Spiritual overview does very little good unless it is grounded into our daily lives. Aloof spiritual teacher can be inspiring, but sometimes we disempower ourselves by believing that we are the only ones who “don’t get it.” Consciousness is raised when we are in the company of one another… admitting that we don’t know… and even more important, admitting that, very often, we do know. We know the truth… if not in our minds then in our bodies and our hearts. It’s ok to know.

Surrounded by deep listening and profound honoring, we each find our own authority, our own voice. The laughter, the hugs, the searching, the remembering that we are already found… what a recipe for a delicious life. Somewhere between the salad and the final warm cups of tea, we find ourselves transformed into beings who matter.
