Offerings

I’m on a journey and really don’t ever want to stop exploring. I am still discovering what is there, what parts of me have been covered up with stories and put into boxes. Some parts emerge while others are released with gratitude for what they have brought me. This means what I offer is not static. I have loved this quote from Rev. Deborah Johnson from her book Letters from the Infinite:

“When you build, you are picturing and creating an outcome that you can control, and you build what services you. When you birth, you are bringing into existence something that unfolds, something over which you have no control, and you seek to serve it.”

That is me, unfolding in ways I couldn’t imagine. “But how will people know who you are? What you are?” says one of those voices. Well maybe I can be me, the beautiful, complex and multifaceted being that I am. Maybe that is what is there. Not how I’m defined but how I can never be defined.

So hello. I’m me. Here are some things that light me up, that I would like to offer out into the world.

• Spaciousness and held space: One aspect of myself that I have embraced is the spaciousness I am able to create by slowing down, giving room for silence to speak, thoughts to gather and for deep listening to soul. This isn’t always about being silent, stillness, quiet and spaciousness are found inside regardless what is happening in the external world. So this is about having spaciousness in my being that I invite others into, that is held for each person.

• An opportunity for deep conversation: I am so excited when I have deep conversations with others, both human and more than human - I’ll write about this someday.

• Community: I light up when I am part of a community, especially one that is growing in ways we couldn’t imagine. Feeling the connection with others, our experiences are so interwoven how could we not hold wisdom for one another. This feels like magic.

• Companionship: To walk beside others as they go through their own transformation is a gift for us both.

• Witness: To hold sacred the moments I get to witness the beauty of others, in all it’s forms, and to hold this when they can’t see the beauty themselves.

• Imagination: To use my imagination knowing this is listening deeply to my soul. I want imagination and creativity to be contagious because we all need these healing balms.

• Creativity: To allow my creativity to reflect my soul, the earth, the Divine feels like home. To offer that to the world to inspire, give beauty, and impart meaning, this feels delicious, indulgent and so needed.

If any of these spark your interest then let’s connect and see what we discover together.
