Coronavirus (Another) Wake Up call For Humanity

When I look back over my own personal story I can see clearly that every crises in my life was also an opportunity. It was a kick up the ass to alert me to the reality that I was not living in alignment with Love’s intention for me to realise my highest possible potential.  Pain and crises is always a wake up call, a flashing red light and siren to bring our attention to the fact that we need...

Warriors of the Heart

It takes courage to be a warrior.  It takes courage to raise your sword to fight for what you believe in, to fight for your self or your loved ones.  But do you know what takes even more courage?

Last night four friends gathered, as they do four times a year, and made their way through the woods as the last of the daylight faded. They arrived at the round, natural hollow in the earth amongst half a dozen yew trees and prepared their fire. The sacred space was honoured and the fire was lit. They sat in silence for a while, alone and together with their thoughts and feelings while the darkness wrapped itself around their backs.After a short while...
