So, the Big Changes.....

I did find what I was looking for - and more - at the Soulcraft Intensive experience at Breitenbush Hot Springs, in beautiful, beautiful Oregon ( Read more... )

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

--Joseph Campbell

I'm finding that through my grounding, meditation and mind-body integration practice, especially through heart-based practices, I'm developing quite the relationship with the trees around my block. :-) It's amazing the richer view of life obtained by using the heart to perceive the world. It's a matter of subordinating the mind to the ( Read more... )

Yaaayyy, one last mark on the collective - yet mediated - consciousness known as the Internet, I got's some new books today and this particular bookstore caused me to realize: I must buy every single book Thich Nhat Hanh has written. I was tempted to buy many today. I think he might be a good mentor for me....hhmm, an excuse to go to France? ;-) ( Read more... )

Oh my god....what a stress fest everything has been. No wonder I am ready to crack, lots of depression, etc, etc. I can hardly believe I can actually come home to PEACE and QUIET.

I feel like I could fly away!! SHOCK! DISBELIEF!

I'm so excited (and a bit terrified) about this summer independent study that I'm spending heaps of time on designing it, rather than doing what I should be doing. hehe

I keep running into different books, and I'm afraid I will just obsess over Jung and Shamanism in Dialogue....there's soooo much in there, so much good stuff to apply to my praxis ( Read more... )

I love libraries....always have, for some strange reason. I think if I had my druthers, I'd live in an enormous library, instead of buying or building a house. It would truly be a Home, a place I'd love to be in, and somewhere I would very much look forward to returning to, at the end of a vacation or just at the end of a day away ( Read more... )

I've been self-flagellating a lot lately....it's a terrible thing, just TURRIBLE ( Read more... )
