Emotion is powerful. It’s transformative. But all-too-often, it feels beyond our control. We observe something wanted or unwanted. We have a positive or negative interaction. The experience or interaction elicits an emotional response. Like leaves in the wind, we move along life’s path in a seemingly random emotional pattern, subject to unseen forces beyond our…
Feel into the sacredness of the space between movement and frenetic energy. In this stillness, your inspiration for new adventures are born. The stillness, as well as the movement, is sacred. Both are necessary for the beautiful unfolding of this magnificent life experience. You are drawn to movement. But stillness has played an equally formative…
Last year, my daughters and I did the Asungate trek in Peru, which took us to 17,000 ft. (5,200 meters). Laying in my tent at 15,000 feet, under a full moon, I felt more at home than I would have felt in my own bed. Motion is my art form. Movement is the thing that…
The challenges in your life are gifts, specifically chosen for you, to teach you something important that you might otherwise have missed. The nature of the challenge is not important. It may have to do with relationships, finances, career, or health. All challenges have the same underlying energetic function: to honor your soul’s agreement to…

Society values career, money, power, houses, cars, boats, luxury travel, and…

Pure joy, bliss, perfect health, ecstasy: these are the rewards for living boldly. These are the gifts received when you finally release fear and choose life.…
As counterintuitive as it sounds, your power lies in your ability to consistently, willingly and easily release control. Relax into the space between your humanity and your divinity. View body and mind from your soul’s perspective. Release attachments to the arbitrary life circumstances that form the foundation of your social validation. Achievements, beauty, athleticism, social…
You are called to sacred ceremony to commune with me. Your soul longs for this connection. Your spirit is thirsty for the life-giving water I provide. Ceremony is not the same as ritual. Ceremony is self-designed, guided by my inspiration. The components of ceremony change depending on your intention, what your soul is craving. Approach…
Ceremony has had its roots in every culture, throughout all of human history. Whether honoring birth, death, marriage, rites of passage, or the changing of the seasons, ceremony marks the passage of time and provides context to our lives.
