The Golden Gate of Retreat

By |2024-01-30T21:56:21-06:00January 13th, 2024|Antiracism, Community, Featured, Self Reflection|

One of the most challenging things in life is to stay engaged in a conversation when there are clearly very different ideologies at play. It doesn’t take long for someone to feel defensive or think they are being attacked. Especially when it comes to issues of dismantling racism, LGBTQ+ rights, spirituality, capitalism, God, patriarchy, and [...]

Happy New Year You Goofballs

By |2024-01-07T18:54:35-06:00January 1st, 2024|Beginnings, Playtime, Self Reflection, Transformation|

Another new year. So how are you feeling? Yay or nay? Another new year and I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry. Although, as Dolly Parton says so eloquently in the movie “Steel Magnolias” after Shelby’s funeral, “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.” I think that sums up my strategy this past year. [...]

Anger Is Not a Defect

By |2023-09-30T21:19:27-05:00September 30th, 2023|Anger, Consciousness, Faith, Healing|

I don’t often hear people use the word “outraged” let alone “rage.” I will hear words like anger, frustrated, mad, irritated - but not rage. I think we have an allergy to it because it makes the body and mind feel out of control, at least it does for me. Often being outraged assumes [...]

Discipline, Obedience, Accountability – OH MY!

By |2023-09-30T21:19:52-05:00August 17th, 2023|Community, Evolution, Gratefulness, Love, Self Reflection|

There are a few words I have had “allergies" to over the years. Words like discipline, obedience, and accountability. Some have a more intense allergic reaction than others, such as difficulty breathing, maybe getting itchy or nauseous. Of course I jest, yet they are words that have produced some measure of tension in [...]

The Pathway of Liberation and Love

By |2023-05-01T17:49:52-05:00May 1st, 2023|Antiracism, Featured, Love|

It is little wonder that many, to whom the first practical lessons in the gospel of the Christ came as liberation and power, should in time of failure and heartache have turned back to the old limited belief of the Fatherhood of God. Emilie Cady, Lessons In Truth, p 130 If you’ve ever been [...]

1911 Metaphysical Christmas

By |2022-12-24T22:05:48-06:00December 24th, 2022|Christianity, Religion|

The following is an excerpt from a Christmas lesson by Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity. My transcription shares some of his ideas from over a century ago. Small edits were made for grammar, spelling and continuity of Fillmore's thoughts in sentence structures. Some of his musings may be seem tough to follow - chalk it [...]

Advent Week 4: Acknowledge the Waiting

By |2022-12-22T14:11:37-06:00December 22nd, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

And now we wait, not for the birthing of the Gospel in each of us, yet communally as well. As the year comes to an end, we notice many of us are hurting, exhausted, feeling alone - not everyone for sure, but more than we may realize. Advent reminds us there is room for our [...]

Advent Week 3: Being Silent

By |2022-12-22T15:21:56-06:00December 10th, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

In the season of Advent silence can be a lot to ask of a person. And yet silence is the sound of Advent. Mary carried a child in the silence of the womb for nine months. It is where we hold space for what we long for – new life, collective healing, yet also the [...]

Advent Week 2: Embodying the Communal Womb

By |2022-12-22T14:12:53-06:00December 3rd, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

Advent begins as a solemn time. It’s the story of a woman who is the archetype of power and hope within her body. Our invitation this year is to encounter and embrace this solemnness, much like the story of Mary, as an embodied practice. Embodied spirituality is reintegrating our emotional and interior lives with the [...]

Advent Week 1: In the Dark While We Wait

By |2022-12-22T14:12:13-06:00November 27th, 2022|Christmas, Featured, Shadow Work|

Advent holds such a sacred space - the story and formation of the womb is tucked into our souls. Advent is most often thought of as an individual journey, even though we may celebrate together. We can think about it all year around, but probably don’t. This year, the invitation is something different, holding it [...]
