Soul Journeys

Walking right on the edge, considering freezing up, but keeping it together! Exploring the psychological and spiritual realms of darkness, strengthening the light. Breathing into the edge, rather than being overwhelmed. Enjoy the simple pleasures, allow awareness to happen without effort. Livestreamed: 4/3/26

Norman and Greg explore our challenging times; graduate school; health, aging, and facing death; building our capacity for beauty and sadness; acceptance is the name of the game; opting for the poignancy of the present moment; letting go. Livestreamed: 4/2/26

Life seems to be divided into pre and post pandemic; sweetness and nostalgia. Getting older means recognizing that, "this may be the last time I see this person." Cultivating the ability to connect and be present with others in authenticity. Some people don't want it. Holding heartbreak and intimacy. Livestreamed: 3/31/26

Freedom lies not in external circumstances, freedom resides in the heart. You can only truly discover love when you are alone. Love (according to AD) is to truly see a person or a thing as they are, not as what they mean or represent to us. We are addicted to approval, success, prestige, power; we get our needs met through these external things. Move towards direct engagement. Livestreamed: 3/27/26

Polyamory! A great concept; the more love the better, right? Very complicated in practice. I appreciate millennials are experimenting with different kinds of relationships. For most of us, love connotes a large degree of attachment, and we're not particularly skilled at consciously navigating the issues which will inevitably arise. I wish us peace along the way.

Following up on, "I love myself and my whole being." The big villain is our self-condemnation. Look at all the amazing qualities we have cultivated. Nurturing a place of connection and "okness." Tapping into our divinity. Livestreamed: 3/20/26

"You and I were trained to be dissatisfied with ourselves. This is where all evil comes from psychologically." Examining our tendency to pull from the past and push towards the future, taking us out of the present. We recreate what we expect rather than open to the moment. Be the river. Livestreamed: 3/20/26

Poking out of the chrysalis. Grateful for the nicer weather. Change is renewal; death and birth are happening at the same time. Inevitable. Do not worry about them. Death is always there for something else to emerge. And this too. Livestreamed: 3/10/26

Let's start by doing nothing! Be with ourselves and our own awareness. Get out of abstractions. Get beyond trying to understand. Get beyond trying to help others understand. Do - Be. Come back home to yourself. Be still and wake up! Livestreamed: 3/6/26

Exposing myself! Welcome to March. Admittedly, this has been a rough winter for Greg. Exploring loss and vulnerability, who wants to hear about that?... maybe a few people do. The authentic journey is messy. Being ok with being uncomfortable. Livestreamed: 3/3/26

Coming home to ourselves, to our own space. Letting go of the external stimulus, the expectations and projections. Coming back to a space of deep okness. A journey through the layers of reality - body, breath, mind, witness, bliss - and back. Livestreamed: 2/27/26

The harder you try, the worse it gets! The more you resist, the greater power you give it. There's nothing to fight, nothing to renounce. You don't want Awareness, you are it or you are not. Life is paradoxes, it has no meaning, it is found when you go beyond meaning. Aloneness = enjoying yourself. Livestreamed: 2/27/26
