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...
Read MoreA Declaration of Self Care
Hello all! This is a wonderful post originally from Mara Glatzel. I love this, I preach this, I believe this and I wanted to pass it along. Allow yourself to work with yourself today, and be gentle with you. We are all we have, sweet friends, and we are enough. You are enough. There is enough today…enough time, enough money, enough love, enough breath. So for just a second, relax your shoulders. Take a deep breath and allow that Calm Voice to whisper encouragement in your ears. There is only now, so deepen into the moment and allow yourself to Be Here Now. You are worth...
Read MoreI’m Actually Not That Busy, Either
Hello all! I saw this post and wanted to share it. I’m coming off a several day silent retreat and this was a perfect reminder as I do re-entry. This is a a total cut and paste, I have added nothing to it. The original post from SuperHero Life, by Andrea Scher, can be found here. Enjoy 🙂 This is my new mantra: I’m actually not that busy. It doesn’t sound spiritual or like something you heard at your yoga class. It might not even feel true the first few times you say it! But it’s changing my life. My aha moment came when I saw this graphic...
Read MoreYou are not broken. You are more ready than you think.
Hello all. This is a straight cut/paste from Mara Glatzel’s blog, and we thank her profusely for posting it. So, if you had the world’s undivided attention for 10 seconds, what would you say? 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. On Thursday, I came across a prompt from Erika Lyremark from The Daily Whip that said: If you had the world’s undivided attention for 10 seconds, what would you say? My fingers started to itch and I clung to a voice that begged: your truth. 10 seconds....
Read MoreQuote o the Day
Fear doesn’t frighten me as much as it used to. I know it’s from clinging and I know it will pass. 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. Hang in there, you are smarter and more capable than you may think, and no doubt you are doing a better job than you think you are. Be kind and gentle...
Read MoreWorld Hunger Day Fast for Charity
Hello all! I know it’s been awhile! Things are good here and I’ve been out living life instead of blogging about it. More to come on a recent trip and much more. In the meantime, I wanted to update you on some things that are coming in October. This time of year is traditionally about honoring the cycle of the seasons, pausing to reflect on our abundance and blessings, and preparing for winter. To call attention to the ways in which many people on the planet are unable to take part in the abundance of harvest, UN World Hunger Day is held every October. Also called World...
