The Embrace #105: Entering the Awakened World

Many years ago I had a dream that shed light on the awakening process that is taking place on this planet. Since it has been such a touchstone for me in this time of collective turbulence and fear, I’d like to share it with you.

The Embrace #104: The Power of Love

Recently I participated in a one-day mini-retreat at Wild Grace Community. We were each asked to make a little presentation.

The Embrace #96: You Are Awakening and There’s No Going Back

The apparent chaos, suffering, and confusion all across the world at present is very unsettling! Therefore, remember that everyone incarnate now is in human form by choice in order to participate in the collective awakening process… There is NO ONE who is NOT assisting in this process!
