    By allowing our essence of peace and compassion to illuminate our felt experience, we can flourish. This process is unique to each person.

    Focusing for me is an alchemical threshold, the exquisite process of a felt sense receiving the safety and unconditional acceptance of true Presence so that what is ripe unfolds/live forwards into wholeness. It changed my life over 30 years ago and has guided me ever since. I'm so grateful <3
