These are interesting times! Without precedent and the accompanying pre-packaged, well-practised, habituated responses, we are faced with mindfully choosing the behaviours which we think will best serve our interests and those of others we care about. In truth, we are now in a time when those ‘others’ must include any and all with whom we may come in ... Continue Reading >>

Paradigm shift
The gateway to a paradigm shift will not be found with the intellect. Only the body has the capacity for the processing speed and volume of information required to take us there. ... Continue Reading >>
Yuval Noah Harari: We become what we think about
No matter what the moment presents, we are faced with deciding how it's going to go. Either (A) we allow the moment to become the context for our decisions, or (B) we expand the context of who/what we are from within which we make choices that redefine the moment. Perhaps not as familiar, habituated or easy as (A) might appear to be, (B) has a future that ... Continue Reading >>

I decided that the dominant culture could not have me back, and each attempt they made to invite me back toward the pack mentality strengthened my internal resolve. The truth is, it has always been my life, and my life has never been up for debate. My life was never ... Continue Reading >>
COVID-19: Toward the Light
I see no value in seeking to paralyze ourselves with fear. 60 Minutes Australia has gone a very credible job presenting a full picture. Not pretty... and not a surrender to our sense of desperation, either. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a freight train! ... Continue Reading >>
FREE ~ Cultural Crones: The Power of Permission
Provocative times call for provocative choices. This is one of those times. In a recent post, I shared a TEDtalk re COVID-19. What stood out for me is that this particular virus transforms (attacks is one way of thinking of it - transforming is quite another) the lungs. In my world, from a CODE Model™ perspective, the lungs are the 4th Chakra (AIR ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Women, Leadership and Creation
"Today, I know that as woman, I am creator of my own life. The only validation I require to lead is that of my own intuition. I trust that we are designed to embrace that which has been a threat to patriarchy (note, not men) for tens of centuries and thousands of cultures worldwide: our ability to lead from our unique and intuitive femininity. Our ability to ... Continue Reading >>
