Awakening the Heart
Awakening the Heart – its freedom and responsivity, its capacity to move and be moved by all that surrounds it – catalyzes a profound expansion of consciousness. As we enter into a greater realization of the Heart and harness its compassion, wisdom and responsivity within ourselves, we create a ripple effect that may move out to touch other systems in our sphere – interpersonal, community, organizational, national and global.
The world is chaotic and rife with unprecedented change and challenge, politically, environmentally, culturally, socially and personally. Life is increasingly unpredictable, and our foothold on the precipice is precarious. Maintaining one’s sense of centeredness and equilibrium can be challenging, to say the least.
When fear, anger, depression, or despair take hold, it is vital that we kindle feelings of hope, compassion, kindness and love within the Heart, and that we find the energy needed to seed our inner and outer worlds with a greater light. Practices like the meditative exercises found here or in my teachings and writings can help us access the peace and resilience that abides within us and guide us toward appropriate action to protect ourselves and those we love. As we learn to derive sustenance, support and inspiration from our inner world we develop and deepen the strength, calm, compassion and inner center that will guide us as we move forward in our lives.
Events & Workshops
I am available to facilitate retreats and workshops (one-day or 2-3 hour sessions over a number of weeks) for small and large groups. These are designed for the needs of specific institutions or organizations and/or for diverse members of the public. These gatherings facilitate an expansion of awareness through practices that encourage the awakening and deepening realization of the Heart. The goal of these gatherings is for each individual to develop a fuller capacity to listen inwardly, dissolve inner blocks, deepen their spiritual journey and engage practices that will help them build resilience and realize a greater sense of fulfillment in their lives.
