Soul Journeys

"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.

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."

A lovely summer day... Taking care of ourselves so that we may move through the vicissitudes of life with grace and equanimity. Getting free of our desired outcomes, allowing things to go their way. Way leads onto way. Livestreamed: 7/22/25

In this segment we explore accepting challenges and endeavors which we do not choose; caring for an ill or dying loved one; taking on a calling. Exploring the redemptive purpose in suffering. Acknowledging our brokenness. " If I don't help, what will happen to them." Livestreamed 7/18/25

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. ~Lau Tzu

Analyzing Good Will Hunting. Seeing myself, an extremely cathartic experience! A great movie is like a dream, every character is yourself. Our family is the system into which we become, Matt and Ben's Mozart moment. Livestreamed: 7/1/25

Listening to our internal wisdom. Reassuring ourselves, the world is not going anywhere, in effect, we are not going anywhere. In order to build, create, or repair we must stay in place long enough to do the work. Give ourselves to something, which like ourselves, is fleeting. Livestreamed: 6/27/25

Enjoying the heat! With caution; shifting energy, relaxing, slowing down, becoming more contemplative. Stay hydrated, acclimate, notice how your body feels. Don't over do it, there is no need! Livestreamed: 6/24/25

We begin our adventure with Marianne Budde's, How We Learn To Be Brave.

Campbell describes the Hero's Journey as a death and resurrection. Livestreamed: 6/20/25
