Ripples of Effect “How wonderful that no one need wait a single moment to improve the world.” – Anne Frank A question that I often ask myself is, “how can I make the biggest difference in the world?” The magnitude of change required now to steer humanity back onto the path of natural balance is calling forth each of our individual gifts. Indeed, the steps required to repair our home […]
Unlocking Collective Creativity I sometimes dream of a world where thoughts are not actually contained within our heads. Instead, they exist in the multi-dimensional pool around us and are picked up by our brains as we swim through our day. Some thoughts remain with us for a period of time because we hang onto them, others come and go so fast we are not consciously aware of them. In […]
Emerging Earth There is a shift occurring in my home city that I believe is reflecting a larger shift occurring on the whole planet. Each day brings forth more signs that a growing number of people are seeking change. This past week alone I have received invitations to, or heard of, a half dozen meetings taking place to discuss the immense task of changing many of the structures that […]
The Lunar Chakra Cleanse A few of my roommates and I have decided to create and follow a 28 day food challenge which will sync us up to the lunar cycle and integrate the seven chakras. The whole arc begins this Friday, January 11th during the new moon phase and ends 28 days later during the next new moon. This full harmonic cycle is divided into seven smaller cycles of four days […]
Emerging From Stillness “Throughout time there have been intersecting moments when the cycles of the great cosmic clocks line up in such a way that we are not only given a glimpse of all that is possible, but we actually have the opportunity to step beyond all that we have ever known as truth, and participate in a grander truth within a higher level of consciousness” — Opening Dialogue from […]
Ten Teachings From My Dad I often sense the impression that a quest for inner truth and personal growth is taken to reflect mistakes made during youth. I want to make it clear that this is in no way the case and that I harbor no resentment or hard feelings when I look back on my childhood. In fact, I have nothing but fond memories of that time of my […]
Follow Your Heart This piece I have written could be somewhat considered a goodbye letter. I am leaving tomorrow until December 14th to follow the path I am being called along at this present time in my life. Until today, I have only told one person I am going on this trip. I’m not entirely sure why I chose to keep this to myself, perhaps it was partly out […]
***** The Paradox of Our Age We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more information to […]
Spontaneous Gifting More for you is more for me. This is one of the fundamental principles of a gifting economy. It embodies the recognition of our interconnection and oneness with all other beings. If I have more than I need, I am happy to give to you in your time of need, trusting that the abundance of this world will return to me when I am in need. Letting go […]
Tribal Convergence To my coastal tribe; Thank you. As I write these words – these symbols with multiple meanings – I sit in my heart and breathe into my feeling of connection, with the intention of that feeling resonating within you. I invite you, as you read these words, to also sit in your heart and to feel the space between the letters. It is essential now that we all […]
