After almost three decades in the program room (working with both men and women), I became aware of an emerging pattern. As I moved away from experiences that were based in technique; experiences that were supported by the detailed content of ‘how to” and the manuals that they require, I noticed that the men were disappearing from the group experience. Fewer ... Continue Reading >>
Discoveries
Memory Lane: Children and Potential
One thing I’ve learned over more than 25 years of working with others - and from being a Mom,myself - is that we can be very touchy about our kids! Not so much because it’s really about any particular child but much more because as parents, we so strongly identify ourselves by who our children have become. Are my kids well-behaved, doing well in school, ... Continue Reading >>
Easy Listening: Women Awakening – Part 1/6
One of the fun parts of exploring ‘retirement’ is that as I wander through long-untouched audio files, I have discovered many, many hours of unpublished recordings. Due to constraints of available time and effort, these sound files are just now re-entering my consciousness. Given that a WEL-Systems® approach is process and context driven, the ’shelf life’ of ... Continue Reading >>
Truths, Perceptions and Choices
Everything is true somewhere, at some time, for someone - not because the content is ‘real’ or ‘accurate’ but because perception makes it so. Now prone to being awake and ready to start my day anytime after 4:00 am, I am also prone to thinking in sound bytes rather than complete sentences. Even within myself, I am noticing that I explore my own thoughts ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Reclamation of Self
Reclaiming your Self is not a single event but a living and perpetual intention. It’s a way of ‘being’ that takes us far beyond solving a problem or fixing a broken life, and offers us access to the reclamation of untapped potential to become more than we had ever imagined possible! Reclaiming your Self is a perpetual journey and not a destination. It’s a ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: The Intelligence of Pain
So many in so much pain. Physical pain. Emotional pain. Spiritual pain. We have been relentlessly trained to consider the experience of pain as the enemy, seeking to eliminate it and banish it from our lives. We use drugs to numb ourselves to its presence. We accept violent and invasive procedures to the body to cut it out of our lives. Perhaps what ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Owning Our Strategies
It’s not always easy to come face-to-face with the truth of our own lives. Keeping in mind that it’s not about good/bad, right/wrong, it can prove to be profoundly meaningful to make the time to pause and allow ourselves to consider how our lives are an authentic reflection of the truth of who we are... and how they are not. In the moment of that ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane Mondays!
Because the WEL-Systems® body of knowledge is intended to open a gateway to a paradigm change, the information that has developed over the years is at a level of thinking that bypasses strategies and behaviours. What that means is that who I ‘am’ at the first reading or listening, may not be who I have become at the opportunity of the next. ... Continue Reading >>
The Future: Growing into Grace
Recently, I had the great joy and privilege of attending the wedding of my first-born son. They were engaged in the summer of 2015. Little did I know that I would spend the following months in the grip of frequent episodes of tears… welling up from somewhere so deep within me, I could not recognize the source. It was a puzzle for me, since I felt such joy ... Continue Reading >>
Invisible Frameworks: Who Designs Them?
Woke up this morning to another beautiful day at the Chateau Montebello. Windows open, breeze blowing through the room, smell of the water….life is good! I greatly appreciated the opportunity to spend time with three strong and courageous women in what was, for me, a compelling and deeply meaningful ‘pull’ for discovery of some kind. Add to that, that I ... Continue Reading >>
Markers and Journeys
As I approach 67, I am becoming aware that I have forgotten more than I even remember having known. As I continue my journey of letting go of all that is no longer meaningful in my life, I am finding digital trails of articles, blog posts, etc long stored…. ‘just in case’… that speak to things that I now recognize as markers along the path of my own ... Continue Reading >>
Starship: The Power of the Body
Over the last 30 years of working with others, some conversations have proven to be more significant in effecting rapid, profound and generative change; have stood out as more significant in terms of the essentials of accelerated evolution of consciousness. Now, as the lives of so many of my amazing colleagues are filled with the joy of co-creating ... Continue Reading >>
Marketing: The Illusion of Choice
I’ve been thinking. And although I can’t say that’s always a good thing, it is most definitely something that even ‘retirement’ cannot seem to banish from my day. The more I move into this freedom from what was, the more I am able to see through new eyes. It all just arrives: thoughts neatly packaged, as if I’m already reading that which has been written for ... Continue Reading >>
Embracing Futility
Recently, I made the decision to make the 20-CD 'Decloaking and Living Authentically' audio material (recorded live from a 5-day intensive) available to a general audience. I did that, after much consideration, because I believe we need to do much more than change what we do or how we think. We need to redefine WHAT we believe ourselves to be. The ... Continue Reading >>
The Pause….and the Redirect
When I sold my house in the summer of 2015, little did I know that I was letting go of ‘ownership’ of so much of the familiar in my life. I gave myself to the end of 2016 to explore, discover and consider what ‘retirement’ might mean for me. That concept (for me, from the French ’se retirer’ - meaning, to remove myself; to pull myself away from or out of) ... Continue Reading >>
Lies, lies and alternative truths
Lies, lies and more lies. Or are those just alternative truths? I’ve stopped watching/reading/listening to what’s going on in (American) politics. Not because of the lies…. or ‘alternative facts’… but because I can’t bear to witness, yet again, how unable we are to act mindfully in the face of such lies. How desperate we are to WANT those we put in ... Continue Reading >>
Decloaking 20-CD’s: download now available
Decloaking and Living Authentically is a facilitated, five-day intensive experience for accelerated personal evolution. For many, many years, it has been the pivotal point for acquiring capacity to claim a new paradigm for living; launched from the solid platform of a process that appeases the intellect while feeding the Soul. Not an easy thing to ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 10
Good morning! Here I am on Day 10: The first day of the rest of my life. I think of the completion of this cycle of enquiry as the end of a long, steady and deep inhalation… of my Self. Now, I pause… and in this continuing cycle… I enter into the long, slow and deep exhalation as I choose to live my life as an expression of the integration that now ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 9
Good morning! Day 9: the penultimate, in this journey of inner exploration. We are almost complete, ever mindful that we can begin anew anytime we choose. There is never an end - only pauses along the way to live out discoveries and re-awaken the desire for yet another deep dive into the unclaimed possibilities. How does it go? The purported Chinese ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 8
Good morning! Inside myself, the ’tone’ of my own enquiry has shifted. As I move from what I know or have known, to what I know I don’t know, there is a sense of being set adrift in a weightless environment. Perhaps this is what a walk in space might feel like. I am more present to the moment; more in the ’now’ as I release myself from searching and ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 7
Good morning! In my own life and with others, I became aware of patterns and how these patterns, themselves, become the very fabric of our existence; aware that they come to shape our very lives into what we come to call ‘reality’. These patterns come to be relied upon as not only the right thing and the appropriate thing, but the essential thing for our ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 6
Good morning! It has been the longest 5 days of my life! :) Great surges of insight! Deep undulations, reminiscent of those from so long ago. Churning and swirling and twisting….. constant movement of the Soul, as is to be expected when a Great Journey is undertaken. And in this moment, calm. This is what it must be to enter into the eye of a ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 5
Good morning, All! Today, I feel the wrenching. And the truth is: sometimes, when something has been fixed for so long, the wrenching is required for it to be dislodged. A very, very old wave activates as I notice an inner voice speaking to me, in the timbre and cadence of a much younger me, chastising that I have gone too far. That I have asked too ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 4
Good morning! As I settle comfortably at the keyboard… first coffee of the day gratefully within easy reach… I am mindful of the sounds of a new day beginning, as they stream through the open window behind me. The light of dawn and dusk hold a special promise. Light softened yet still allowing for all to be seen, there is a peace as the harsh light of day ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 3
Good morning, All! The dawning of Day 3 and already, it feels as if we have been here for weeks! Clearly, I am in the right place, at the right time and with the right people. With every thought you share, my own expand. The awakening of internal cues is palpable. As I read, I am aware of the great courage that it takes to dive so quickly into the ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 2
Good morning! An earlier start to my day, today, as I am off to Carleton U for a lecture series on astronomy. Yup, not much to do with anything I usually do, and I’m loving it! What great joy to read your insights about yourself, revealed and shared! I have long known - for myself and in my life - that in the choice between willing and able, willing is ... Continue Reading >>
You’re Invited: 10-day Writing Adventure!
I recently had the great privilege of stepping into the ‘Whispers from Within’ 10-day writing experience with a small group of women. These women were asked to be on this journey with me, bringing the full measure of their own concurrent evolution as I chose to dive more deeply into my own. The results for us all, have been outstanding and ... Continue Reading >>
The Mother/Daughter Dance
Tomorrow will be my Mom's 91st birthday. Inside the strong, straight body that moves her through my world, her mind continues to fade into a world that only she can navigate. As I prepare to make the drive to spend time with her, I am grateful that she is happy, healthy and at peace with her reality. Today, as a result of conversations with another ... Continue Reading >>
Timelessness….
Yesterday, was a really lovely day! In my cozy sanctuary, my Ohana gathered to be in the good company of each other. My always-funny, sometimes-outrageous and ever-loving sons; their wisely-chosen and equally-compelling partners; and long-time, close friends gathered for good food, great conversation and side-splitting stories of long-ago mishaps and ... Continue Reading >>
One of My (Many!) Moments of Truth…
The Women Gathering retreat - at the recent Fairmont Chateau Montebello in November - has left me increasingly curious about my/your/our future. (Stay tuned: Blog post to come re the discovery of a 'Free Fall' exploration and its impact.) Much has stayed with me from that experience, not the least of which is the thought, below: We are rapidly ... Continue Reading >>
Seeing Through the Eye of the Storm
Recently, there has been lots of turmoil. Lots of change and uncertainty. Life coming and Life going away. Many new ideas and considerations. New and different paths from which to choose, needing first to explore and discover the underlying mechanism for choosing that will enliven my 'being'. Random thoughts coming and going, some taking root and some ... Continue Reading >>
I am changed
I’ve been ‘at this’ for a very long time (since I was 18 and I’m 61). You would think that, by now, I’d have a handle on it and would have become adept at the strategies of living my life in this way. Truth is, that is not true. These last three days have found me in the intensive conversations that are the platform for certification as a CODE Model ... Continue Reading >>
Awakening… to what?
Like millions of others on the planet, I often turn to Facebook and allow myself to wander around and see what’s up in the world. As one who is both mindful of the notion of being ‘awake’ or ‘awakening’ - for myself and in my engagements with others - I am always willing and able to consider that one new insight or that single compelling thought that just ... Continue Reading >>
Catching Up to MySelf
I just realized that my last posting here was July 5th. Four days later, my 86YO mother fell and broke her hip... and my life changed. Exactly one week later, my teenage step-daughter was taken to the hospital in a coma, where she remained so for 12 days. An extensive stay in intensive care led to what now, may likely be a long and slow recovery. And ... Continue Reading >>
Change or Die!
I am having one of those moments when I am either seeing polar opposites or am seeing in polar opposites. I am so mindful of the deep, urgent and massive desire that exists for an acceleration in the evolution of consciousness of the masses. The outcomes we are co-creating as a global collective are moving rapidly down a track that will kill us all. Gaia ... Continue Reading >>
Everything old is new again….
Today, I received a request from a PhD candidate in Sociology (Sydney, Australia) to quote a section from an article that I had written some time ago. It was such a gift to me to have been reminded of those thoughts from what seems like ages ago... that I might find my way through these changes, in these times, in my own life. Funny, don't you think? My ... Continue Reading >>
Women in Business: Shaping Culture
I've been gathering my thoughts in anticipation of today's eWomenNetwork Success Institute event. I look forward to this conversation, not only in terms of what I want to share with others but in recognition that I will discover so much more about myself, from this adventure! I left my j-o-b in the fall of 1990, a few short weeks after realizing that as ... Continue Reading >>
A Meaningfully Sustainable Life/World
It's been an incredible few weeks. Lots of 'stuff' going on; so much creativity and innovation; so many new ideas, projects, conversations, programs, experiences, etc. coming into expression, leaving me breathless with the potential revealed... ready and waiting for me to engage the next wave! Does it get any better than this? Last week, I spent two days ... Continue Reading >>
Scorecards
It's been a long time since I've considered the notion of 'keeping score'... maybe because now, the games I play are intended exclusively for my own accelerated evolution, and not much else! Is that a good thing? A bad thing? I have no idea - I only know that I love being me. I think that's a clue. A couple of weeks ago, I was reminded of the notion of ... Continue Reading >>
When does less become more?
When DOES less become more? When does slowing down speed up my evolution? When can doing nothing be exactly the right thing to do? This may be a moment that will pass, or it could be the impending turn in the road that will take me to a new destination. As I take this breath and lay fingers to keyboard, I have no idea which truth will become my own. I ... Continue Reading >>
“My people…”
November has been an incredible month for me - not just because of its intensity but because of the acceleration of my own evolution, as a result of it! November began with the first of two Engaging and Awakening Others women's intensives, offered in Halifax. A small group of women gathered, talking about their lives and the potential that awaited... if ... Continue Reading >>
Sleeping to awaken
I am feeling the urge to reveal myself, to myself. I know of no better way to do this than to allow the words to flow out the ends of my fingers onto the screen, ultimately allowing me to discover who I have become. Last week, in the good company of a loving and ferocious friend, I created space for myself to stop... let all of it go... and rediscover who ... Continue Reading >>
The pause that refreshes
Tomorrow, I head for Toronto for a matinee, dinner with wonderful friends, a stay in a 5-star hotel.... and the pause that will allow me to leave my existing thoughts behind. It's not that they're not good thoughts or useful thoughts or even greatly beneficial thoughts, it's that they are thoughts of a kind that have shaped my world and yet have, in some ... Continue Reading >>
I had a dream…
.... or was it a vision? Some might say its a ‘phase shift’ or drifting between worlds. Whatever it was, it came with an insight. I was awake and yet knew myself to be dreaming. The dream unfolded in great detail in the time it took for me to draw a breath. The world was in chaos. Massive change - unlike anything we had ever known or could likely ... Continue Reading >>
Not knowing IS the way
There are moments (like this one) when I realize that I have not chosen an easy path. Even as I write those words, I know I have not chosen (as if it could have been anything else!) but have simply unfolded in the direction that has now become my life. Something inside presses me to make sense of this for the benefit of others and yet, I decline to follow ... Continue Reading >>
Bubbling up from the turmoil
Wow... has it been that long? As much as I could tell the story of it all, the story now seems completely irrelevant. What feels so much more potent is the place where I continue to stand, not always easy or comfortable and yet knowing that it is exactly where I need to be. So many thoughts continue to come into my awareness, some with great ease - ... Continue Reading >>
Speechless
Rare is the occasion when I cannot find the right words to express what moves inside me. I've spent 40 years of my life - as a way of life! - on this journey of personal discovery and evolution. I'm not quite sure when the turn in the road took me beyond seeking with my head to allowing myself to be found through the body; from seeking to solve a problem ... Continue Reading >>
Whose fault is it, anyway?
Sometimes, I miss having someone else to blame for the state of my body... of my life. I lament the 'good ole days' of believing - heart and soul - that the world 'out there' was doing things to me... that other people were doing things to me... and that I was a righteous and legitimate victim of my circumstances. There are moments when I long for it to be ... Continue Reading >>
If WEL-Systems® is a gateway to a new paradigm, what’s the old one?
In all my years of working with others to help them understand and access the paradigm that a WEL-Systems journey makes possible, it has never occurred to me to first speak to and identify the existing paradigm in which we live. I have always assumed that it was obvious. These days, I'm thinking, not so much.... Trying to answer that question is like ... Continue Reading >>
The desire to pounce
The 6-day ‘Manifesting a Meaningful Life’ experience is THE conversation that lights me up! Big! Bold! Boundless and formless! Edgy, provocative, compelling… not because it’s a pathway but because it’s the unsettled, feral essence of our potential being. It is not that we move through those conversations, it is more that we trek… and climb the rock ... Continue Reading >>
Feral Consciousness
In my own, decades-old journey of personal discovery, I have long been a student of the notion of the evolution of consciousness; or the acceleration of consciousness; or those of awakened consciousness and expanded consciousness. In my own thoughts and in my conversations with others, there has been this ‘other-worldly' quality of and to consciousness... ... Continue Reading >>
My Dilemma of the Terrible Embrace
I continue to be held in the terrible embrace of my two worlds : the one I have lived and the one I know is waiting for me, to be lived. I see it played out in the inner turmoil and tension I am experiencing around the notion of decloaking; around the notion of ‘being silenced' vs ‘being silent' - one imposed from the outside, in, making me a helpless, ... Continue Reading >>
Density, intensity and manifestation
It happened on Saturday and has been rumbling around inside me since then. A seemingly harmless Valentine's Day breakfast among friends - and my life is changed. I arrived with a sense of agitation, having spent about 20 hours editing the soon-to-be ready for production, multi-CD set on 'CODE Model Coaching™ - Part 2: The Awakened Self'. Having ... Continue Reading >>
Paradigm of BEING
It's one of those moments. Things are moving way too fast - inside, where I live - for me to be able to calibrate or track for specifics, or for information in any kind of order. It is all an explosion of formless and nameless ‘stuff' and yet, I know it all makes perfect sense. For some time, I've been mindful of the degree to which a WEL-Systems® ... Continue Reading >>
Being In-Different
As my world continues to unfold, moment-to-moment in an Emerging Future, I am beginning to notice something about myself. I care deeply and passionately. I live my life from RIGing - for myself and others. I am indifferent. Hmmm.... I wonder out loud... how do all those fit together? I am in-different. I don't need to be the same as you or have you be ... Continue Reading >>
Money and Manifestation
A small group of women gathering, talking... about the impact and meaning of 'money' in their lives. The language of 'currency', 'money', 'wealth' and 'abundance' came into my awareness as I was getting ready to head out to this gathering. For me, this is another layer in the Currency of Consciousness conversation. It was indeed, a great conversation ... Continue Reading >>
Polar ice cap: just how fast is it melting?
I got an email today from a family friend who has recently been posted to the Far North. Lou left Ottawa in late '08 and is now living and working amongst those in the community of Qikiqtarjuaq (spell that without looking!). Those of us who are in Lou's life have the great fun of getting her newsy (and sometimes very funny!) updates and pics on life in ... Continue Reading >>
RIGing – a powerful alternative to ‘love’
I've come to conclude that the language of ‘love' is highly overrated! Having just completed a week-long conversation with a small group of women gathering... talking about their lives... it became clear to me that we have mastered a huge variety of ways to denigrate ourselves in the name of ‘love'. "Love' is not real. It's a nominalization... a code word ... Continue Reading >>
Sorting out Shadows
More pieces are coming into my awareness. Yesterday, I had time with a wonderful woman whose company lights up my day! Lisa dropped by the office because of a technical problem with CD's... only to discover once she got there, there were no problems. AND we had a great conversation! I feel compelled to acknowledge that our messages come in the strangest ... Continue Reading >>
Hints of things to come
I'm in the middle of a retreat or program experience, and I find myself observing myself saying something. A small voice inside me (somewhere) says: "Pay attention to that - that's important. " And in the blink of an eye, it's gone. Hours will go by, possibly even days, and it happens again. I'm saying something and notice a sentence or a new word in ... Continue Reading >>
Restlessness….
I am aware of the degree to which I am restless... agitated... ready to move! I am also mindful of the speed at which change can occur (from my Manifesting 6-day of last week) and the alternative state of paralysis that is a reflection of the attempt to manifest from the intellect. Slooooowwwwwwwing down to re-enter what is considered 'normal' is creating ... Continue Reading >>
From depression/despair to delight!
I had an amazing experience, recently. A very dear friend wrote me in a state of despair. In a moment of engaging, I shared some thoughts with him - and his world changed. Imagine! Such profound shifts from such little effort! Can it really be that effortless? In a matter of days, he started a new life and is now LIVING! If that's not magic, I don't ... Continue Reading >>
Invitations to greatness
There are always bumps in the road. Just how dull would it be if the road were always smooth, without any twists or turns to test our attention and our skill.... to test our willingness and ability... to own both the destination and the journey? I'm one of the lucky ones. In my life, I cross paths with more genius women than likely my fair share. ... Continue Reading >>
The forces that shape culture
I really must stop listening to the radio when I'm in the car. Will I ever not have something to say???? Today's topic was young offenders and the impact (or lack thereof) of longer sentences. An interview with a criminologist spoke to the degree to which more and longer incarceration periods were not achieving the outcome of reducing crime rates ... Continue Reading >>
Alive and well and trundling along…
Wow! Time sure flies when you're having fun! When I checked the date of my last post to this blog, I was struck by how quickly I've gone from July 7th to August 21st. Lots has happened and I know there is lots more to come. Since July, I've seen my life take some dramatic turns. Perhaps the most stunning (for me) was that the July offering of ... Continue Reading >>
Imaginal Cells
It seems that since that fateful day in January 2006, my life has been a constant stream of turning points. From that small gathering in January 2006 came the Declaration of Evolution by Intention, the Sekhmet Rising book, Emerging Futures as a process for mindful and meaningful living, a profound shift in the approach to 'certification', new direction for ... Continue Reading >>
For the love of dancing… Part 2
Even when I sleep, I am still dancing! I awoke this morning with an yet another insight into my experience of dancing. My dancing is not dependent on whether or not I like the music, the people or the environment. Dancing is an essential form of expression of who I AM in my world. Music or no music; classical, rock or jazz, dancing is still the ... Continue Reading >>
Living is a choice…
... but living fully is a determination... an intention and an accompanying presence that will not be swayed by anything outside itself... and one that requires we be awake, fully present and both willing and able to engage. Living fully is no small feat in a world of mediocrity and complacency. That's not rhetoric but the cold, hard truth of what stands ... Continue Reading >>
Breathing is good….
Since returning from the Emerging Futures: Entrepreneurial Women retreat, I'm noticing that I can hardly breathe! From one day to the next, I catch myself holding my breath - time and again - and wonder what that's all about! Typically, breathing comes easily and effortlessly, bringing with it a sense of the vast Space that I AM for my own evolution. But ... Continue Reading >>
What I’m up to
It feels like I'm ready to come up for air and check out the rest of the world. Between my time in Hawaii, my re-entry into the world of grocery shopping and laundry, engaging in programs and with clients and - let's not forget! - the riveting moments of 'Dancing with the Stars', I'm just now feeling like I'm back in the game and ready to play! For some ... Continue Reading >>
My life: re-entry
I love being in the deep end of the pool! I love the power of the conversations and the way they change lives. "Just talking' is more than enough to guide us all through 'invite and allow' that we might find a new place to stand. I love the intensity that accompanies this highly personal, individual and unique journey of discovery. No two of us are the ... Continue Reading >>
Radical, you say???
That we change is not what separates us from the rest of the world. HOW we change, is. We are not the first (and likely will not be the last) who claim to have found a way to accelerate their personal evolution; to create profoundly meaningful lives for ourselves. Given that I've been in the ‘personal growth' world both as a participant and as a ... Continue Reading >>
I am a changed woman…
My time in Hawaii is almost complete. Tomorrow, I leave the Big Island until the spring of 2009 when I return for a four-day retreat for women. Emerging Futures: Power, Passion and Purpose will change lives... including my own! (More information will follow on this 'Emerging Futures' retreat re dates, etc.) I am already a changed woman. During my time ... Continue Reading >>
Ohana gathers
And so, we begin. I am on the Big Island of Hawaii, at the magnificent Mauna Lani Bay Resort. Slowly, over the last few days, 'ohana' (or family of choice) has been gathering in this place to spend time in shared discovery. Our first time together will be in about an hour, at the Aloha Reception for the 22 of us who are here. In this moment, my heart ... Continue Reading >>
Taking it back!
Another one of those moments... driving to work listening to the CBC. This time, I caught the tail end of a conversation about how difficult it is becoming (at least, in Ontario) for people to find a family physician. The conversation also explored the characteristics of the patients that doctors don't want (my words, not theirs....that would be much too ... Continue Reading >>
Going home…
This time next week, I will have been on the Big Island of Hawaii for 24 hours. The last time I was there (September 2006), I missed the earthquake by three weeks. However, during my entire stay, I could feel the earth move under my feet; and I could hear its sound. As much as I knew that 2007 was not my time to be in Hawaii, I know that April 2008, ... Continue Reading >>
Sainthood and Martyrdom: It’s a girl thing
I spent time today with a woman I consider to be a good friend. We've known each other for about 6 years, and yet it feels like just the slightest brush of time. If you offered me money to pick one thing about her that I don't like, I'd be hard pressed to come up with something. When I think of her or engage with her, my experience is always one of ... Continue Reading >>
Activist for Acceleration of Human Evolution
It seems like I blinked and a couple of weeks went by. I've been listening to and editing for production the raw recorded material from the October 2007 offering of Emerging Futures: Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed. What an amazing experience! What felt so strange about it is that as I listened to my own voice (there was more than 24 hours of recorded ... Continue Reading >>
Bifurcation for mothers and their sons
I care deeply for the people in my life. My mother tells me that my greatest strength lies in my obvious and unwavering passion for my family. (I think she's a little biased....) And given the nature of the work that I do - of how I live my life and the great intimacy that comes from my time spent in experiences with clients - my clients very often come ... Continue Reading >>
Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Lynn Andrews and so many others
There are many people in the world who are devoting their lives to helping human beings find their way to more expansive and authentic expression of 'the divine' in their lives. My personal favourites include people like Lynn Andrews, Bruce Lipton, Candace Pert, Joseph Chilton Pearce and many, many others. Each of them, in his/her own way, is offering an ...

Instructions for opening your eyes
What you see depends on where you stand and what direction you choose to look in. Hardly rocket science and yet, it appears that we so rarely think about any of it. What we see also depends on whether our eyes are open or closed. Try as they might, no one can explain to you how to open your eyes. You have to just do it, trusting your body to guide the ... Continue Reading >>
The power of contagion of an awakened organic collective
When I am in this state (which I never really quite know how to describe to anyone else that may make sense to them!), new ideas come in burps. Like blips on the screen of life, they just show up, make their presence felt and then disappear. However, something lingers and gravitates to yet another something that has been hanging there... waiting... ... Continue Reading >>
Waiting…
Sometimes, silence says it all. I think of those times as moments in the void; as small movements and ripplings in the womb of potential; as my world shapeing itself without striving or effort, without intention or design; gaining strength by being quiet, being still and letting go. I seem to be in my greatest time of l'lessons learned'. As strange as it ... Continue Reading >>
Growing pains
I've been living with chaos in my life, off and on, for a lot of years (and I know it is often no easy task). As powerful as a WEL-Systems® approach is, and as deeply meaningful as it is to me in the living of my own life, I had become restless about it and who I was becoming. I care deeply for the people I engage with; and as much as I delight in their ... Continue Reading >>
A new breed of woman?
