"You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell
the people that this is THE HOUR. And there are things to be considered...
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
"This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.”

“Whoever would be a teacher of men let him begin by teaching himself before teaching others; and let him teach by example before teaching by word. For he who teaches himself and rectifies his own ways is more deserving of respect and reverence than he who would teach others and rectify their ways.” ~Kahlil Gibran
I am available to teach workshops or small intimate retreats. If you are interested in having me facilitate feel free to contact me. As dates come up they will be posted here. I blend my experiences and gathered information into unique life expanding teachings, this ranges from healing work to spiritual evolution.
A personal goal is to create teachings for children to help them maintain the clarity of being that a child comes in with. There will be three separate areas to focus, just children, just parents and both parents and children together.

Journeys in Peru - January 9th to May 3rd, 2009
Peru is a land with so much ancient wisdom in the land and with the people. I spent two months here over the summer of 2007 studying with Curanderos. This journey is my ayni(reciprocity) for all that I was given on my last pilgrimage to this sacred region. Making offerings to Mamapacha(Mother Earth), the Apus(Sacred Mountains), the people and helping friends with their projects and visions is the purpose of being here on Heart Island(South America). Action from a place of heart is required to really create some change and birth something new...my anyi is my action
Passion of Life Breathwork Training - FLO Space, 260 Waterloo Ave., Guelph, Ontario
Jan. 3, 4 & 5, 2009Passion of Life Breathwork is a way to open ourselves more fully to our spirit. Breathwork releases repressed emotional issues from the cellular level, clears stress, anxiety, fear issues and blocked energies. This unique and very powerful breathwork process connects your breathflow to the Universal Source energy, which provides the new vibrant flow of energy into your system. All low vibrating "old" energy is flushed out with the "old restrictive thought patterns" and replaced with new higher vibrating energy. This new vibrant energy brings in more clarity, focus, joy, peace, love and compassion. The health benefits alone are worth the effort to expand the capacity of the lungs and increase oxygen absorption, improving energy and physical well-being.

> Divine Truths
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are all powerful beyond measure
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
We ask ourselves who am i to be brilliant gorgeous talented fabulous
Actually who are we not to be
You are a child of god
Your playing small does not serve the world
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you
We are all meant to shine as children do
It is in everyone
And as we let our own light shine
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear
Our presence automatically liberates others
~by Marianne Williamson read in a speech by Nelson Mandela.
- The only thing that you ever have control over is yourself, attempting to control a situation or any other person is giving away your energy.
- To be of selfless service the first place to start is with yourself.
- Paying attention(being aware, conscious) with an intention(putting an idea into the future, consciously moving into the next moment) in integrity(following your heart) taps us into our intuition and connects us to source. This brings us to a place of pure being

Going In
Moving inward, reaching for the secrets that lie deep
Twists and turns may dissuade you, don’t stop
At the core is the truth, the heart of the matter
The peace in oneself…the joy of living
To reach for the heavens with feet on the earth
The waves of love flood into every cell, happiness outstretched
Mysteries encountered, embraced, beheld with awe
On the pathless path there is no way…there is all ways
Potentials limitless as all is limitless, the infinite perceived
Veils lifted, the unseen becomes reality
Take a fathomless breath and dive to the essence
Let the devotion for all touch your soul
The journey never ends, enjoy each moment like it is the last
The Rose
Be as the rose
Unfurl from the darkness
Let the light touch the center of your being
Allow your beauty to emanate to all
Nothing to hide, showing the truth always
Everyday opening wider, yawning to life
The more you can let go, the deeper you go
Sunrise brings joys to core
Sunset and starlight are times to rest in oneself
Reach into roots and allow fruits to be born
Life in Five Short Chapters
CHAPTER 1
I walk down the street.
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk.
And I fall in.
I am lost. I am helpless. It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
CHAPTER 2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It takes a long time to get out.
CHAPTER 3
I walk down the same street and there is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there, and still I fall in.
It's a habit.
But my eyes are open and I know where I am.
It is my fault and I get out immediately.
CHAPTER 4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
CHAPTER 5
I walk down a different street.
By Portia Nelson
