The Beckoning of My Becoming

April 6, 2010

  It’s that time of year… coming up on a birthday … that has me reflecting on what the past year has brought, and what it is I want to create in the next year. It’s a “9″ year, packing an extra punch. Looking ahead not just to what I want to create in the next [...]

Welcoming Spring!

March 28, 2010

On the Front Range of the Rockies, March does it’s lion-and-lamb thing all month long.  On Wednesday, I was shoveling 8 inches of wet spring snow off the sidewalk; today it’s sunny and mild. I was inspired to take a walk along one of my favorite open space paths, the South Boulder Creek trail.  Lots [...]

International Pi Day

March 14, 2010

Several years ago, I baked  a couple non-traditional pies as my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner.  And as these things go, my non-traditional pies became a tradition among our Thanksgiving tribe.   So, in honor of International Pi Day, here is the recipe for one of those pies.     Turtle Pie (originally published by Borden) 1 [...]

Meeting Ken

March 11, 2010

I’m a bit at a loss for words and yet, how can I have had this opportunity to visit Ken Wilber in his loft and not blog about it? Brilliant.  But that hardly needs to be said.  I experienced Ken Wilber as a warm and gracious man. Eager for our questions, encouraging about our projects.  [...]

March 8, 2010

something within seeking expression I’ve been on the “integral fringe” for a few years, intrigued when I read Integral Spirituality.  I am both attracted by and resistant to an Integral Life Practice: a structure that I imagine would help me to be more effective, productive, and organized.  So it was a little surprising to me that [...]

The Last Supper

January 15, 2010

Detox Adventure: T-1 When I first read Matrix Energetics, I was intrigued by the idea of morphic fields, and how we interact with them in a way that shapes us, and we strengthen them.  In particular, I recognized that there is a strong morphic field around how we are with food, weight and body image [...]

Detox Adventure: T-2

January 14, 2010

Talking on the phone with Dharma Buddy last week prior to his return to Colorado for three and a half weeks, he suggested that we do the Lemonade Master Cleanse.  For those not familiar with this extreme fast/diet, it means consuming nothing but lemonade with cayenne pepper and maple syrup for days on end.  Supposedly very [...]

Snake Skins

December 24, 2009

A dharma buddy re-entered my life a few weeks ago, and I was swept into a vortex of intense opening, unfolding, and practicing presense.  It was as exhilarating as any other period in my life when I felt like the paradigms were shifting so fast I could hardly keep up with them.  Layers of old [...]

Rainy Days and Thursdays….

November 12, 2009

A smarter person than myself would have known better than to tempt the gods (or whatever) with that last post about shadow-work.  Batten down the hatches; the gremlins are having a field day.  I’m feeling a bit like Tippi Hedren.   Fortunately, I found this in my inbox: How to Survive a Bad Day by Christine [...]
