Soul Journeys

Transcending our egoic sense of self into a deeper connection with the rising and falling of all things. We worry too much, on this plane of existence, on our relationship to people and things. Allow them to be. Livestreamed: 7/3/26

A relationship is a possession. We identify with it, and thus are scared to lose it. We hedge our authenticity to protect it. If we become true, we don't know if our relationship will be capable of holding our authenticity. For the miracle to happen, you have to start being true. Livestreamed: 7/7/26

Greg Barringer explains and demonstrates Nadi Shodhana, alternate nostril yoga breathing, to calm the nervous system, clear the mind, and balance the energies in your body. Plus a bonus, brought forth from deep within the darkness, to self sooth. :-)

Savoring the light. A lot going on, on the emotional, psychic, healing, interpersonal, and spiritual levels. Cleansing to clear the toxins and open channels. Becoming more sensitized. Honoring my father. Trauma, self-regulation, and shadow work. Livestreamed: 6/23/26

Having a field day! Wallowing in death! Being in loss. Being in grief. Being in transition. But it's all ok and beautiful. Gratitude and sadness. Change and consistency. Compassion and disappointment. Examining my own expectations. mental constructs, and loss of control, Being with the paradoxes. Creating refuge. Cultivating okness, peace, equanimity. Livestreamed: 6/16/26

Shut the program down! Do a bunch of nothing! Grateful. Our practice is about self-care. Not projection, but injection. Pulling our attention and awareness back, inward. Listening. Tuning in. Nourishing. Coming home. Surrender. Livestreamed: 5/26/26

The Invitation: "I trust myself and listen to my heart." As a child we are taught to suppress and we go on suppressing because we have disconnected from reality; our whole society hinges on belief and self-suppression. A commitment to reality and truth is a radical act. Releasing low-level misery. Livestreamed: 5/15/26

We keep going! Deep in the doo doo of final projects. It's a party all the time here in Blackrock! Our practice time, however, is about self-care, not self-improvement. We are already divine, whole, perfect... we're just watering the plants. Self love. Livestreamed: 5/12/26

Yay! We made it to May! Get outside and savor the gift! Reflections on graduate school as I finish up the semester. Taking care of ourselves in the midst of everything. Be the light. Mark Nepo reading. Livestreamed: 5/5/26

Meandering through spring, as things continue to evolve; loss and renewal; being the observer. Exploring the life of Henry David Thoreau, America's first great yogi: living life intentionally, close to nature, will deliver us to awareness and intimacy. Livestreamed: 4/28/26

Riding the knife's edge to engage with reality. Being mindful of life's vicissitudes. Tempering the temptation to "push through." Tune into the flow of reality, like a steam going to the river. The dance is always changing. Livestreamed 4/21/26

Recentering. When something throws us off balance, how do we bring ourselves back to center. Noticing the downward spiral towards self-deprecation. Practicing compassionate self-discipline. Thoughts about this world of on-line learning, AI, and where it might be taking us. Livestreamed: 4/14/26
