I just returned from a week of sitting in silence in a beautiful lakeside home with a view of snow-capped mountains. For the first few days, my storyteller was fairly quiet. I was fully open to life, right here, right now. We are all homesick for this: actually experiencing life as it is happening (rather than… Continue Reading

Awakening in Paradise
Preparations are underway for our next Hawaii Retreat in February 16-23, 2014, at Hui Ho’olana (affectionately called ‘the Hui), a deeply healing and magical retreat center on Molokai, and as I write this, my body is alive from the joy of remembering the last retreat. I want to weave some of the newsletter I wrote… Continue Reading

You Are Not Alone
Even though you may not recognize it, there is support that is always with you. Oprah, in her farewell show, spoke directly to this. She used the word ‘God,’ but I like what Stephen Levine says, “I can use the word ‘God’ because I don’t have a clue about what that means, but there is… Continue Reading
What Would It Be Like…?
Imagine a day where everything was okay; not only okay but really okay. You may have just fallen in love; or you received something you have wanted for a long time; or you’re on vacation with no pressures, lying on a beach in deep contentment. Allow the images of your okay day to fill you… Continue Reading
The Healing Time
This is one of the poems we shared at my retreat last week-end on Bell Island in the San Juan Islands. Finally on my way to yes I bump into all the places where I said no to my life all the untended wounds the red and purple scars those hieroglyphs of pain carved into… Continue Reading
