Our biggest gift is to open ourselves to be impacted by each other and the world at large. To do that, we need to listen. To the quieter parts of ourselves, to the voices that come alive when we attune, the ones that speak the language of the heart, of the ancestors, of the trees and the rivers. Our biggest gift is also our biggest responsibility.
I believe in the magic that happens when my revealing of something within myself awakens something inside of you. I have seen it happen so many times. How our laughter pulls laughter and our tears pull tears out of one another. This includes the trees and the rivers - they laugh and they cry too.
I hold spaces where people can practice this kind of listening - to what is here for us to meet in each moment. And from this place of listening, to identify how we want to show up in the world.
The world is calling us upright in this moment of transitions and we each have a unique response-ability to answer that call.
