Giving Voice
During the time when I was writing the first Giving Voice blog I had a dream. In this dream I see a vibrant, healing green stream that runs through women from head to toe. I am told that women need to find and recognize it in themselves, so that it can flow out into life. For the green expresses what I understand as a woman's sacred relationship to life and to the divine. This blog is about how we live this in our lives and our work in community.
I loved seeing the blog post and reading the replies. Your messages are so essential for us and especially right now. They help dispel our feelings of being so terribly alone and afraid and help us to summon the courage to continue with our own unique ways of serving life." D.T.
Through the Backdoor
March 23, 2022
A few weeks before the invasion of Ukraine I had an experience in meditation. Towards the end of the half hour, an unexpected image arose. It was of a young child sitting next to an old woman. The child holds a yellow ball of yarn in its lap, and the old woman is knitting from
A Steady Heartbeat
September 14, 2021
In a dream, I am looking at a river. The sound of the river increases until it surrounds me with the intensity of the water flowing by. And then, I hear a heart beating. It is the heartbeat of the river. The river has allowed me to hear its heartbeat. Steady, ongoing, it continues. In
The Power of Silence
May 23, 2021
Many years ago I had a dream. This dream showed the Earth from a great distance, a luminous, blue jewel against the darkness of space. I saw areas on the earth that were red and inflamed. And then the light of a full moon appeared and soft rays touched down upon these wounded regions on
A still place within
March 11, 2021
I had a dream a year ago showing me the language of life. I was told: Speak about it, this language of life. How to hear it, how to decipher its meaning. The dream waited patiently, in the back of my awareness, waiting until I could trust, and engage with this deep inner knowing that
I Remember…
November 16, 2020
I live in a modern sub-division at the edge of a small town. A ten-minute walk takes me to a field surrounded by oak trees, blackberries, oat grass. Neighbors see foxes at dusk, a bobcat, and occasionally a mountain lion. In the heat of one afternoon, the day before our first Zoom gathering, I had
This Smaller Linking Up
August 15, 2020
In this time of flux and change, there are stories that touch us. Stories that speak of a deeper stream inside life, helping us to notice, to remember, or to realign. I recently heard of a young American woman who lives on the ground floor of an apartment building in the East Village. Her next
The Power of Feminine Healing
June 16, 2020
At this time when we may feel uncertainty and anxiety about the future, our own lives, and those we love, can we challenge ourselves to step into a place where we know our truth? Where we know our kindness, or joy, and try to live that regardless of what we are faced with? I have
When Women’s Hearts are Open…
December 4, 2019
Over the years I have had many dreams of the work of the feminine, dreams like seeds that carried an energy, a potential. I found the dreams couldn’t remain separate from my life; I had to learn how to live them. This energy pushed on my shoulders, so to speak, insistent that I listen, and
Bringing Down Heaven
November 14, 2019
When I first began to work in circles with women, an image arose when I was deep in meditation. The image was of many circles across the country, each circle held in a feminine container that linked heaven and earth. I reflected on this for many years. What did it mean, to connect heaven and
