It occurs to me that it is all quite simple: life is a place where we hang out and experiment with creating our masterpiece. We choose the subject of our painting, add the color of our emotions, decide how much passion will compel the brush and either surrender to the flow of inspiration or to the critic in our head who worries over each stroke! It takes a good deal of effort for many of us to break out of our addiction to believing that voice in our head. We think that it defines us. Who we are. What we believe. What possibilities we can explore…
The Four Agreements, Life Mastery and all the beautiful mirrors of my mentors, friends, family, students and the natural world have blessed me with an amazing journey I started in earnest eight years ago as I learned not to believe myself! It has been a ride that has changed everything, meaning how I experience my emotions, my mind, my body and even my breathing! There were lovely adventures prior to this one, but this is the one that has given me access to a deep sense of home in my heart and a presence in my daily life that is alive with awareness and connection.
I live and practice in Charlottesville in the heart of the Blue Ridge in Central Virginia. It is a beautiful, mountainous, lush landscape that inspires me and is now the home of Dream of the Heart. Along with my beloved dreaming sisters, Rose and Ana, I have supported a community of courageous hearts who are learning to redream themselves. We have weekly wisdom groups and monthly dreaming weekends that are unending opportunities to explore, experiment, inspire each other and trust in the perfection of everything. There is an energy of communion and creation that multiplies exponentially as we gather with common purpose. We are committed as well to mentoring the many young people ready to embrace their authenticity through work in the charter middle and high schools and beyond. I am particularly in love with exploring the possibilities of connection between humans and horses. My horse, Sunny, has taught me volumes. He is always perfectly clear about how I “feel” to him and about whether my mind is getting in the way. He and other horses have been assisting people of all ages to question their assumptions and try new approaches through our equine assisted programs at Galleywinter Farm.
