Daology, my very occasional Substack publication, has just baked a fresh new edition hot off the press!

In it, I present a cycle that applies to any pattern, aspect, realm of life. Perhaps you will find it useful:

Process of Formation

1. Con-formation: Set in old pattern
2. De-formation: Break in old pattern
3. In-formation: Learn new pattern
4. Re-formation: Do new pattern
5. Trans-formation: Be new pattern

Centering Amongst Light and Dark

13/10/2023

Tune in to my Daology lecture on “Emotional Alchemy for Mental Health” this Sunday 6:30pm PST / 9:30pm EST which closes this amazing weekend:

Niagara University
Center for Mindful Practice
2023 Mindfulness and Mindful Movement Conversations Conference

The annual online Mindfulness Conversations Conference event will be held on October 14-15, 2023.

Saturday, October 14th will focus on Mindfulness in the professions.

Sunday, October 15th will be dedicated to Mindful Movement.

Both days are for Educators, Health Professionals, Law Enforcement, First-Responders, and the Military and are intended to assist attendees and those they work with to find ways to survive and thrive during these uncertain times.

This year’s conversations will be free for everyone and will focus on education and wellness through mindfulness and mindful movement. We will be presenting workshops for teachers, counselors, administrators, psychologists, social workers, school staff, yoga, Qigong, Tai Chi practitioners, physical therapists, athletic trainers, dancers, police officers, fire fighters, and anyone in the military.

The intent of this event is to call together those interested in mindfulness in their field to meet with others to discuss their work, questions, concerns, share ideas and activities, and to create connections so that ongoing conversations can take place.

The conference begins at 8:30am EST with workshops running from 9:00am EST to 9:00pm EST. Sessions will run for 1 hour with a 15-minute Q&A to follow. Videos for the workshops will be sent to those who register once the conference has concluded.

Calling all weary souls. Join four weekly guided journeys to soothe your senses, ease your spirit, home your self.

To be and give our best, we must receive rest and destress. There is much cause for distress out there. Let us at least enact more peace within.

Tend our own hearts.
Light our inner shadows.
Mind our dear bodies.

Good night, sweet dreams…

Every quarter, Dao Center features a 4-week online training, or “Dao Course” (in addition to an in-person retreat, or “Dao Reunion”).

Thus, we alchemize our self and align our life with the natural seasonal cycle by receiving transmissions resonant with the current elemental phase energy:

• Wood in Spring (Standing Practice)
• Fire in Summer (Strolling Practice)
• Metal in Fall (Sitting Practice)
• Water in Winter (Sleeping Practice)

For the 2022 Fall Dao Course, we cultivate together from October 4, 11, 18, 25 on the Principles of Sitting Practice. Though we meet using Zoom, either live or via recordings, the synergy is potent.

Please consider joining our flow and sharing this healing opportunity with friends and family! Click below to join in:

Enact these primary skills for moment by moment relating to yourself. Be better with others.

“Stress leaks away the meaning of our lives. Daily self-care is an intentional way to recenter on essentials.”
