The Art of Soulful Living

Are you feeling the depth of the pressure?  Are you feeling the magnitude of the invitation of the moment?  If you are feeling it and wondering how to walk through this with grace, this episode is for you.

These are the hardest times most of us alive today are going to face, and they are asking everything from us.  We have entered into the territory of initiation and we are not going to come out of it until we go all...

Grief.  It is a part of life.  We know of its presence, but do we know how to be with it?  How to dance with it?  How to engage with it in a life-affirming and creative way?  Living in a society that insists upon the facade of breezy "normalcy" grief is often perceived with disdain or discomfort and rushed towards resolution into a "nicer" emotional state, but that robs us of it's incredible bounty of gifts...

We live in a world of communication: as humans one of our primary modes of connection is the medium of conversation, which is a dance of giving and receiving, the receiving being based in the art of listening.  Listening is something that we don't think much about, because for the most part people assume that they do it.  I don't agree.  I think listening happens very rarely and if we were to truly listen to each oth...

In magical work, the imagination (i-magi-nation) is our central tool for envisioning the possibilities that our practices are meant to bring to life.  Not only that, but it is a realm of deep mystery and power woven into our soul, a way to talk with the creative powers of existence as a collaborator in the experience of Being.  Because of these things, I know that protecting the imagination is of the utmost importance, es...

Here we are!

We have arrived to the moment of transformation that so many of us have known was coming for so long.  The possibility of a more beautiful world for all Life is immanent, and wether that possibility takes root and flourishes rests in large part in how we show up.

Let's talk about embodying our power.  Let's talk about curiosity, humility, and clarity of intent.  Let's talk about really showing up for it ...

This is a strange world, and this is one of the strangest times that many of us have experienced so far.  In this moment it can feel hard, impossible even, to access a sense of possibility in regards to the dream that we hold for a more beautiful world for all Life and Beings.  But I believe this is a moment in which the dream can be most richly forged, and the roots of it made strong in inhospitable soil, giving it extra...

At the heart of the coronavirus pandemic shutdown of society is an initiatory possibility.  This could be a moment where everything changes for the better if we go all the way down to the bottom of our beings and harvest the wisdom awaiting our attention there.  But though a moment may have initiatory possibility written into it, initiation is not assured: wether or not we are initiated has everything to do with how we re...

Today is "Earth Day".   In this time of the pandemic, when society has finally come to a halt long enough for us to look around and take a breath, let's reflect on the world that we want to create as we move forward into the new instead of defaulting back to the status quo that is so painful, destructive, and empty in so many ways.  Let's name our true feelings and difficulties with society so that we can liberate th...

Here we are in the midst of the most powerful disruption to our collective reality that most of us have ever seen.  While the internet explodes with activity transferred out of the public arena to the digital realms, a great opportunity is waving a quiet flag, wondering if we will notice that there is an incredible opening in the field of collective reality that can be worked with on a magical level to support the flourishing ...
