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 >>

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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
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 >>
Manipulated much?
This one will take some commitment to listen to. It’s detailed and extensive. Some of it is annoying - and all of it is deeply disturbing. None of us likes to believe that our mind is not our own. And keep in mind: this is but a tiny peek into the murky world of human manipulation. Most of us have not a single clue about the degree to which we are so ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Women and Rage!
In the last 18 months, many powerful women in my reality have chosen to leave this realm. Each, in her own way, a unique expression of potential... and for some, potential unfulfilled. Having worked with women intensely and intimately for close to 30 years, I am mindful of the Fire energy that courses through the tissue of so, so many women. This Fire ... Continue Reading >>
Invitation: A Deep Dive Conversation
This conversation is for you… If you have noticed something feels “wrong” with what’s going on and you want a safe space to exhale the truth of your experience, judgment-free. If you have noticed the contradictory nature of the messages “out there” and you want a safe, supportive space to express that. If you are looking for a powerful ... Continue Reading >>
New Program with Stela Murrizi: January 2022
In the midst of it all, it is imperative that we not lose faith... in ourselves. Your body knows the vibration of 'truth', just like it knows the vibration of 'deception'. Perhaps the first step for each of us is to recognize the difference and stop betraying ourselves! Explore what a deep and life-altering dive into your own potential can look/feel ... Continue Reading >>
Awaken and Reclaim: Stela Shakti
"How “reality” is structured in our mind impacts the quality of life we believe we have access to. But, is what we’ve got really all there is? All there could be? In my experience, the more I inquire about myself within the good company of other curious women, the more I discover, the more empowered I know myself to be." In times of great uncertainty (like ...

Joseph Farrell: Cosmic Implications of Mind Control Tech
Have been meaning to share this one for a long time so, here you go! One of the things I admire most about the work of Dr. Joseph P Farrell is his ability to find the pieces; put them together; and from there, notice the emerging dots to connect. The 'big picture' is mesmerizing... and a little bit terrifying. This conversation with Greg Carlwood of The ... Continue Reading >>
Meg Wheatley: Warriors Wanted
A timely thought….
The relationship between time and memory has always fascinated me. What comes to mind is the experience of one with amnesia... who remembers nothing of who they are and/or their life and its meaning/purpose/value. In that single moment of realization presents the opportunity to redefine the quality of their life. Meandering through all of that is the ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of Surrender
Below, is a brief recording from some of the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. It’s worth watching/listening to, from beginning to end… and to discover that after decades of doing what you’ve been told to do, the answer is: STOP! And surrender. Surrender... the limitation of the intellect to the power of the body. Surrender… the truth that you are ... Continue Reading >>
Now or never: Boundless LeaderSelf™
Now - unlike at any other time in conscious memory - we are being called to create beyond the mindless and incremental that has so relentlessly shaped our collective reality. Our existing constructs of 'leadership' are proving themselves to be limited in the face of multiple incursions into the sanctity of dominion over our own lives, simultaneously ...

Poetry of Predicament Podcast: Trance State Interrupted
Naomi and I have experienced the great pleasure of each other's company for many years. Each of us has borne witness to the evolution of the other, marked by a shared deep sense of potential greater than any fear; and a willingness to simply invite and allow that which presents.... and trusting it to lead. In a rare moment, indeed, we recently got to ... Continue Reading >>
Naomi Irons: Birthright
"The letting go that preceded it all felt like I imagine death would feel like. I was freeing what once was contained deep within my human body AND all the ways I sought to hold that in check. My birthright. The right we each carry to simply BE and live from here." Sometimes, it has to look like an ending for us to be able to let go and claim the new ... Continue Reading >>
Reality: The Music Behind the Dance
“You can only dance to the music you hear." That thought would not leave me alone! By 3:00 am, I had lost count of nagging reverberations in my mind, ensuring the desire to sleep was surrendered to a greater curiosity about my own internal workings. The relentless pursuit of my attention - like a message seeking some sign of its having been received - was ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Women Shaping Culture
I believe that the future of the world is in the hands of women. It’s in how we choose to move through our lives, and our connections and interactions with others. It’s in our ability to trust in the inherent genius of living, organic systems and how they unfold and evolve. It lies in our willingness and ability to trust in our fear and do it anyway! I ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Choosing to Emerge
The start of a new year and the opportunity to pause... and make it count! It can be a daunting prospect: carving out space and time to focus 100% of your attention on yourself; choosing to leave no stone unturned in acknowledging, out loud, what you know already moves within. Not in the usual bits-and-pieces approach but in a concerted and wholistic ... Continue Reading >>
The More Things Change…
I originally wrote the article on which this post is based in 2011. I could have written it this morning. (The original article can be found here.) I find myself neither hopeful nor hopeless, but pensive... even relaxed... as I continue to trust that I am, always have been and will continue to be the creator of my own experience and its corresponding ...

Yuval Harari on Humanity, Social media, AI and our future
https://youtu.be/HMU08VI3jPM On teaching our children: "I would invest in emotional intelligence because they would need a lot of mental balance in order to cope with a very hectic and constantly changing world. Nobody knows how to teach EI on a massive scale. " I agree with the essential need to teach our children EI and I disagree with the notion ... Continue Reading >>
The Sharp Edge of Potential: CRISPR/Cas9
If you have ever doubted that the human body is a device, the following conversation may well press a few buttons for you. The following is taken from the work of Sam Harris (PhD in neuroscience): In this episode of the Waking Up podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Jennifer Doudna about the gene-editing technology CRISPR/Cas9. They talk about the biology of ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: The Edge of Potential
Strong (think: power), intense (think: passion) and definite (think: purpose) - when directed at creating what we want in our lives rather than fending off or pressing away what we do not want in our lives - take on a flow that supports the creation of Life rather than its destruction; awakens others to that potential in themselves; and leaves behind a trail ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Designing Your Life
I remember well, those days when I believed that I had to plan my life; to carefully map out the trajectory of my evolution rather than simply trust the process of my own evolving. I remember well the degree of detachment that was required in order for me to be able to do what was required; to stay the course of my own intention; and to make the sacrifices ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Violence and Silence
In my world of engaging with women who are seeking to regain their footing in their own lives, I have become mindful of two critical components that contribute immensely to keeping women in check: the first is silence and the second is isolation. One side of these is the need that women have to become silent, in an attempt to avoid reaction and diminish ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Women and Leadership
Over my 25+ years of working with others, I’ve come to conclude that expressions of, interpretations of and experiences of ‘leadership’ are deeply intimate and personal. For those with whom I engage in a more protracted exploration, they inevitably come to this simple observation: what is common to their definition of leadership is not the words they use or ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: The Line in the Sand
Consider how many times in your life you have stopped yourself from saying out loud what moves inside you; how many times you have said 'yes' to something when you wanted to say ‘no’; how frequently you have pulled back from the edge of your own thinking to, yet again, comply with the thoughts of those around you. Stop for a moment and allow yourself to ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Inviting Insights and Discoveries
How else might I choose to live my life, today? Such a simple question and yet - as one choice becomes the platform for the next - one that holds the power to profoundly transform our lives, our world and how we choose to engage that world! In many places around the world, the end of one year brings with it traditions that invite us to ponder the new ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Penetrating Cultural Coma
Life unfolds within a larger collective of others. Our unique and individual lives are touched by and often shaped by the perspectives and choices of others that include family and friends; colleagues and clients; and the cumulative impact of those whose faces we may never see and yet, their choices can shape the context within which we find our lives ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Chaos and Order
You’d have to be living in a cave on a mountain top not to notice the pace at which things in our world are shifting. Whether on the social, economic or environmental front, news reports - and our personal experience - are telling us that the world is changing in ways and at a pace that make it impossible for us not to pay attention! What is that larger ... Continue Reading >>
Climate Change: 4th Level Collapse
From a CODE Model™ perspective, I look at the world I share with more than 7,000,000,000 other humans (not to mention all of the other expressions of Life, in its many, varied and mesmerizing forms) and I know that we, as a species, are at the precipice of 'evolve or die'. What I also see is that we are in the throes of a 4th level collapse, with 2nd ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Finding Your Voice
In my close-to 30 years of working with women, far fewer women actually don’t know what they want than there are women who know… and just won’t tell. That’s a tough one: when you think that others don’t want you to have what you want or that others would turn away from you if they really knew the truth of who you are. And yet, in all those years of working ... Continue Reading >>
Memory Lane: Cherishing After Divorce
We get divorced for a reason. If we were not able to work out our differences together, not likely that we’ll be able to work them out through our children! And yet, how many of us turn away from owning our own internal states; turn away from taking responsibility for our inner world and corresponding outer turmoil, allowing our children to be lost to the ...

Memory Lane: Money and Mind
Over time, money has come to be generally accepted as the currency of choice; as the preferred medium of exchange that allows us to bring into our lives that which, without currency, we believe we could not experience. Truth is, rare is the person or the moment when we stop... take a breath... and ask ourselves: Is money the only currency? How else ... Continue Reading >>

Memory Lane: The Great Daring
In truth, incremental change is much easier for us to manage. With those tiny steps - inching ourselves forward from one day to the next - those around us are able to watch and listen, tracking for our movement and potentially, adjusting accordingly as we go. Through this process, even though we may be changing, we continue to be experienced by others as ... Continue Reading >>
Easy Listening: Women Awakening – Part 4/6
To recap (short version) from the first post: I’ve decided to share the full experience of that ‘Women Awakening’ event (Volume 3). The related sound files will unfold over the coming six weeks, each part approximately 20-30 minutes in length. These are intended to offer you food for thought; and if you’re willing, a gateway to a renewed trust in the truth ... Continue Reading >>

Memory Lane: The Men in Our Lives
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 >>
A Gift to Yourself: Intimate and meaningful conversations
Happy New Year to all! I, for one, am bursting at the seams with the sense of possibility and potential that 2010 offers us all. I know that each of us will carve out our own path as we move forward into the coming days, weeks and months, remembering that it all begins with a single breath. The world is changing - and fast! There are times when I feel ... Continue Reading >>
Another day…
I sit here, coffee in hand, ready for my day to start. Another full day of editing the recorded material from my last 'Decloaking' experience in the program room. I expect to complete the editing and move on to track and production details by the end of this week. But then, I said that last week - and life took a few turns of its own, redirecting and ...
