Spring spiritual intensive planning
Boiling down years of work of trying this and this into a weekend of useful effective tools and techniques requires a lot of thinking.

Does checking Facebook count as Daily Practice?
Sure it does. It may however not count as Daily Spiritual Practice (DSP). Perhaps it depends on who shows up on your newsfeed there. I have some pretty decent friends who post some wondrously deep articles, graphics and posts. Farming them out of the humongous heap of political angst and LOLcats can be a bit […]
I was going to title this “The Shadow Work Begins” But this year the Shadows have come early
Be Silent. To be silent. Ssshhhhh ….. I had written in a previous blog post (the sticky feet one) about this year’s shadow Work in the dark part of the year. This is what I wrote: "As the Wheel begins to turn to the dark part of the year I have tasked myself with 1) […]
