Our Walk in the World

Our inner life is not a refuge in which to hide from experience, but a practice ground from which to gather strength and clarity as we enter the world. In moments of thriving, we repair each other and illuminate the world.

Standing On and Standing For

We need to ask two perennial questions: What am I standing on? And What am I standing for? The answers lead us to what we value in the world and give us direction to stay true to this calling.

What to Bring Forward

It takes courage to tap into what is innately ours and to bring forth in the world. We can then choose authentically to bring forward what is true for us as we meet the moments with a joyful participation.

Student Self and Teacher Self

Namaste’ means “I bow to the piece of God, the piece of the Universe, that resides in you.” When we attend to the piece of God we carry within, we attend to the work and the work goes on by itself.

The Fire of Aliveness

The light of the soul must keep burning. As we accept the friction of the world we live between the fire of aliveness and the fires of circumstance.
