Summer of SOFTENING

A summer for

the soul.

A portion of all proceeds from this series will support the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and grassroots humanitarian efforts on the ground in Gaza.

Too often, softness is associated (whether consciously or unconsciously) with passivity and weakness, and hardness with strength and fortitude. But, it is the hard things that break. Not the soft things. 

Softness allows us to stay with the pain, brokenness and suffering (within and all around us) because it does not try to be indestructible and withstand the wind. It permits, cradles, bends, and nests around the ache. 

These offerings, which I have carefully curated for the summer, invite us to soften into love and kindness, to move in less rigid structures, and to experience the strength that we can access when we embrace our fragility.

“Your suffering needs to be respected. Don't try to ignore the hurt, because it is real. Just let the hurt soften you instead of hardening you. Let the hurt open you instead of closing you.”

3-part webinar series: Soma-Resilience, Psyche-Resistance, Soul-Restoration

Sunday from 17:00—19:00 CEST

Webinar Schedule:

It is no secret that we are weathering difficult times. 

It can feel tempting to turn our gaze away from the suffering, darkness, confusion and oppression happening all around us. And direct our attention inwards.

For many of us, empathy overload is a real thing. We can easily find ourselves feeling helpless or frustrated or stuck or overwhelmed. 

And the number one symptom of overwhelm is paralysis. 

But staying still in a dark world screaming for our light creates further internal distress and harm. 

There is a saying in therapeutic circles, which I am sure many of you have heard before — Action alleviates anxiety. 

If I were to reimagine this in a spiritual framework, I might say something like, Service and impact sooth a restless soul.

This serves as the foundation for our 3-part series, Restoring Soul in a Fractured World and I hope you’ll join me.*

The pain may come 
and the pain may go
Always fluid
Moving through 

Peace will also find her way
In moments of comfort 
Let her in
It doesn’t mean you love any less

Just remain open
All are welcome here
In the holy passageway of the heart
You are the gentle and willing usher
