Awakening

In my last post, I wrote about awareness and the beginnings of the realization that I needed to make some big changes. As my awareness increased, an awakening of sorts began to occur. There were the beginnings of general and even clear understandings of why I was disturbed, but the primary realization was that theseContinue reading “Awakening”

Awareness

I’ve been in a fairly steady process of deep change for quite a while now and can honestly say that even though this has been heavy duty and sometimes painful work, I have experienced remarkable and transformational change. I’ve reflected on and analyzed the processes that I needed to go through in order to makeContinue reading “Awareness”

What Really Matters

I know I’m not alone when I say that every day seems like the last. Covid-19 has kept me confined to my home with occasional outings to walk my dog, forays to the local market, masked and gloved, and lots of time spent in my home office attending Zoom meetings. I began complaining that itContinue reading “What Really Matters”

We Are All in This Together

Recently, I received a newsletter from Marjorie Schuman, Ph.D., with some insightful reflections on existential shock. This is what we are all experiencing right now as COVID-19 has caused everything to change, upending our world and our lives. In her newsletter, Dr. Schuman says, “I see that existential shock arises as a consequence of beingContinue reading “We Are All in This Together”

At first, I was dismissive, then annoyed, then worried, then I felt neutral followed with resignation and acceptance. I indefinitely postponed a workshop that I’ve been working on for a long time and felt relieved. I suddenly hadContinue reading “Like it or not – Change”

Making Space and Finding Joy

I went to church today and the sermon was about letting go of things and ideas that we no longer need or no longer serve us. On the back of the Order of Service I found these quotes that I’d like to share: Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. – AnaisContinue reading “Making Space and Finding Joy”

Reflections on the Event, “Experience the Labyrinth.”

Yesterday, September 21st, the Fall Equinox, 25 people came to an event I put on titled Experience the Labyrinth. The purpose of the event was twofold – first, as a community offering for my graduate Practicum class at Antioch University and, second, as one of the steps that I need to take to become aContinue reading “Reflections on the Event, “Experience the Labyrinth.””

Patterns in Nature

“But perhaps there is a pattern set up in heaven for one who desires to see it and having seen it, to find it in (oneself).” Robert Ferre’, quoting Plato. Taken from The Labyrinth Facilitator Manual, http://www.veriditas.org

My Labyrinth Experience

Twelve years ago, when I was in treatment for alcoholism, I attended a workshop on the History and Meaning of the Labyrinth. This was a half-day workshop organized by the Spiritual Advisor at the treatment center. I was very depressed at that time and being at the workshop was a requirement, so I was there,Continue reading “My Labyrinth Experience”
