Dragonfly Retreats
Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation. –Alan Cohen Hello beautiful souls! I wanted to do some updates about the goings on around here, especially about the retreats. Many of you are asking about them, so this seems like the best way to do it. First, yes– all of the spots for the New Mexico retreats are full, at least for this year. We will probably do a larger, longer group retreat next year in Abiquiu, NM, with the option...

Gardening is the most therapeutic and defiant act you can do, especially in the city. Plus, you get strawberries. ~~ Ron Finley Hello all!

Without further ado, here is her beautiful post, the main site can be found here. You Are Not Broken. You Are More Ready Than You Think.

I can tell myself, “I’m frightened now because even though I know what’s true, I have forgotten it right now. I know the possibility of remembering exists.” That possibility, that conviction, gives me a lot of hope in the middle of the biggest fright. – Sylvia Boorstein Whatever may be scaring you today, we send you Big Light and hope.
