Thoughts and Musings

“Fearlessness is what love seeks. Such fearlessness exists only in the complete calm that can no longer be shaken by events expected of the future… Hence the only valid tense is the present, the Now.”
Hannah Arendt

I'm not very good at taking photos when I am in the flow of hosting an event.
Last weekend an intimate group of us met for a weekend retreat in the Swan Valley in Perth to explore yoga, meditation, breath and story. The story "the Snake's Tale" provided the framework for yoga practices and other practices exploring the concept of the sacred feminine. What is the sacred feminine? Well that is what we pondered.
It was such a beautiful deep dive into thought and reflection - personal and collective. We supported and nurtured each other in ways that I believe are at the heart of the sacred feminine.
My heartfelt thanks to those who joined me. It was a rich and vibrant weekend.

Thoughts and Musings

“Generally when we think of unity, we imagine an indistinct oneness. However, one of the most important teachings of Sophia is that in uniting opposites we are not erasing their differences, but holding a third perspective that contains both.
The Canadian philosopher Jan Zwicky says wisdom is the ability to grasp wholes that occupy the same space, yet are different. Like two melodies whose intervals are identical, but sit on different scales. A harmony is struck between the two to create a third combined sound yet neither melody ceases to exist. Wisdom is generated by one’s ability to grasp both forms without abandoning either. As Hildegard wrote in Antiphon for Divine Wisdom, “One wing soars in heaven/one wing sweeps the earth/and the third flies all around us.”⁠

Thoughts and Musings

“All change is prayerful action toward a different kind of world — an act of faith toward the future and an act of heresy toward the status quo.”

Thoughts and Musings

“What we pray for, not on our knees but in our choices and the stories we tell about them, conjures up the world we yearn to live in and it is our yearning that we act upon to make the world.”
