It can be easy to lose hope and feel despairing in the face of what we are currently facing in the world. 

We are in the midst of our collective dark night of the soul, which is a necessary (and painful) catalyst for our collective transformation and growth. 

In this episode, I delve into what is keeping hope alive in my heart during these times. 

I share my firsthand experiences of seeing the gifts in disaster and how they help to open our hearts and awaken us to our shared humanity. 

Disasters of all natures (including man-made created ones like genocide) serve as a means for us to strengthen our collective power, which destablises the systems and structures that have oppressed our power until now. 

Tune in and cultivate your hope, harness faith in a divine higher power, and trust in the power of love as the strongest force known to us.

New Meditation! 

Finding hope in challenging times 

Shift from pain and despair to greater hope and strength in only 12 minutes! 

This guided meditation has been specifically created to help you meet these times we are facing.

It will help you discover the transformative power of hope, and help you feel less alone as we unite in solidarity against genocide, oppression and the power structures robbing us all of living in true freedom and peace.
