...making damn sure you don’t turn away from what’s been buried beneath the surface for far too long. I have done a lot of deep inner work, but nothing—nothing—has ever cracked me open quite like Decloaking with Stela. This wasn’t just another coaching session, self-help program, or course—it was a soul-level activation. From the moment I started ... Continue Reading >>

Memory Lane: Who Says it has to be Hard!
Transformation – although far too often over-promised and under-delivered! – is what my clients are looking for. Not incremental change; not small adjustments and little twists on the status quo, but those huge and irreversible changes to the way they move through the world. Our greatest invitation is to be able to free ourselves from our own limitations and ... Continue Reading >>
Getting Through the Bullshit
If I may be so bold…. It’s tough, these days, to get through the bullshit.. and there is plenty of it to go around. Years of it! Piled higher and deeper, as we lurch from one cultural/social/ shock to the next…. wondering… WTF?!? I have no idea what the alternatives are for you. No idea what you think is true/real/etc or not. Not a clue whether ... Continue Reading >>
Ed Dowd with Bret Weinstein: The Bigger Picture
Interesting.... A look at human behaviour through the lens of a rigorous scrutiny of patterns and trends. Connecting dots. Noticing the bigger picture and watching as the waves of insight race toward the shore of our seemingly finite capacity to absorb the impact of our own realizations. This is a deep dive that requires the same rigour ... Continue Reading >>
One Mother’s Transformation: a story, shared
It can be a challenge to accept that transformation happens in a breath... in the blink of an eye... and is a choice. This shared, life-changing experience (below) comes from a woman who has been a part of Stela Murrizi's year-long Unapologetically Unfuckwithable: Embracing the Crone that I AM . Mother to a young girl who came into her life from an ... Continue Reading >>

Here is what she found out... right from the cutting edge of AI. ======================= WEL-Systems® is a transformative approach to personal and professional development that focuses on empowering individuals to create meaningful and sustainable change in ...

Becoming Unglued
Constantly feeding the Fear Machine is essential. Without that undercurrent of fear, we become willing to slow down... and pause… and examine what becomes evident beyond our desperation for strategies to escape the moment we're in. With the passage of time, data accumulate that reveal the popcorn trail of where we have been. Bits and pieces begin to ... Continue Reading >>
WEL-Systems® Body of Knowledge
The WEL-Systems® body of knowledge is a road map - not a destination. It does not seek to define us. It offers us a gateway to a paradigm and a process which, when engaged, make it possible for us to redefine ourselves. ... Continue Reading >>
Transformation
The power to transform does not lie in any particular 'correct' assumption. It lies in your willingness to tell the truth - out loud and in the presence of others - about the assumptions you already carry that you hold as truth. ... Continue Reading >>
Beyond solving a problem to transforming a life…
There is an unapologetic ferocity to how Stela chooses to live her life. Annoying? For some. Provocative? For many! Compelling and life-giving? Always! ™™™ Perhaps her greatest gift lies in the unrelenting press for us to notice: how it once was, no longer is. Our world has already changed and we seem to be in no great hurry to notice and/or do ... Continue Reading >>

Triggering Life Choices: What is QuantumTLC™ ?
QuantumTLC™ (QTLC) is an essential part of the perpetually-evolving body of knowledge known as WEL-Systems®. For more than two decades, this profound and life-expanding experience has been at the very core of my own evolution; and a critical aspect in assisting others in embracing a richer, fuller and more meaningful, creative and authentic way of Being, in ...

New post: Stela Shakti
Culturally... globally... we are caught/trapped in the bands of the hurricane. Every moment of every day, we seek the right information that we might make the right choices - for ourselves and those we care about. Consider, for a moment, how life might change were we to move into the eye of the hurricane; move into that place of vast stillness and calm; ... Continue Reading >>
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 >>
Deb Gleason: An Invitation to Thrive!
I share with you an email recently received from Deb Gleason as she continues to carve out new paths for her own evolution. When we choose accelerated personal evolution as a way of Being, it really never does end. Take a moment and consider Deb's invitation to discover personal resilience and resourcefulness in a world that presents increasingly rapid ... Continue Reading >>
Stress
Another powerful (and very practical) post from Stela Shakti - this one connecting stress, the body and the potential of transformation. Some practical advice at the end re moving through your day more mindfully. Enjoy the read! ... 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 ...

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 >>
Men Waking Up
Recently, I was in contact with a man who has been my pen-pal for more than ten years. We met during one of the many programs I have attended and for whatever reason, chose to stay in touch through the years. We live on different sides of the world so, although I consider him my friend, I have not seen him in person since that first meeting. In a recent ... 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 >>
Speaking/Listening: The Power of Flow
Strange... I don't seem to notice anymore where one year ends and the next, begins! For me, it is an endless flow - with fewer and fewer distinctions throughout that flow to distract me from the flow, itself, as the force of change. I noticed long ago that moments of passage - like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. - held no meaning for me, despite the value ... Continue Reading >>
I am changed
I’ve been ‘at this’ for a very long time (since I was 18 and I’m 61). You would think that, by now, I’d have a handle on it and would have become adept at the strategies of living my life in this way. Truth is, that is not true. These last three days have found me in the intensive conversations that are the platform for certification as a CODE Model ... Continue Reading >>
Awakening… to what?
Like millions of others on the planet, I often turn to Facebook and allow myself to wander around and see what’s up in the world. As one who is both mindful of the notion of being ‘awake’ or ‘awakening’ - for myself and in my engagements with others - I am always willing and able to consider that one new insight or that single compelling thought that just ...

Catching Up to MySelf
I just realized that my last posting here was July 5th. Four days later, my 86YO mother fell and broke her hip... and my life changed. Exactly one week later, my teenage step-daughter was taken to the hospital in a coma, where she remained so for 12 days. An extensive stay in intensive care led to what now, may likely be a long and slow recovery. And ... Continue Reading >>
Space, Movement and Flow: The Next Wave
I’ve known for some time, now, that breathing is good! Not because of the effects of the physical breath on my physical body, but because the very process of breathing graces me with a constant reminder of my own, uninterrupted potential for the next wave of expression. In that, my state of being is infinite; as are my intentions and outcomes, beyond any ... Continue Reading >>
Urgency vs Panic
A few days ago, I had the opportunity to spend time with some women who are new to me, in my life. I have become accustomed to spending time with people who know me well through abundant personal contact. I sometimes forget that what I intend to say and what others hear, don’t always match. Such was my discovery during this recent conversation. As we ... Continue Reading >>
Talking to Myself: Paradigm Shifts
I do that sometimes: have chats with myself, fingers to keyboard... wondering just what I have to say to myself that I've not yet noticed. Know what I mean? One of those explorations is below. Now that it's here - having bubbled up from the invisible to the visibility of these words on a screen/page - I can move on. Maybe, as you read, you will move on, ... Continue Reading >>
WEL-Systems: Discovering what it is by eliminating what it’s not!
Wow... here I sit, wondering: what will it take? What will be the 'right' combination of words, ideas, notions, experiences, outcomes, tools, frameworks... moments!... that will finally have it be clear; that will finally make it easy and effortless to understand what WEL-Systems® is! 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of this amazingly powerful, ...

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 >>
Thinking About… Chaos
Bifurcation is such an interesting experience in the body. We feel two distinct things at the same time: the chaos of the old coming apart and the great excitement/anticipation of the creation of the new. They co-exist, occupying the same space and the same time, and the sensation plays itself out in the body. Personally? My life has been at its most ... Continue Reading >>
“My people…”
November has been an incredible month for me - not just because of its intensity but because of the acceleration of my own evolution, as a result of it! November began with the first of two Engaging and Awakening Others women's intensives, offered in Halifax. A small group of women gathered, talking about their lives and the potential that awaited... if ... Continue Reading >>
My emerging future…
"Eleven different climate zones generate everything from lush rain forests to arid deserts, black sand beaches to snow-capped mountaintops. The Big Island is Hawaii’s biggest playground." I now better understand what so pulls me to the Big Island of Hawaii. In many ways, I 'feel' just like that! Over my lifetime, some have delighted in but most have been ... Continue Reading >>
Catching up to myself
It's been a busy month! I notice the date of my last post and marvel that it has been less than 30 days and yet, it feels like months have gone by. How does that happen???? Things no longer unfold in increments but in leaps and bounds. Having created the Group of 10 (a gathering of women who know, without a doubt, that each of them IS The One to make a ...

I had a dream…
.... or was it a vision? Some might say its a ‘phase shift’ or drifting between worlds. Whatever it was, it came with an insight. I was awake and yet knew myself to be dreaming. The dream unfolded in great detail in the time it took for me to draw a breath. The world was in chaos. Massive change - unlike anything we had ever known or could likely ... Continue Reading >>
Bubbling up from the turmoil
Wow... has it been that long? As much as I could tell the story of it all, the story now seems completely irrelevant. What feels so much more potent is the place where I continue to stand, not always easy or comfortable and yet knowing that it is exactly where I need to be. So many thoughts continue to come into my awareness, some with great ease - ... Continue Reading >>
Feral Consciousness
In my own, decades-old journey of personal discovery, I have long been a student of the notion of the evolution of consciousness; or the acceleration of consciousness; or those of awakened consciousness and expanded consciousness. In my own thoughts and in my conversations with others, there has been this ‘other-worldly' quality of and to consciousness... ... Continue Reading >>
My Dilemma of the Terrible Embrace
I continue to be held in the terrible embrace of my two worlds : the one I have lived and the one I know is waiting for me, to be lived. I see it played out in the inner turmoil and tension I am experiencing around the notion of decloaking; around the notion of ‘being silenced' vs ‘being silent' - one imposed from the outside, in, making me a helpless, ... Continue Reading >>
So many forks…. so many roads!
I am all over the map! Not a day goes by that I am not mindful of the degree to which my life is unscripted... without rituals and routines... a constant invitation for me to stop and wonder: how does the godforce that I AM choose to live - in this day, in this moment, in this breath? Without exception, the moment always comes with a choice to be ... Continue Reading >>
Restlessness….
I am aware of the degree to which I am restless... agitated... ready to move! I am also mindful of the speed at which change can occur (from my Manifesting 6-day of last week) and the alternative state of paralysis that is a reflection of the attempt to manifest from the intellect. Slooooowwwwwwwing down to re-enter what is considered 'normal' is creating ... Continue Reading >>
From depression/despair to delight!
I had an amazing experience, recently. A very dear friend wrote me in a state of despair. In a moment of engaging, I shared some thoughts with him - and his world changed. Imagine! Such profound shifts from such little effort! Can it really be that effortless? In a matter of days, he started a new life and is now LIVING! If that's not magic, I don't ... Continue Reading >>
The forces that shape culture
I really must stop listening to the radio when I'm in the car. Will I ever not have something to say???? Today's topic was young offenders and the impact (or lack thereof) of longer sentences. An interview with a criminologist spoke to the degree to which more and longer incarceration periods were not achieving the outcome of reducing crime rates ... Continue Reading >>
Breathing is good….
Since returning from the Emerging Futures: Entrepreneurial Women retreat, I'm noticing that I can hardly breathe! From one day to the next, I catch myself holding my breath - time and again - and wonder what that's all about! Typically, breathing comes easily and effortlessly, bringing with it a sense of the vast Space that I AM for my own evolution. But ... Continue Reading >>
