The Liberation Practices: The Power in the Pause
When we are living in a world full of hurt – how do we approach the idea of liberation in such a world? If we can liberate ourselves from anger, fear or judgment, can we learn to have agency over our reactive mind and open into grace? Is it possible to embody love, truth and peace in the midst of such chaos? And how do we do this without spiritually bypassing the deeper work?
To skillfully navigate life, we must each come to a reckoning with our habitual judgements, reactions and insecurities. We must learn the yogic art of “skill in action.” Here, we train in non-reaction, which does not rob us of self-expression but demands we move skillfully as we access the wisdom within. Fueled by the power of the pause – we gain the ability to connect to something deeper. Here we embody the potent energy of authenticity, which can teach us to pull real power into any moment we are alive.

The Creative Force: Asking the Sacred to Find You
Sacredness is a living reality that is constantly at play in the universe but often, we feel far removed from this in our everyday lives. What does sacredness mean to you? How do you live a sacred life in the modern world? And how can a connection to sacredness influence your experience of the world?
If we reach toward sacredness, sacredness will, indeed, reach toward us, for the creative force is an energy that is available to us. As we learn to protect our energy and attune ourselves, we enter into the holy realm of intuitive creativity – of co-creation – asking inspiration and love to breathe themselves alive in us and into our lifework. How do you allow yourself to be an active participant in creative sacredness? What practices connect you to something wilder, greater and more vast than you? Through intention, meditation, breathwork and embodied practice, explore and expand your personal relationship with the sacred.

The Sacred Awakening: Transforming Into Who You Really Are
To skillfully navigate life, we must each refrain from demanding that others change and start inquiring, softly and deeply within. To mature spiritually, our focus must turn toward the radiance and silence inside us. We learn to shuck off the falseness of the world to connect to what is real. This realness lives in us. This sacred reality cannot disappoint you or fail you because it is you.
Here, we learn who we are from the inside out. We take the arrow of all we have struggled with in the world, and kindly turn it back toward our own heart. As we transform our suffering into learning, we realize the essential silence within and embrace the radiant power of pure being.
