Expressing our passion
‘Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.’ – Martha Graham
Passion has the power to transform. Elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary. Lifting us out of the mundane and making compelling dancers of us all, irrespective of our skill with the steps.
As humans our task is […]
Welcoming the unexpected
Life is full of the unexpected from the smallest gesture to the largest events on a global scale. A smile from a stranger during our morning commute to a substantial anonymous donation that helps a community in need. Often though we miss the importance of these unexpected events and the ability they have […]
Cultivating a new field
“The control and power to construct or destroy is within you – choose wisely.” Sepideh Irvani
What are you thinking right now? Is it a thought that lifts or one that lowers? Every day our minds are a mass of thoughts…some tiny and seemingly inconsequential, others more substantial. Some are fleeting, scudding through […]
Serving our purpose
‘To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.’ Denis Waitely
Waitley’s words, for me, capture the essence of our human journey, our calling to be in service of creating a better world for all, serving the […]

An act of service
‘There is a universal, intelligent, life force that exists within everyone and everything. It resides within each of us as a deep wisdom, an inner knowing.’ Shakti Gawain
Every day we encounter signs and symbols which may be prescient messages and guidance from our higher self, or a power beyond that. In our […]
One less plastic bottle in the sea
Every day new headlines can suggest the efforts of each of us to do the right thing, to do our bit, to make a difference are somewhat, if not utterly, futile. The nature of the news itself, more often than not, is profoundly depressing. Of course bad news sells […]
Changing our world – calling on the ability to persevere
‘Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.’ Samuel Johnson
There is surely no greater work in this life than pursuing and living our soul’s purpose to make a positive difference in the world and contribute to the greater good of all by being all […]
‘If you have pendulum clocks on the wall and start them all at different times, after a while the pendulums will all swing in synchronicity. The same thing happens with heart cells in a Petri dish: They start beating in rhythm even when they’re not touching one another.’ Bruce Lipton
Some years ago on retreat my […]
Holding the line – heartfully
How do we hold the line between compassion and the desire to fix others’ suffering and the discernment and ‘tough love’ needed to encourage or prompt others to help themselves?
This is a daily challenge and balancing act wherever we look…in our own lives and individual relationships and more broadly with issues […]
