Soul Journeys

Reflections on dying and love. When you're with someone who is dying you're with the truth. You're as close to reaity as you can get. And we're all dying. Can we transend clinging and just be with reality, and love? My happiness does not lie in you. Enjoying, appreciating, loving on a non-clinging basis. Livestreamed: 10/17/25

We cannot imagine being happy without conditions. Psychology is primarily about relief from suffering. Spirituality is about freedom from suffering. Do people have to suffer, get sick and tired enough, before they will seriously consider waking up and getting free? There is another way: Stop, Listen, and Unlearn. Livestreamed: 9/12/25

The first Tuesday after the last full moon of the summer. Feeling the cusp of fall; bringing up lots of transition feelings: trepidation, grief, and beauty, side-by-side. Be with the changes, allow truth to come to the surface, engage reality with equanimity and grace. Livestreamed: 9/9/25

Embarking on our journey into Awareness. The first step to waking up is to admit that we don't want to, that we don't like it. We conjure up in our heads most of what we feel and think. People don't really want to grow up, or change, or be happy, so don't try to make them happy! Livestreamed: 9/5/25

Finding our way to our next exploration. Being ok with feeling lost and uncertain. Deciding between The Chakras, Silence, and Awareness. We choose Anthony de Mello's, Awareness, exploring our spirituality through the lenses of a Jesuit priest, drawing on wisdom from Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and psychological insight.

Entering the last 4 weeks of summer, the ebb of the season, transitioning to fall. Notice. Be grateful. Savor. This is the "dessert" of the year. Be with the reality of our ever changing transitory nature. Be here now. Livestreamed: 8/26/25

Not feeling badly about the pain of disappointment. Failure helps us to define ourselves and discover what is truly important and valuable. Going beyond safe and comfortable. Our lives get bigger when we lean in. Show up for thigs that are not easy. Livestreamed: 8/22/25

Live from Great Island! Savoring the end of summer, taking care of the self. Waking up the body before the mind. Exploring, what is our life asking of us? Livestreamed: 8/19/25

"Perseverance is the hidden virtue of every courageous life." Excellence requires failure; over and over again! Health and maturity requires continual work of self-definition and self-regulation; in our family of origin, immediate family, and organizations. Our only real leverage is ourselves. To evolve the systems in which we reside, we must evolve ourselves. Livestreamed: 8/15/25

Savoring the sweetness of the season; beauty and sadness, life in a nutshell. Reality vs. Inspiration, examining the inevitable let downs. Most people are not ready for peace, light and love. Cultivate our consolation in our awareness of our divinity. Move into harmony with the seasons of nature and our lives. Livestreamed: 8/8/25

Appreciating the second half of summer. Self care; taking care of our body, heart, mind, and spirit. Preparing to engage mindfully, from the heart, as we navigate the vicissitudes of life. Livestreamed: 8/5/25

Listening to the guiding light within. There are always good excuses not to step up, not to step in, not to challenge ourselves. Our growth depends on our willingness to step into the moments and opportunities that challenge us. "The measure of our character comes in times of challenge, not in times of convenience."
