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 >>
Navigating Chaos: That Inside Voice…
It’s not the absence of grand gestures - it's the presence of those small, daily betrayals of our own truth that leave us silent and desperate for some ‘other’ to stop it and/or change it. While we wait, the pressure builds… inside us, where we live… as it becomes impossible for us to NOT notice our capitulation, yet again, to that which we do not want. ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: The Intimacy of Self Discovery
I am one of the very, very lucky ones! On a regular basis, and whenever I choose, I get to both initiate and/or participate in the creations of others that are intended to and designed for mindful evolution of Self, for its own sake. How many people have easy access to that kind of creative exploration, innovative thinking and resilient living? In the ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: The Roots of Magic in Manifestation
As we do every month, a small group of deeply curious women gathered to reconsider what it takes to manifest a reality of one's own choosing. And as always, buttons got pushed, rage awakened and tears flowed. And so did the laughter and the delight as the flashes of insight emerged and.... poof!... in a nano-second, 'reality' morphed. There is an ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Mind Control
As always, this monthly exploration of who we can become in the face of chaos is not for those who dabble. The recent ’Navigating Chaos’ exploration was devoted to the many layers of mind control. In the turbulent times of a world in upheaval, being able to stand in a different place and become more - not less - discerning; and to intentionally seek ... Continue Reading >>
Women: Awake! – Stela Murrizi and Jennifer Hatt
Two of my favourite people! Stela and Jennifer explore the outcome of completing a year-long experience with Stela, intended to awaken the Crone and the power of boundaries in a life well-lived. No small feat - a 12-month commitment takes a powerful intention and deep commitment to not lose one's Self along the way. Great conversation! ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Layers of Loss
Today brings the third and final sound clip from a recent Navigating Chaos experience. This one explores the many layers of the process of loss, encouraging discovery of the unexamined and often unclaimed, unique insights that loss can provoke. Too often, habits and history limit who we can become from embracing loss as the invitation to create, ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Who will you choose to be?
And the beat goes on... and on... and on..... The drums of war - of war with ideas and concepts; with ourselves and each other; and perhaps, worst of all, with our own inner truth - are moving from a distant drone to a vibration in the chest, as they move closer to home. Decision time. No longer something 'out there' to be observed and dismissed as not ... Continue Reading >>
Navigating Chaos: Touchstone for Transition
Given all that is tearing at us, seeking to capture our attention, the word 'chaos' seems to be almost too 'normal' to do justice to the great effort that is currently unfolding. And I do believe it to be an intentional effort to fracture our ability to trust ourselves and each other. More and more, less and less remains of our habituated ways of moving ...

What is truth?
The battle rages as we struggle to make our way through the constant press for mind-share. Talking heads everywhere. The familiar, synchronized droning from ‘official channels’ and the jarring interruptions from the upstart ‘radicals’ who refuse to be silent. Experts in government trashing highly credentialed other experts, in an effort to own the winning ... Continue Reading >>
