Provocative
Observations
Have you noticed how time is moving more quickly? Are you noticing that more things seem easily forgotten… quickly becoming irrelevant when in times past, they would have seemed essential to retain? Can you feel the degree to which what once mattered, no longer does? As a species, we’re changing. Our planet is changing. Our future is changing. And through ... Continue Reading >>
Synchronicity….
Don't you just love how it all works?!?!?!?! First, the TedTalk on women and anger; and then, this powerful, unique and individual expression from one woman and her deeply committed personal journey. Check out Stela Shakti blog post for today: Breath: The Vehicle to Personal Evolution Can it be that simple? Yes. Can it be that powerful? ... Continue Reading >>
Line in the sand…..
I've been working with women for close to 30 years. Two things that have always stood out in my ever-deepening conversations with them: they are often shocked and terrified by the depth of their own rage; and they are pissed to discover that their well-honed and practised 'appropriate-ness' will not take them where they want to go. They are ... Continue Reading >>
Creeping Reality
“Reality!” We say that like it is an absolute and we all share it. Yet, I know ‘reality’ to be fluid…. fickle… at times even, whimsical… and unwilling to be boxed. There is the one that is visible to me through my personal sensing of it - the one for which I calibrate as I look out my window and notice the hills in the distance, the rising sun and the ...

Mind Share: Possibilities
Another insight into the joys of my retirement: I have an abundance of ‘empty space’ into which I can flow my interests. For those of you who have come to know me over time, you already know my interests encompass things like abrupt climate change, biocentrism (Robert Lanza), transhumanism (from Joseph Farrell to Ray Kurzweil), GMO’s, vaccinations, the ...

Climate Inaction: Denial or Design?
To others, I leave the task of the clarion call. The task of identifying all that is not right in the world. The task of naming the forces that will move us closer and closer to the edge. The task of tracking the inventory of the seemingly insurmountable. I recognize the need for it and I also recognize that none of these are representative of why I exist at ... Continue Reading >>
Leadership
Incomplete (yet meaningful) thoughts!
Sometimes, it just lands a bullseye. It. The proverbial point of no return. The moment of acquisition of clarity. The great and memorable flash of insight that - in a breath! - changes a world… and a life. The more untethered I become to matter, the less matter holds together as a ‘fact’ or ‘truth’. As I gain distance and it fades into the background, ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 9 – Living with Amnesia
Today is Day 9 of 10. A sense of relief. Like the horse heading back to the barn at the end of a long day. A sense of peace, as this leg of the journey comes to an end; and a sense of the unearthed provocation that I know awaits. In my experience, it is impossible to ask questions without knowing intuitively that in doing so, new (and often, bigger) ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 8 – Conscious Consumption
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 just wait…. for the ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 7 – The Danger of Conversation
When this 10-day ‘Whispers from Within’ process first emerged, oh-so-long-ago, it did so not in pieces but as one, congruent whole. It only followed that once the 7 layers of discovery piece was written, there would naturally emerge a process to coax out its expression in a way that could be generalized and shared. From that came this 10-day writing ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 6 – Allowing the Hunger to Feed
As one who trusts deeply in the intuitive… that inner truth often devoid of outer evidence…. I am naturally drawn to what is called prophecy or the pre-cognitive. How could it be otherwise? Perhaps the difference lies, for me, in the source of the precognition: my own or that of another. When that of another, the same principles apply as they do for any ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 4 – Follow the Agitation
It seems like I’ve been in this exploration forever…… Each of you, as an expression of some aspect of my own consciousness, is calling up within me a different facet of this prism of exploration. I read and re-read your thoughts many times, allowing what moves to stabilize before I move on. I am choosing to be in this process with a relaxed rigour: ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 3 – Provocation
There are no accidents in the intelligent Universe that is my reality. I started my day by listening to Yuval Noah Harari in conversation about the two most important skills for the rest of your life. As I listened, two significant distinctions emerged for me: the boundaries between mind (the Signal of the I AM that I am) and body (the exquisite, organic ... Continue Reading >>
The Chooser Shapes the Choice
It has been said that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience - we are spiritual beings having a human experience. It may well be that the Great Game of our existence is to find our way back and reclaim the very spark of our creation. Perhaps, in this, there is no greater evidence of the power of choice, to determine the context from which ... Continue Reading >>
Refusing to Disappear: Living Large
My choice today, for myself and in sharing with all of you, is called 'Living Large in an Increasingly Smaller World'. It is not what we do, it is who we believe we can become. As our world begins to feel smaller and tighter, rather than curl in on ourselves, we must expand into our Selves. For a new context for evolution, click here to read the ... 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! Enough looking the other way and pretending it isn't so! Enough fabrication of story to make it right and noble! Enough! The toughest conversation we will ever have is the ... Continue Reading >>
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 >>
The Power of the Process
There are lots of different ways to see the world... At the close of a recent gathering of WEL-Systems Institute Affiliates, Louise LeBrun shared her thoughts on what the WEL-Systems® body of knowledge offers those who are seeking transformation. In her usual candid way, Louise speaks to the power of context for shaping our lives; and to 'process' as ... Continue Reading >>
Personal Coaching: Going Bigger, Moving Faster and Finding Transformation
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 11:51 To change our language from 'counselling/therapy' to 'coaching' is not enough to make the difference that so many of us desperately seek. We must also change our own thoughts…our own energetic frameworks… within which we hold our definition of WHAT a human being is, for how we define WHAT we are will ... Continue Reading >>
Balance: Bogus Bounty?
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 5:54 Many devote time and effort to creating balance in their lives. Consider for a moment: what might our lives become if we were to free ourselves from the notion of 'balance' and seek, instead, to create meaning in our lives? You are invited and encouraged to add your comments and share this ... Continue Reading >>
Addiction: Recovery or Re-discovery?
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 7:05 Freedom, like safety, is an inside job. Before we can be free of our so-called 'addictions', we must first free ourselves of our own dated and limited thinking about them. Consider the outrageous and allow yourself to get curious about: where is the intelligence in my moving through my world this way? And were ... Continue Reading >>
What Does it Take for Women to Lead?
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 10:55 The words 'leader' or 'leadership' are rife with cultural rules and expectations - many of them holding little or no interest for the vast majority of women who ponder the possibilities. Before women become willing to lead, it may be required to redefine leadership in ways that become more meaningful. It ... Continue Reading >>
Sekhmet Rising: The Restlessness of Women’s Genius
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 15:13 Sekhmet Rising: The Restlessness of Women’s Genius The ancient Eqyptian goddess, Sekhmet, represents what the living expression of women can be. With the body of a woman and the head of the lioness, she calls to and awakens in us the truth of our capacity to give birth, to nurture and to sustain; and reminds ... Continue Reading >>
Families: Behavioural Fractals
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 6:03 Families: Behavioural Fractals "He's just a chip off the old block!" We read those words and know instantly what they mean: that we are an expression of those who have come before us. How does that happen? How do we get to be moulded and shaped in ways that leave us believing that we ARE what we've been ... Continue Reading >>
Living Large in an Increasingly Smaller World
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 12:09 When we look around at our world and how we move through it, consider the endless invitations that present for us to begin to notice that every choice we make is a reflection of our state of being, which then defines our world. If our world is in trouble (and it is), it may be time to stop... and ponder... ... Continue Reading >>
Programmed for Predictable?
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 7:13 We want to think of ourselves as unique and special. Yet, how much of how we move through our lives has become habituated and repetitive... and worse, completely outside of our awareness?! Take the time to stop... and pay attention... trusting that no matter what you discover, your world will have become ... Continue Reading >>
Letting Go
A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 5:02 It's not always easy to move on. For each of us, there comes a time when in order for us to receive, we must loosen our grip around what 'is' that something new might 'become'. You are invited and encouraged to share this recording and to add your thoughts / comments Letting Go by Louise ... Continue Reading >>
