Awake & Loving This job called being human is multi-faceted and complex if we’re set on reaching our full potential. To live a life well-lived takes both awareness and compassion. I like to say these are the two most important tools in your “chest.” And yes, I do believe both live in our heart centres. […]
When Resilience Becomes Dysfunctional Resilience is one of the best qualities to cultivate. There’s an inherent adaptability, which allows us to flex in a “storm” rather than breaking. And the only sure thing is that the “storms” will come. Over time and with intention we can increase our resilience. We can even achieve a super […]
Being in relationship is one of the most demanding and meaningful of all human endeavours. Yet, we’re born to love and come together in this way. In fact for most of us engaging in intimate relationship building is non-negotiable even if we think at times, or rather wish, we could avoid it. After navigating years […]
When I trust as a way of being in the world, it doesn’t mean I’m always happy or happy with what happens to me. It means I refuse to allow my personal fears, or any collective ones I’ve picked up along the way, to taint how I see the world. Trusting as a way of […]
Cyclone Gabrielle As New Zealand mops up and mends the damage from Cyclone Gabrielle, I am struck by the sheer power of nature itself and how we as human beings are intricately connected both physically and energetically to it.

“Work” is Obsolete. Traditionally we’ve idealized hard work, self-sacrifice and restraint. Even though most of us were raised on this ethic, it’s rapidly becoming old news, and this is good news.

Even if you don’t want your 5-year-old to read this, releasing the lies you’ve lived by is life changing. For those of us who grew up with Christmas and all of its festive trappings, we can learn a lot by releasing untruths just like we did when we figured out that Santa was fabricated. A boy […]
Lose Your Head If someone snuck into your house tonight and robbed you of your prize possessions, you wouldn’t like it would you? Yet, this is exactly what you tolerate when your mind runs your life. It sneaks in and steals your peace and presence. It tells you stories about what it thinks has happened, […]
Access The Beauty I often forget I’m a human being. I forget to stop. To stop rushing away into some future moment or improved version of myself. In spending the holidays with Phoebe, my 18-month old granddaughter, she helped me return to the simplicity and the magnificence of who I am, who we all are. […]
This is one of the most liberating beliefs I’ve ever come across: We can fix what we muck up.
