Make a date with yourself! Sept. 13-18, 2012

2/9/12 – Gift of the Bhodi Tree Mother Nature stirs, rolling over in her sleep. We are now more than half-way between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. The earth begins to awaken to a year many believe to be a time of great shift in the human consciousness. However you feel about 2012, staying grounded is key to riding the waves of uncertainty and change in the world today. I recently spent time in a banyan grove learning some important lessons about grounding that I’d like to share. 10/28/11 – Skeptic turns believer I must admit that I am a born skeptic. I’m also a shy, private person and the thought of opening up in front of a large group is terrifying. So when I first received the information about Women’s Empowerment Workshop, I wasn’t sure it was right for me. 9/15/11 – Check out our TV interview

8/10/11 – A Day on a River

Last Saturday I spent all day on the Colorado River with 11 other adventurous women as part of a nature retreat at my Colorado home. What a glorious, inspiring day – full of fun, giggles, heart pumping moments, playful water fights and simple pleasures. We gathered first and set our intention for the retreat, always a good place to start. This retreat was a reunion with friends who were part of the Path of Ceremonial Arts program with me at the StarHouse in Boulder. Reconnecting was our theme, and that blossomed into rejuvenate, revitalize, rekindle, relax and many other REasons to get out into nature together.Read More...

7/28/11 – What is your nature connection?

This time of year we open every window, allowing as much of the outside world in as possible. We can feel the breezes, smell the fragrances of flower and field, hear the buzz of insects, water burbling in the creek, a cacophony of birdsong and the whir of hummingbirds passing by. Yesterday there was a deadly sound too - the soft “thunk” of a bird hitting our living room window. I ran outside and found a young hummingbird on the patio, still and stunned but alive. Scooping it up in soft silk, I gently laid it in the shade to recover, I hoped. Read More...

7/14/11 – A Tool for Transformation

Have you ever found yourself “stuck” in a story or drama that you know is keeping you from your full potential? It can be in your job, your family, your relationships, or any aspect of life. Awareness of that situation is a great start in shifting consciousness, but how do you move from awareness to transformation? During Women’s Empowerment Workshop in Vail, Sept. 15-18, I’ll be offering the Concentric Circle Model, a dynamic tool for relational transformation. Read More...
