The Goal

To find, via internal and external adventure, a clear path into the future and the compelling inspiration to walk that path with a whole heart.

After more than 7 years of immersing myself in a brilliant cooperative workplace, focusing on offering access to health/care/options to everyone I meet, I know that it is time for me to dive more deeply into the world. To seat myself more comfortably with learning, into the skills of healing. To reconnect with the roots of my activism and refocus the light I want to carry in the world. After more than 5 years of giving myself to a radiant relationship, opening to building home and intertwine with those closest to me, I know it is time for me to inhabit more fully my own heart. To infuse myself in sensory self and learn to trust experience, insight, intuition. To establish a balanced position between feeling/thinking/doing, and strengthen the sureness of being.

And so, I'm taking leave -- of contract and obligation, fear, habits of control, familiarity of surroundings, illusions of permanence, and the self-dampening insistence that I do not know what to do with My Life -- and for 3 months I will explore. To places I love and places I've never been, to deepen practices and begin new practices, in community and in solitude, with joyous noise and simple silence. This is the way I know to clear my eyes and discover new stories with which to live.
