With the turmoil in the world, many of us long for a sanctuary that honors our deepest, most authentic self.
Truth Village: Embody Your Freedom is an invitation to find our place in, and be celebrated by a community that helps us discover, abide in and live from our inner peace, love and freedom.
In this Women’s Circle, we will support each other to be with whatever we find, or whatever may be in the way, including our anger, grief or self-doubt.
Grounded in the wisdom of our truth and the earth herself, we can be supported in offering our gifts to the world at this crucial time.
We’ll use meditative embodiment practices and explore themes through a lens of original animal energies. We will look to the owl, wolf and hummingbird for inspiration. We’ll work with:
Seeing Clearly (Owl): Seeing yourself and others
Getting in Touch with Power (Wolf): The archetypes of the lone wolf, as well as the loyal family pack animal; dealing with powerlessness
Finding more Joy (Hummingbird): Sometimes what we fear most is feeling joy
We’ll meditate, move a bit and get grounded before I present a topic.
Then we’ll pass the talking stick, speak from the heart and listen from the heart. Commit to six sessions as we build community, meditate, move, and inquire within.

The Dakini Speaks
My friends, let’s grow up.
Let’s stop pretending we don’t know the deal here.
Or if we truly haven’t noticed, let’s wake up and notice.
Look: Everything that can be lost, will be lost.
It’s simple — how could we have missed it for so long?
Let’s grieve our losses fully, like ripe human beings,
But please, let’s not be so shocked by them.
Let’s not act so betrayed,
As though life had broken her secret promise to us.
Impermanence is life’s only promise to us,
And she keeps it with ruthless impeccability.
To a child she seems cruel, but she is only wild,
And her compassion exquisitely precise:
Brilliantly penetrating, luminous with truth,
She strips away the unreal to show us the real.
This is the true ride — let’s give ourselves to it!
Let’s stop making deals for a safe passage:
There isn’t one anyway, and the cost is too high.
We are not children anymore.
The true human adult gives everything for what cannot be lost.
Let’s dance the wild dance of no hope!
