Soul Journeys

We begin our adventure with Marianne Budde's, How We Learn To Be Brave. Looking at the cross roads in our lives; times when we decided to move forward into the unknown, leaving the familiar, the seemingly safe and predictable, behind. Campbell describes the Hero's Journey as a death and resurrection. Livestreamed: 6/20/25

Beginning with sitting, allowing us to get very still. Working on acceptance; a very powerful practice, opening us to tenderness, compassion, and sensitivity. Not shying away from reality, keep saying, "And this too." Keep getting naked! :-) Livestreamed; 6/17/25

"Death is inevitable. It is the way life should be. A beginning. A middle. And an end. It is the cycle that makes life precious and beautiful... It does not, however, make the sorrow any less for those who lose someone they love." ~Desmond Tutu "Joy is the reward of seeking to give joy to others." ~ Dalai Lama. Livestreamed: 6/13/25

Exploring loneliness. Our society is socializing less and spending more time on our screens. Distinguishing lonely from being alone. Being with others and feeling isolated. Note it, non-judgmentally, soften, lean-in, become our own best friend. Livestreamed: 6/10/25

Norman and Greg explore spirituality and compassion, death and dying, trust, ethics, boundaries, deep breathing, acceptance, relaxation, and the prevalence of probabilities within the therapeutic relationship. Livestreamed: 6/9/25

Celebration before parting; holding gratitude, joy, sadness, heartbreak and grief. Bringing together all the pillars of joy: Perspective, Humor, Humility, Acceptance, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Compassion. What am I ready to release? Livestreamed: 6/6/25

Journey of self-discovery and self-care. Rebalancing self-care and self-inquiry with the practicalities and projects in life. Being present with it all, staying over my skis. Livestreamed: 6/3/25

Live from Santa Barbara CA! Grateful! Grateful to be here, be with you, and be with myself. Plant medicine retreat, diving into self, cleansing; two hour naps, lots of Prana, connecting to earth and nature; coming home. Livestreamed: 5/27/25

Shifting from a scarcity model to an abundance model. I am enough; I have enough; hence, I am becoming love and giving it away. I am a conduit for Divine Love. Being with others as we go through the vicissitudes of life. Plant medicine spiritual journey. Livestreamed : 5/16/25

Keep grounding with our practice. Coming back home. Moving toward stillness and okness. There's nowhere we need to go. Take our foot off the gas pedal. Livestreamed: 5/13/25

Sneezing Buddha Kriya. Balancing and strengthening the second and third Chakras. Practicing the Kriya for Pelvic Balance and Beginner's Cleansing Set. Focusing on energy and sensation, where they are leading us, rather than our minds, egos, and emotions. Gong relaxation and meditation. Livestreamed: 5/11/25

Too much self centered thinking is the source of suffering. Going beyond our attachments, aversions, and delusions. Compassion goes beyond empathy to actively trying to relieve suffering. "If you want to be happy, serve other people." ~ Mahatma Gandhi. Livestreamed: 5/9/25
