The Chorus of Creation

Life is singing the song of healing through infinite voices. We are fortunate to live in a time of so much wisdom being so readily available. We each curate our curiosity, seek what speaks to us as a root searches out nutrients. Here are windows into some especially beautiful voices...

My Primary Teachers

Sue Choi

Thomas Hubl

Thomas Hubl

I'm blown away by Sue's work and how quickly I can regulate my nervous system and experience resourced calm employing the techniques she teaches - and that is very much only the beginning. Gloriously practical, wildly effective, gentle, natural and empowering, this is my learning edge and I'm thrilled.

Studying with Thomas is an enormous privilege, and his grounded presence, relentless acceptance, revelatory wisdom and gentle demeanor are a true gift on this planet. So appreciate his presence, his wisdom, his work and his deep encounter with the complex questions, and willingness to grow.

Philip's genius reliably guides us into the felt present while dismantling the cultural stories that have kept us separate. Insightful, wise, interesting and reverent... I love every time I engage with Philip's work.

Recognizing the divine in all. All of it. All. It's an adventure in embodied experience in the unfolding of life, aligining to life as it is happening the new coming at the cost of the old, and being available for life to move through.

Tara Brach

Judith Blackstone

The famous Insight Meditation teacher who gives outstanding Dharma talks on Wednesday nights. She's another one, every time I listen to her or engage with her work, I'm glad i did.

Judith Blackstone

The Realization Process. Embodied, Connected to the Ground that Unifies Everything. I've read several of her books and participated in several live courses and workshops. I value the work tremendously.

Michael Singer

Michael Singer

The Surrender Experiment is one of my favorite books of all time, especially because it chronicles the 40+ years after the decision to say "yes" to what is happening. I really like all of Michael Singer's work,  but The Surrender Experiment will always be my pinnacle.

Her writing is great, her curation is even better.  So glad for her voice in our culture

Martha Beck

Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert

Widely considered the original "life coach" Martha writs a real page-turner, making arduous concepts clear and often delightful. I've enjoyed every book and exercise she's offered and highly recommend.

Barbara Sher

Elizabeth Gilbert

Claire Zammit

Pay careful attention to what lights you up. I love her books, I love her humor, I love her talks, and I enjoyed her book club. I especially love that she landed on Isolation as the Dream Killer.

Claire Zammit

Claire Zammit

Claire Zammit

Claire's 7 week Essential Course for the Awakening Woman is exactly that. I was floored by how powerful it was, and I continue to use what i learned every day. I credit one of the processes in this course for reducing my mental chatter 80% over the course of 6 months or so.

The Arbinger Institute

The Arbinger Institute

The Arbinger Institute

Based on Martin Buber and the I/Thou relationship. Their books remind us to humanize every encounter. Self Deception and Leadership is the previous book, and equally excellent, as is Outward Mindset. Exceptional human development work in a business context.

Somatic Archaeology gives us the framework to meet and integrate the stories our bodies hold and a relational opportunity to be with .

Racialized Trauma is delicate territory and resourced, embodied encounter weaves healing through experience and sharing. Somatic Abolitionism contributes profoundly to individual and collective healing.

Pema Chodron

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Francis Weller

How lucky are we to have a such wisdom made so digestible and enlivening as Pema's work and talks reliably are.

Francis Weller

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

The Wild Edge of Sorrow is so sensitive and so eloquent, so inclusive and thoughtful and spacious... Embracing our deepest humanity and gentleness around grief and loss - in all the formats - 

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Grief and processes, sacredness and the invitation to experience very deep and gentle curiousity - a balm for our human experience.

David Hawkins

David Hawkins

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Power vs. Force was an enormously influential book in my life and development. Hawkins calibrates all of life on a 1000 point scale, with 25 being dispair, 200 being courage, 540 being love and expressions of pure love and truth going to 1000. But the patience of power, and the impatience of force really became enlivened for me through his work.

Ken Wilbur

David Hawkins

Bruce Francis

He's a lot, but he's great. I appreciate the work with Clare Graves and Spiral Dynamics, too - probably the most accessible to me. But Integral Theory is such an important synthesis and  expansion of so many avenues of Grow Up, Clean Up, Wake Up, Show Up, Open Up and his four quadrants - it's pivotal stuff., but it's a little heady for me, focused on discovery through the body as i am...

Bruce Francis

David Hawkins

Bruce Francis

A true lineage holder in many wise traditions, Bruce's Energy Arts Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Breathwork courses are full of rich insight and structural flow

Eric & Devi Klein

Marshall Rosenberg

Marshall Rosenberg

Kriya Yoga in the modern world. I've done several of Eric's programs and gotten rich expansion, but his 40 days on the Bhagavad Gita is absolutely breathtaking.

Marshall Rosenberg

Marshall Rosenberg

Marshall Rosenberg

In a world of judging and blame, violent communication is pervasive.  Nonviolent communication is intentional, respectful, connective and authentic. It simultaneously honors ourselves and the one we encounter.
