Soul Journeys

Nothing has fully prepared me for the passing of my father. A whole new level of awareness and love... There is not a single evil in the world that you cannot trace back to fear. True non-violence is fearlessness. When you experience anger, look for the fear behind it. Ultimately there are only two things, fear and love. Die to the self. Livestreamed: 10/31/25

I'm doing ok, in the grieving process. An interesting world to be in, the dying process verses post-partum; more challenging than I expected. Turns out death brings up stuff for people. A journey which is going to take some time. Livestreamed: 10/28/25

In the grieving process. Going from feeling ok to shaky, vulnerable, untethered, grateful, exhausted. Getting back up to speed with the rest of my life, feeling neither here nor there. I am more present than prepared. Exploring happiness, chanting, and what we pray for. Livestreamed 10/24/25

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

My happiness does not lie in you. Enjoy and appreciate loving on a non-clinging basis. When you're with someone who is dying you are with the truth. You are as close to reality as you can get. Dear friend please know, as you pass by, as you are now, so once was I, as I am now so you will be, so prepare yourself to follow me. Livestreamed: 10/10/25

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
