Decloaking and Living Authentically: Gateway to Transformation
Episode 79 ~ with Ella Schatzmann In a world rife with the challenge of the moment and the promise of much more to come, it is not unusual for us to feel agitated, unsure and often overwhelmed.

Dodging a bullet?
It all feels very different when it's personal; when someone you care about is living the challenges that Gaia is unleashing upon the planet. As I watch the images from Canmore, Alberta to all around the globe, I am reminded of the 'hype' around the impending global-annhilation predicted for 2012. And here we are - 2013 and counting... and our devastation ... Continue Reading >>

From Impulse to Expression
In our lives, we travel many roads and experience many discoveries. Perhaps the greatest of them all is to tap into the wellspring of genius that lives within, waiting only to weave its way through the network of beliefs of our own limitations. Once found, we become free to create and manifest. Louise A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = ... Continue Reading >>
Revisiting Possibility
Lots going on in my life, these days. Sometimes, I need to be reminded that I am always choosing; that I am always the one making the decisions and setting the boundaries on my world.

Engaging With Others to Feed Your Soul
Episode 74 ~ with Leona McIsaac Moran For the vast majority of women, cultural conditioning imbeds and demands that women be the caretakers of others and of the relationships.

Reconsidering Commitment
Today, I am revisiting the things that have long held meaning, and wonder: do they still? My commitment is and always must be, first, to mySelf. Today, I am mindful, that without a willingness to revisit my life as a living and evolving expression of 'being', my commitments become hollow and empty. I share this recording with all of you and invite you to ... Continue Reading >>
Living Life with an Edge: Daring to Awaken
What far too many women overlook is the intensity and consistency of the cultural conditioning that ensures we have no edges! Without edges, we are more willing and able to be moulded and shaped; with a greater likelihood of never noticing that we have disappeared from any notion or intention of our own creation and expression. Like matter cannot form ... Continue Reading >>

Reaping what we mindfully sow
It's Wednesday and I'm mindful of my commitment to myself to listen to/for something that will expand my world. This one (on Evolution by Intention), I've listened to a few times, mindful that it's not a quick listen; it's not an easy listen; and it's not a catchy little ditty that you can hum when you're leaving the show! It has however, reminded me of who ... Continue Reading >>

The Roar of ‘Enough!’
Around the world, men and women are beginning to stand, together and in resonant voice, to declare, 'Enough!'. Enough violence against women and girls! Enough mindlessness and brutality!

Reconsidering ‘Coaching’
As we launch our first gathering for Affiliates 2013 and anticipate the same of ACES 2013, I am mindful of two thoughts: interconnectivity and leaps! I've been working with others for more than 20 years and am clear: we need to make leaps in how we engage in the accelerated evolution of our own lives; and in our work with others. The following short ... Continue Reading >>
Voices and Choices: Tapestry of Sounds
I spend much of my time in conversation with others. As magnificent as these experiences most often are, there are times when I long for the sound of my own inner truth; the time to pause… take a breath… and listen for the sound of that which is deeply authentic to me. Perhaps in taking this pause, you too, will have the opportunity to hear ... Continue Reading >>
Finding Ourselves in the Dark
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 5:46 It is not easy to let go of our need to have what ' was ' continue to be the way it ' is '.
