in conversation with Anne Bérubé - human being extraordinaire. Anne and I met a long time ago and over these many years, I’ve been able to watch as she has - more and more - come into the unique expression of her own powerful presence; exploring and discovering her reason for being here… in this place/time… ...

Lynn V. Andrews: A Tribute
Take a Risk Nobody owns the truth. Why are we so quick to give our truth away when someone disagrees with us or doesn't give us the encouragement that we expected? If you believe in your dreams, isn't it worth taking the risk of bringing them to life? Your life is worth the risk. Lving your truth is your heritage. It is your birthright, a right that is not ...

Stela Murrizi: Untangling trauma from 0 – 7
As I'm preparing for a conference application on resilience, I chose the topic of "untangling trauma from 0 - 7" to focus on. Why? Because during those ages, we have very little say in what is done TO us. And that is how trauma is normalized and passed on, unconsciously through: * epigenetics * power of modeling * the invisible cultural and familiar ... Continue Reading >>
Jennifer Hatt: Spring into rediscovery! – March 11 to 20th
Each day, spend a minimum of 30 minutes writing about what presents and comes up, how you feel, where you're at ... free of judgment, editing, and doubt. What you write will be perfect in the moment. Click send. I will read your offering and respond with what I see and feel in myself. We repeat the process for 10 days, no breaks, no days off. The consistent ... Continue Reading >>
Urgency: Choosing to Get on With It!
As we were approaching the end of our evening exploration, I shared with a small group of women my deep and vast sense of urgency. It caught me off guard when one of the women spoke to that notion of what I was calling ‘urgency’ in words that referred to ‘panic’ and ‘terror’. It was a great opportunity for me to stop… take a breath… and revisit: just what do ... Continue Reading >>
Events coming up: Sheila Winter Wallace and Stela Murrizi
Below are opportunities for you to easily access experiences, skillfully facilitated by women who walk the talk. Sheila Winter Wallace: Tuesday, February 11th - March 3rd This is to remind those of you who have participated in my 21-day Meditation Masterclass in both December and January (and have expressed interest in continuing) that I am re-igniting ...

Stories, Storytellers and Truth: 3 Questions to Find Your Way Through
From the moment of our conception, the stories begin. As cells divide and begin to form what will become our bodies, the vibrations of sound echo inside our tiny chamber as our mother speaks to herself or any other. Over time, we develop the sensory capacity to make distinctions… noticing the vibrations of sounds and the often-rapidly changing chemical ... Continue Reading >>
Update: The Power of the Pause (Guided Reflection)
Originally written in 2022 - in the throes of a purported pandemic - holding one's breath became the 'norm' for a collective drowning in fear and uncertainty. The iron fist of the Overlords was matched by the rhetoric used to ensure compliance to a preferred narrative - flying in the face of evidence available, even then. Today, that 'intolerable' ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Who Says it has to be Hard!
Transformation – although far too often over-promised and under-delivered! – is what my clients are looking for. Not incremental change; not small adjustments and little twists on the status quo, but those huge and irreversible changes to the way they move through the world. Our greatest invitation is to be able to free ourselves from our own limitations and ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: The Currency of Consciousness
As it has been said elsewhere: shit's about to get real. The world is splitting into two very different 'realities': one grounded in and sourced from fear - and the other emerging into a potential sourced firmly in intention. Soon, you will have to choose: do you live from fear and in reaction to what you perceive as a reality that surrounds you? Or do ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Manifesto for Meaningful Moments
Over my many years in the program room with women, I have often said: If you don’t like the conversation you’re in, change it! Become more adept at hijacking the conversation and taking it where you want it/need it to go. The polite alternative is to leave it and, in doing so, make no difference. The deadly alternative is to numb yourself and stay in a ... Continue Reading >>
Getting Through the Bullshit
If I may be so bold…. It’s tough, these days, to get through the bullshit.. and there is plenty of it to go around. Years of it! Piled higher and deeper, as we lurch from one cultural/social/ shock to the next…. wondering… WTF?!? I have no idea what the alternatives are for you. No idea what you think is true/real/etc or not. Not a clue whether ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: 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 ...

You can’t get there from here…
Long story - short version: the gravity of the familiar is rapidly weakening. Gravity - that force that holds all things in their proper place - has been weakening for some time. Today, what once had roots now seems to be floating above the surface of where we think it belongs. Untethered. Groundless. Like the seeds of the dandelion…. blown about and set ... Continue Reading >>
Evolution by Intention: From Chaos to Emergence
Given the world that was presenting, in June of 2023 I felt drawn to launch a monthly conversation to explore the elements of a world in turmoil; and its consequences for living our own meaningful and resourceful lives. From a shared interest in that intention, 'Navigating Chaos’ took root. Once a month for four hours, a small group of women deeply ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi: Discovering your adaptation strategy
In eight quick questions, Stela has created a fun and meaningful quiz to help you discover which adaptation strategy you have picked up from growing up! As she has shared: "A word of caution -- answer the questions intuitively and honestly. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer in the process of self-discovery! The point is to simply find out which ... Continue Reading >>
Gregg Braden: Making sense of the chaos
An expanded perspective emerges from an expanded mind. In this exploration, Gregg Braden (as always) provokes the potential of a vast and innately-known 'reality' that is available to us all. The question then becomes: What will you choose? As much as coalescing forces may want us to believe ourselves to be helpless victims to an overwhelming, ... Continue Reading >>
Nassim Haramein: Making it easier for us to see what’s possible
The faster things outside of us move, the greater the impact of allowing ourselves... inside... to slow down and reconsider. First, educate then engage. Another compelling, potent and Life-reassuring exploration of some of things we don't know, we don't yet know. You can follow what Nassim and his team are creating from the International Space ... Continue Reading >>
Gregg Braden – New Book: Pure Human
For those of you who have experienced the impact of a WEL-Systems® approach to accelerated evolution, much of what you'll hear in this conversation will be familiar. If you're new to all of this, remember to breathe... soften your belly and relax your shoulders... and intentionally and mindfully make room for something new and different to enter your ...

Navigating Chaos: The tough stuff
In a recent Navigating Chaos (NC) conversation, I shared these thoughts with those who chose to attend. I share them with you in the event that they may prove to be of value to you, in some way, as we continue to face into the intensifying headwinds of the changes already upon us... with more to come. This is a long one and, for many, will be a tough one. ... Continue Reading >>
The Seth Material: never gets old
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhoVxERYDd8 My first introduction to the Seth material was in the early 1990's. On the tail end of a 'nervous breakdown', a woman by the name of Hunter Wells somehow showed up in my life. A brilliant astrologist, she helped me to see things in ways that I had never considered. As our shared project was coming to a close, ... Continue Reading >>
No Boundaries = Manipulation
In a recent exchange with women desperately seeking to create a future of their own choosing, the conversation about intention, attention and boundaries re-inserted itself into the equation for being successful in doing so. I share some of the exchange, below. "Seeking to envision and manifest a future of your own choosing requires… no, not strong ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: That Inside Voice…
It’s not the absence of grand gestures - it's the presence of those small, daily betrayals of our own truth that leave us silent and desperate for some ‘other’ to stop it and/or change it. While we wait, the pressure builds… inside us, where we live… as it becomes impossible for us to NOT notice our capitulation, yet again, to that which we do not want. ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: The Intimacy of Self Discovery
I am one of the very, very lucky ones! On a regular basis, and whenever I choose, I get to both initiate and/or participate in the creations of others that are intended to and designed for mindful evolution of Self, for its own sake. How many people have easy access to that kind of creative exploration, innovative thinking and resilient living? In the ... Continue Reading >>
The Secret Influence of Government Nudge Groups
Some time ago (November 2022), I shared information about the introduction of 'nudge groups' into the vast repertoire of efforts to shape mind-share. It would seem things have only become more sophisticated... more 'refined'... in the relentless efforts to ensure compliance with an externally imposed direction for our evolution. Personally? I prefer to ... Continue Reading >>
Noise
I’ve been away for a few days… away from my cozy little world; away from an environment over which I have (pretty much ) total control; away from the carefully curated bubble of interconnectivity and its multiple layers… diving head-long into the press of external realities, piled one on top of the other. Trains and shuttles; traffic and close calls; ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: The Process of Choice
There really are no accidents in the Universe. In a recent conversation, the exploration about choice (outcome) and choosing (process) - and putting voice to that internal process of having chosen - reminded me of the following blog written in September of 2020... almost to the day! (Funny how that happens..) I am taking the liberty of sharing it with ... Continue Reading >>
Gregg Braden: “This is how you lose a species.”
A word to the wise: I learned a long time ago that just because I don't know about it does not mean it isn't happening. As far back as 2011, Rosa Koire wrote "Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21". To her last breath, she spent her final years trying to alert us to a creeping black mold that would suck the life out of all that we had come to both ... Continue Reading >>
Arlington Institute – Quartet: How to be who you really are
Many voices are required to change a deeply entrenched narrative. Many minds are essential to the creation of a relevant, meaningful and Life-giving/Life-sustaining intention for a shared reality. In this video from the Arlington Institute, the voices of four unique and diverse thinkers form an invitation for each of us to consider: How else might I ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: The Roots of Magic in Manifestation
As we do every month, a small group of deeply curious women gathered to reconsider what it takes to manifest a reality of one's own choosing. And as always, buttons got pushed, rage awakened and tears flowed. And so did the laughter and the delight as the flashes of insight emerged and.... poof!... in a nano-second, 'reality' morphed. There is an ... Continue Reading >>
A Mindful Moment…
It takes courage to dare to consider other than what sits so comfortably and mindlessly at the forefront of our habituated 'reality'. Living a joyous, meaningful, resourceful and resilient Life demands that we grow a spine; that we become willing to speak of the unspeakable; and that we invite and allow all the secrets and lies carried by the body to ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi & Randi White: OCD as a Gateway to Potential
Consider this your invitation to hear one woman's journey with and through OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) to a greater realization of her own potential... and a very different way of living. Stela Murrizi initiates a conversation with Randi White about the devastating impact on her life of decades of obsessive-compulsive behaviours; her discovery of ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Mind Control
As always, this monthly exploration of who we can become in the face of chaos is not for those who dabble. The recent ’Navigating Chaos’ exploration was devoted to the many layers of mind control. In the turbulent times of a world in upheaval, being able to stand in a different place and become more - not less - discerning; and to intentionally seek ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi: Thoughts on the future
"I AM. Two powerful words that transform lives when fully owned and engaged. Two words that invite and allow the Force of Life that we each are to manifest to its fullest potential. To fill the fecund Space with a life of meaning and intention. A life of purpose. A life of joy. Of curiosity. Of deeply transformative conversations with women with a ... Continue Reading >>
My Own Emergence: Letting Go
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. - Harriet Tubman To Harriet’s thoughts, I would add: the courage, the wisdom and the great sense of humour to know when it’s time to let go. The original company (Partners in Renewal) was ... Continue Reading >>
Ed Dowd: Patterns and Trends – Money and Medicine
I've been following Ed Dowd for some time, now. His background in finance honed his significant skills in pattern recognition and the ability to anticipate the direction of a trend. In the last few challenging years, he has turned his attention to naming the consequences in the aftermath of the choices made by politicians and governments, around the world, ...

Ben Davidson: Connecting the Dots
All meaning is context dependent... and it does not get much bigger than this! Have you noticed things that you can't seem to explain? Things that you see going on 'out there' and also, things that you feel inside yourself. Things speeding up. Things changing how your body moves through your day. Things feeling heavier and denser. And sometimes, ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Boundaries – Essential to Quality of Life
During the last Navigating Chaos exploration, we took the deep dive into the challenges associated with both setting and holding to a boundary, particularly in the face of chaos. Think of chaos as the experience of rapid and frequent layers of change, emerging from those expectations in life long-held as stable and predictable. Having and holding to a ... Continue Reading >>
Focus: Choosing an Emerging Future
The easiest thing in the world to do, these days, is find something miserable to contemplate; something that will engender fear and a sense of hopelessness and despair. Thanks - I'll pass! In addition to being retired, I now have the great benefit of having even fewer obligations as all around me closes up and compresses the Space within which any signs ... Continue Reading >>
Going First
As Gloria Steinem once said: The truth will set you free…. but first, it will piss you off! Why do such sentiments linger for so long? Because they strike a chord in so many. The attending ‘knowing’ lives silently in so many who do not dare …. until one does. Someone always has to go first. Going first is not always fun. At some times - and still, in ... Continue Reading >>
Wholeness of Being
In turbulent times, the ability to navigate - both at the level of the world that 'is' as well as at the level of the world that you intuit could be - is a critical expression of your Being. If you cannot trust that, within yourSelf, you have no choice but to seek out some other, outside-of-you voice and surrender to being led, in the hope that doing so ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: New Program Offering
Jennifer Hatt: Lifting the Fog of Shame
"Like fog over a town, shame roiling through our inner landscape penetrates everywhere and everything, obscures our vision, slows movement to a crawl, dampens desire to do anything except stay warm and dry and wait it out. Unlike fog, though, shame won’t just burn off, lift, or otherwise vanish on its own. We can’t control the weather. We can, however, ... Continue Reading >>
From AI to IA
Today is a day like any other. You wake up…. repeat one more time all of the morning rituals/habits that, once taught, simply mindlessly direct behaviour until your body will no longer co-operate… and launch your day. No matter what you believe to be true from all those things you read, watch and listen to, you can easily find a different source that ... Continue Reading >>
Self Directed Evolution: New Approach
When circumstances change, we adapt or - far too often - find ourselves adrift in a sea of confusion and uncertainty. In those moments, discovering how to turn to our inner cues for guidance can be the lifeline that pulls us into a more powerful context for choosing meaningfully and with a future direction in mind. If this has a resonance for you, this ... Continue Reading >>
One Mother’s Transformation: a story, shared
It can be a challenge to accept that transformation happens in a breath... in the blink of an eye... and is a choice. This shared, life-changing experience (below) comes from a woman who has been a part of Stela Murrizi's year-long Unapologetically Unfuckwithable: Embracing the Crone that I AM . Mother to a young girl who came into her life from an ... Continue Reading >>
Commit: 90 Seconds to Change Your World
Every day… at noon, local time…. stop what you’re doing and: Turn your full attention to yourself… to your body… and take 3 long, slow, deep and deliberate breaths. Then, as you take the next long, slow, deep and intentional breath... on the exhale, say calmly and peacefully to yourself: BE STILL... Slowly, take another long, slow, deep and ...

‘Truth’ as Deception
Some things bear repeating. I posted the original blog in May, 2020. Although it seems like a lifetime ago, it still feels as if it were yesterday. It would also seem that the chasm has both deepened and widened when it comes to making the leap into an expression of 'being' this is relevant and meaningful; and that will allow for resilience in an ...

Intimacy: Looking in All the Wrong Places
Recently, I had a compelling exploration with two amazing young women on the topic of intimacy. I am blessed with a 'retirement' that continues to be filled with women of courageous heart and expansive mind with insatiable appetites for discovery and their own evolution. As they evolve, so do I... in a never-ending shared dance of possibility and ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi: Tips on Choosing Joy this Holiday Season!
"How you relate to life is a matter of what you choose to prioritize in your mind with the things you focus on. I know, from personal experience, that what we think we must prioritize doesn’t feel like a choice because we feel taken by the thing we are habitually focused on. Therein lays the predicament – the capacity to notice choice has become hijacked by ... Continue Reading >>
In a Chaotic World: making room for RIG
In the Spirit of these times, perhaps what would most support Life is not more 'stuff' (or a sense of obligation to engage when under its thin veneer lurks fear, agitation and a nagging sense of the unknown and unknowable) but instead, the simplicity of an intentional pause to reclaim the internal sovereignty that is our Divinity... waiting to be ...

Celebrating our Becoming
We all know that there is always more - and sometimes, we are wise to just stop… take a breath… and fully appreciate the road travelled. Stop... notice... and celebrate just how far our journey has brought us; how many insights and discoveries we have ‘become’ the living expression of; and just how courageous and deeply committed we have proven ourselves ... Continue Reading >>
Living at the Edge of Distinction
I do not know what destiny you will choose to create for yourself in the midst of what seems to be an intentional and expansive press for us to lose our minds, abandon intentional will and choose death. Our own death and the death of others who seek to call us into the worst expression of our potential. And perhaps - at some deeper level of truth - to ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: ‘Decloaking’ 5-day on ZOOM – Oct. 1 to 5
"A virtual, small-group, WEL-Systems® intensive for entrepreneurial women, intended to shift your perspective about how you see your world and your place in it, so that you stop playing second fiddle to your own life and confidently reclaim the required and essential position of first violin. You know what the ‘status quo’ experience feels like in your ... Continue Reading >>
The 30-Second Pause: Pivot for Potential
At some point, each of us must decide: from which side of the dotted line (Quantum Biological Human™) do we choose to engage? Do we choose to live from habit and repetition or do we choose to live from potential? The outcome of that choice determines whether we live IN ’the muck’ or whether we live FROM possibility. Lately, I have been in frequent ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Layers of Loss
Today brings the third and final sound clip from a recent Navigating Chaos experience. This one explores the many layers of the process of loss, encouraging discovery of the unexamined and often unclaimed, unique insights that loss can provoke. Too often, habits and history limit who we can become from embracing loss as the invitation to create, ... Continue Reading >>
Jennifer Hatt: Feeding Ourselves in the New Millennium
"Nourishment for a healthy life goes way beyond proteins and vitamins and dietary fibre. The food we choose to consume is part of nourishment that keeps our body healthy and we as divine godforce engaged with our human experience here on Earth. Our body also needs nourishment of other sources. We need information that challenges, invites, and creates ... Continue Reading >>

Sheila Winter Wallace: Money and Uncertainty
"Hind sight is easy. Over the years, I have been approached by so many women who worked hard, looked good, were smart, savvy, and took their responsibilities with others seriously. Somehow, they forgot themselves; they forgot that they matter. All of these conversations were had privately or in small groups of women in safe spaces. And sometimes, it took ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Who will you choose to be?
And the beat goes on... and on... and on..... The drums of war - of war with ideas and concepts; with ourselves and each other; and perhaps, worst of all, with our own inner truth - are moving from a distant drone to a vibration in the chest, as they move closer to home. Decision time. No longer something 'out there' to be observed and dismissed as not ... Continue Reading >>
Richard Dolan: Humanity at a Crossroads
So... one more thing to add to the already-too-long-and-overwhelming list of changes presenting in our daily lives. Richard Dolan has long been a voice of reason on a topic that engenders both fear and ridicule for any who seek to better inform themselves in their search for what 'truth' might be in this vast and boundless invitation to redefine both ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Touchstone for Transition
Given all that is tearing at us, seeking to capture our attention, the word 'chaos' seems to be almost too 'normal' to do justice to the great effort that is currently unfolding. And I do believe it to be an intentional effort to fracture our ability to trust ourselves and each other. More and more, less and less remains of our habituated ways of moving ...

Nassim Haramein: The Science of What We Are
One of his most recent, this conversation explores the concept of manifesting your life and what it takes to make that happen. As the exploration moves from the broad to the specific, Nassim clearly states that before we can manifest, we have to understand what we are. For those of you familiar with the WEL-Systems® journey of discovery, you will ... Continue Reading >>
All the things we don’t want to know…..
After opening remarks, the first two presenters are David Martin and Nick Hudson, both of whom I have posted here, in the past. These particular offerings are succinct, substantiated and likely deeply disturbing to all - jabbed and unjabbed, alike. In Canada, that is estimated to be over 80% of the population. Globally, in excess of 5.5 billion ... Continue Reading >>
Desperate times demand daring intentions
In my most recent post, I shared with you a sound clip from a gathering of women seeking to explore what it takes to manifest their meaningful world. That first full day of conversation was greatly enriched by the depth and breadth of both willingness and ability of the women who were there. Each had many hours of living in and from a very different ... Continue Reading >>

Unstoppable emergence
Ah yes… the unstoppable power of emergence; of that natural and essential state of Being that demands constant and perpetual movement… and change… and evolution. That is the essence of who we are. In other words: we are not intended to ever be fully baked; to ever be ‘done’; to ever think that there is any end-state to which we can/must aspire… and all else ... Continue Reading >>
Selective truth of mind-share
The longer I live, the shorter my attention span becomes. It now takes a lot for me to be drawn to engage. The conversation is the key: how big, how far and how deep can it go? At this time in my own evolution, the desire to continue to evolve and become is greater than it has ever been. As more and more, science challenges our long-held thinking on who ...

Before we can…
... we must be willing to face into and lay claim to all that has told us that we can't. Without that, we seek to spread the seeds of our potential on concrete... without breaking up the barrier and making way for the ability to penetrate to the nutrient-rich soil below. And in the face of bearing witness to that potential's inevitable and slow dying, we ... Continue Reading >>
How, then, shall you choose?
In the last month or so, I’ve written about the relationship between choice and intention; and about the underpinnings of truth and its deep roots in the mind-shaping process of parenting (and its surrogates) who fly the flag of our best interests and keeping us safe. The pull to simply capitulate and abdicate to ‘the voice of (a caring) authority’ is a ... Continue Reading >>
Truth: the elusive Unicorn in our current reality
Brace for impact: incoming rant…. What is truth? Where does truth live? How do we know when we’ve found it? Like everyone else on the planet, I grew up believing that what I was told by those who tended to me on a daily basis (inside the family circle, i.e. parents/grandparents/older siblings) and their chosen surrogates (those outside the family ...

Rats in a maze
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 ...

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 >>
