A question for you. What if passion didn't fade—it evolved?

Imagine showing up to intimacy with genuine curiosity and full presence. Discovering the dance between divine masculine and divine feminine energy. Co-creating desire that constantly renews itself.

This is how relationships stay alive. Connection becomes the glue—never ending, never growing stale.

But here's what gets in the way:

Life. Mortgages, kids, extended family, jobs, health concerns. Plus the billions of bits of information bombarding our nervous systems every single day. Even the most passionate couples can find themselves going through the motions.

And here's what most people don't realize: your body changes constantly.

Maybe your needs have shifted since you first got together (this can happen at any stage—not just 30 years in). Maybe you've discovered how deeply you need to be truly seen by the person you love. Maybe the blueprint you created early on no longer fits who you've become.

The good news? Your partner's "map of desire" isn't static either.

Nerve pathways and blood flow change year to year. Science can now map these shifts with expensive scanners—but you don't need technology to discover what's changed.

You just need the right tools.

In this workshop, you'll learn a type of discernment that will never fail you. You'll discover:

* How to witness each other's evolution
* How to communicate desires you didn't even know you had
* How to uncover secrets and notice changes you might have missed
* How to literally change the frequency of love between you

Because we all want the same thing: to be fully experienced by our partner. To be seen and accepted as we release control and surrender to pleasure.

Not measured on some mysterious "acceptability" scale. Not tolerated or transactional.

Witnessed. Cherished. Celebrated.

This is where the magic lives.

Our Valentine's Couples Workshop gives you ancient tools to create this kind of presence—and opens entirely new realms to explore together through gentle practices, guided exercises, and real connection.

Will a Date Night fix it?

Most relationship counselors and women's magazines will tell you: have a "date night" if things feel stagnant. Get out without the kids. Don't talk about work, family, tedious daily life.

And sure, that can't hurt.

But let's be honest—it often doesn't help either.

Ta**ra doesn't date. It elevates.

If you want to reignite an established relationship, deepen a new one, or discover entirely new ways of relating, you need something more than dinner and conversation.

You need consciousness. Let's create it!

What is your body whispering?

We live in a culture that pulls us away from our bodies and into our heads. Guilt, shame, and judgment drown out the whispers of our physical selves.

We're told to "think bigger," chase more success, accumulate status and material goods, and mold ourselves into someone else's idea of who we should be.

All of this noise obscures what matters most: the sensations in your body that are trying to guide you home.

This is where Soul Awareness Healing begins.

When we're drawn down into the Energy Field, something shifts. We can finally feel our body. Notice where it's out of sync, scarred, wounded, or afraid. Discover where fear, anxiety, and shame have taken up residence.

And here's the truth: you can't heal what you can't feel.

Awareness comes first. Then healing becomes possible.

Your body isn't the problem—it's been holding the answers all along. It's time to listen.

Healing and feeling whole, can be so simple, but, oh, how we complicate it. Here’s an excerpt from a poem by Mary Oliver, genius observer of life and humans:

what the soul is, also, I believe I will never quite know.
Though I play at the edges of knowing, truly, I know
our part is not knowing, but looking
and touching
and loving

It takes courage to heal.

Ultimately, it’s a commitment to release that pain and damage inflicted on the body and soul, and to clear the toxicity created by how that pain has been managed. If we had been capable of processing that terrible pain when it occurred, the toxicity wouldn’t

It takes courage to heal—and you have that courage.

Healing is a commitment to yourself. It's choosing to release the pain and damage carried in your body and soul, and to clear the patterns you created to survive it.

If we could have processed that pain when it first happened, we would have. But we weren't ready then. And that's okay.

The blocks, wounds, and scars we carry aren't failures—they're protection we no longer need. Now, we get to let them go and rediscover the joy of our Soul.

Your healing journey unfolds at exactly the right pace.

There's no flash of light that makes everything instantly complete. Healing takes the time it takes—and it happens at the pace you can safely integrate. This isn't a race. It's a homecoming.

And the best part? You're becoming free.

What if "living large" is actually keeping you small?

For 25 years, I’ve coached corporate professionals to GET MOTIVATED, LIVE LARGE, and ACCOMPLISH all the things. The promotions. The titles. The rewards.

But here's what I've witnessed over the past decade: there's a moment when high-achievers quietly step off the "Motivation" train and start building something entirely different.

They start creating intentional, perfectly-sized lives.

Not because they failed. Not because they gave up.

Because maximizing corporate profits left them stressed, empty, and burned out—and the financial rewards never delivered the fulfillment they promised.

I've seen people land the grand promotion, buy the Porsche, secure the tropical vacation home... and feel absolutely hollow inside.

So they make a radical choice: to rightsize their lives.

This isn't downsizing for the sake of downsizing. It's building a life centered on:
- Personal values
- Body awareness
- Pleasure
- Deep connection to Soul

It's empowerment on a whole new level. And it's uniquely, authentically YOURS.

Ready to discover what your rightsized life looks like?

Let's explore it together through Soul Awareness Healing or Coaching.

Your Soul knows the way. Let's listen.

Embodiment.

You've heard the term. In essence, it asks, "What if you stopped thinking your way through life and started feeling it?"

Embodiment isn't a concept to understand—it's an experience to surrender into.

It's dropping out of your mind and into your body as a source of truth, healing, and pleasure. It's the fullest expression of your Soul moving through you without the "squeaks" of overthinking or the "brakes" of old triggers stopping you.

Feel instead of think.

Be instead of do.

Let your body guide you with full expanded consciousness.

When you live fully embodied, you discover trust. Divine timing. Deep pleasure. Unshakable peace.

Feel truly alive in your body!

What comes to mind when you hear "Reclaiming Divine Feminine Energy"?

Do you picture today's "trad wives"—perfectly coiffed with form-fitting dresses, heavy makeup, and an agenda centered on pleasing men in power?

If so, you're not alone. And that's exactly the problem.

The modern "trad wife" movement couldn't be more disconnected from the Divine Feminine—or more entangled in toxic femininity. It's performance, not authenticity. Conformity, not connection.

What if the Divine Feminine is actually radical?

I recently posed this question to a group of Ta**ra teachers, and the conversation that followed was electric. What if reclaiming the Divine Feminine isn't about softening ourselves to fit an external ideal, but about rising up? What if it's about women yearning for deep connection, true nourishment, and the fierce courage to chart their own path in life and spirituality?

This isn't a new idea—it's ancient wisdom reclaimed.

One of the Ta**ra lineages I've studied is called neo-Ta**ra, or feminist-informed Ta**ra. Its visionary leader is Margot Anand, an 81-year-old feminist icon recognized as a leading authority on Ta**ra after guiding students in the practice for over 50 years. She has spent her entire life embodying her Divine Self—unapologetically, unabashedly, and on her own terms.

We won't call her a "kick-ass woman" (though she is). That popular phrase, while well-intentioned, doesn't honor the depth and nuance of what it means to live fully aligned with your Divine Feminine. You deserve language that respects the sacred nature of this journey.

You deserve to connect to YOUR Divine Feminine—on your terms, in your own language.

That's exactly what we'll explore together in our Reclaiming Divine Feminine Energy workshop on January 31.

We'll move our bodies through yoga. We'll dance. We'll breathe. We'll connect—to ourselves, to each other, to the sacred feminine that lives within each of us.

This isn't about becoming something you're not. It's about remembering who you've always been.

What Exactly is a Guru? (And Who Definitely Isn't)

In the world of social media, self-proclaimed gurus and spiritual "leaders" are everywhere. It's not that there are actually more enlightened beings out there—just a lot more egos sprouting up!

Here are the red flags to watch for:

1. The Money Funnel - Spirituality becomes a road to riches through carefully designed marketing funnels:

• Free class (the hook)
• $37-$47 digital course (that 99% never finish—basically a long, boring blog)
• $300-$699 series (run by the guru's "top trainer")
• $700-$2500 "exclusive access" with the guru
• $3500-$10,000 retreats

Notice the pattern? It's designed to extract maximum dollars, not facilitate genuine transformation.

2. Isolating You from Support - You're encouraged to separate from family, friends, and advisers who are supposedly "holding you back." Real teachers support your healthy connections—they don't require you to abandon them.

3. Grandiose Titles - "Enlightened master." "Self-realized yogi." "Saint." "Disciple of Christ." These aren't signs of spiritual attainment—they're red flags of narcissism.

4. Not Walking the Talk - Do they embody their own teachings? Practice what they preach? Or are they spiritually bypassing—focusing on the "end game" while minimizing the actual hard work of building a conscious, intentional life?

5. Instant Transformation - Promises like "Instant change!" "Miracles!" "Quick transformation!"

Here's the truth: Self-actualization is discussed in every spiritual tradition on earth, and none of them promise it happens overnight. Real growth takes months, years, sometimes lifetimes. It's ongoing and unfolding. There's never a "Ta-Da!" moment where you're done. As long as we're alive, we're unfolding into our True Selves.

The Real Truth About Growth - We're not transforming into someone else. We're rediscovering our True Selves—our Soul, which has been there all along.

The word "Guru" actually means "from darkness to light." And here's the secret: the Guru is inside you and always has been.

Trust your inner wisdom. Enjoy your path. 🙏
