“War is at best barbarism… Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have never fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.” June 19, 1879, William Tecumseh Sherman

What will it take for us as a planet to decide to end this barbarism?

When Self Care Matters Most

Almost everyone who knows me knows how important I think self care is. The kind of self care that truly nourishes who you are, be it a walk, meditation, reading, spending time with family, friends. And almost everyone who knows me knows how incredibly busy my life currently is, a whirlwind of activity and commitments. Inside of all of that, really great self care becomes more important than ever.

Why is it then that I’ve let self care slip to the bottom of my list?

Interconnectedness

When I am truly in touch with my connection to all living beings, there is an incredible sense of tranquility and peace that engulfs my entire body and quiets my mind. If you see me at peace, you will know that I remember you are part of me.

Could it be that I simply am not disciplined enough to always remember?

Testimonials

Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me. In some respects, it has given words to something I had always been doing, and in others it has significantly increased my ability and willingness to do this all the time.

For me this is probably the most “radical” change in my life.

[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach

Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!
Maureen Clancy | Portland, ME

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.

With each session, the conversation became easer and easier to grasp and experience. This was primarily resulting from the mounting proof that the conversation was real and true…it is the holistic nature of the conversation, as one conversation, that makes the process so satisfyingly effective.
Roy Chatterjee | Portland, ME

My entire world has changed and I see things a lot differently today than I did before I began this process…I’m a lot more grounded and am learning how my self-care allows me to take better care of myself so I can be a better leader to my team; lead by example.
