New Post – Naomi Irons: Inner Wild
"Not surprisingly, after week 3 (activating the power center) of our Living Fully Through Conscious Choice experience, I woke this morning to an inner roar. That Elemental part of myself became a visceral surge from the depths of my Being rising to the surface, transforming all that was in its path in the most life giving way. It became immediately clear to ... Continue Reading >>
Being ‘done’
No amount of understanding or explaining will ever give you permission to be fully alive. Your body knows - long before your intellect - when you’re ‘done’. Life explodes with potential the moment you simply trust your body to lead. ... Continue Reading >>
Women and the Future of the World
