Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! We hope this message finds you well and thriving.

Please join us on Tuesday January 20 at 12 PM EST for a free 60-minute group experience designed to help you step away from the noise and reconnect with your calm, clarity, and confidence.
These monthly gatherings are a space to slow down, tune in, and grow in community. Together, we’ll explore practices that nurture mindful reflection, spark new momentum, and guide you toward living with greater ease and purpose.

Our January 20 gathering will explore the shamanic principle of ayni (eye-NEE), or sacred reciprocity. We practice Ayni when we realize that in our environment, and within our relationships and circumstances, everything is interconnected in a balanced, ongoing cycle of giving and receiving.

✨ What to Expect
🪷 Experiential practices and guided reflection
🌿 Strategies to strengthen positive habits
💫 Connection with an uplifting community
🌸 Gentle support to drop into your best self

Whether you’re seeking direction, inspiration, or a moment to breathe — this online coaching circle invites you to come as you are and leave feeling grounded, renewed, and inspired.

🗓 Date: January 20, 2026
🕰 Time: 12 PM EST
📍 Location: Online via Zoom

In the spirit of giving, we've decided to offer all future DIBS sessions free of charge. Heartfelt thanks to our first cohort who paid a nominal registration fee.

We hope to see you there, and look forward to receiving you!

Dr. Erica Warren & Scott Plate

January brings a natural reset, an invitation to realign how we give and receive. Balance is a living rhythm, not a destination.

Getting the Love You Want - a weekend workshop for couples - returns to Tucson’s Caritas Center for Healing January 23-26, 2026!

This powerful, transformative experience features world-renowned Imago principles, which offer tools that foster conscious, compassionate relational space. Hundreds of couples have arrived Friday in search of inspiration, and left Sunday with their mission accomplished - plus acquiring a new set of tools to make inspiration accessible on their own, every day.

If you’re thinking about it, do it! Dig the well before you’re thirsty. You’ll be glad you did.

Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope this note finds you well.

Dr. Erica Warren and I have decided to cancel "Drop Into Your Best Self" on Tuesday December 16 at 12 PM EST.

We recognize the holiday is approaching, that schedules tend to fill, and that the need for rest grows more and more important. In addition, Erica is recovering from recent knee surgery, and this gives her more time to recover.

In the spirit of the holiday, we have decided to offer all future "Drop Into Your Best Self" gatherings at no charge. Our sincere thanks to our first group, who did pay a nominal fee to register.

Please stay tuned for the link to attend our next session Tuesday, January 20 at 12 PM EST.

We hope to see you there!

Erica and Scott

What’s happening right now may not be what you wanted.
But it might still be what’s needed.
Stay curious.

09/29/2025

We are not enemies. We are mirrors.
Each reflects the ache of a life that wants to matter.
This is a sacred threshold.
Stand in it with integrity, not ideology.
Speak from your presence, not your position.

09/17/2025

Everyone’s afraid their pain doesn’t matter.
So we yell, blame, withdraw.
But what if the courageous move right now
is just to see one another—
without defense, without fixing,
without flinching?

09/12/2025

Truth without compassion becomes another weapon.
Blame divides. Presence connects.
An inflection point needn't be a cue to fight harder—
but to listen deeper.

09/10/2025

You are not late.
You are right on time for your life.
The invitation isn’t to rush—it’s to listen.

Getting the Love You Want. September 26-28 at the Caritas Center for Healing in Tucson’s historic Armory Park.

Early bird registration deadline is September 5. Register now and save some money, and maybe your marriage.

Check out the attached photo. It’s a summary of a recent Harvard University study about what makes a long marriage work.

It’s not s*x or even romance, although those are a plus.

It’s not ease, although it’s certainly enjoyable to experience that.

It’s resilience.

It’s the willingness to bounce back, turn toward each other, and recover emotionally. Even if it feels shaky at first.

Getting the Love You Want facilitates resilience. It changes lives, saves marriages, and restores connection. It heals division at a time when we urgently need to do so. 

September 26-28 at the Caritas Center for Healing in Tucson’s historic Armory Park. 

Register today! The early bird deadline to receive a significant discount is tomorrow, September 5.

We’d absolutely love to serve you.

When you stop resisting this moment, it reveals itself.
It’s never been your enemy.
Only your next teacher.

08/29/2025

You are not what is happening.
You are what is aware of what is happening.
This is your power:
You are not the wave. You are the ocean.
