If only sufficiency was a panacea. Some radical potion we could take that would annihilate all the weapons of scarcity we breed. But, alas, sufficiency exists in fleeting moments of grace, until we take it on as a practice. My latest practice event occurred in the context of moving. I have never moved a familyRead the Rest…

Upcoming Events
Feathered Pipe Ranch, Montana
Join us for five powerful days to reveal and revel in a movement now afoot to restore, renew and rewire how humanity walks this earth, stewards the land, how we care for one another, and all of life itself. We will share practices for transforming our internal and cultural assumptions of fear and scarcity into joy and generosity.
Somatic Practice Group, DC
Somatic Practice Group for coaches, consultants and other practitioners who work with human beings to bring about abiding transformation for them and ourselves. Lead by Somatic Master Coach Jen Cohen in an experiential learning environment, you will develop and expand your ability to work with clients through the body.
Speaking Truth: Building Trust
Jen Cohen and Gina LaRoche will be at the InterDependence Project in NYC on Wednesday evening, May 3oth.
The truth really does set us free. When we speak it mindfully and with compassion for ourselves and others it builds lasting trust between people. We call speaking truth a practice of sufficiency, and this practice is deeply connected to the teachings of right speech and right action. All are invited to join and see how you can create a living and working environment alive with the truth of the moment, grounded in sufficiency.
Hear It Now
Taking the Scare Out of Scarcity. We engaged in a deep process of unwinding scarcity and allowing sufficiency to emerge. The call was very process orientated and many insights were revealed.
The Birth of the Weapons of Scarcity
April 5th, 2012 - No Comments
In our work with sufficiency and enough-ness at Seven Stones, I have seen many colleagues, clients, friends and organizations get stuck inside scarcity. They seem to deny, or not notice, that scarcity exists for them or they are so stuck in scarcity thinking that it becomes too difficult to create a lasting context of sufficiency,Read the Rest…
Creation Devotion Action, a practice
March 21st, 2012 - No Comments
We have a practice at Seven Stones we call Creation Devotion Action. These domains serve as a way for us to understand and track our lives, our doings, beings and havings inside of the path of sufficiency. We use these distinctions to create our year, our month, our week and our days. We crafted theseRead the Rest…
The Truth Will See Set You Free
March 19th, 2012 - No Comments
In early 2011 Seven Stones hired a wonderful young woman to support some of our work. She is a fabulous person – smart, capable, passionate. Great. As we moved through the year and she began to articulate her real passions, we began to see her strengths and limitations, and we all began to wonder aboutRead the Rest…
Declaring I Am Enough
March 14th, 2012 - No Comments
If you paused in this moment and asked yourself what is enough? How would you answer that question? Where in your life do you have enough? Can you name one place where you know that all is well? When is the last time you said, I am enough exactly as I am? For some ofRead the Rest…
The Moment I Donated 10% of What was Left in the Seven Stones Bank Account
February 3rd, 2012 - No Comments
A Story of Sufficiency Here was a moment in time when it really did look like there was not enough money. In fact, if we did not do something fast, there really and truly would not have been enough to cover our expenses due. This is what we call structural scarcity. The scarcity – theRead the Rest…
Creating February
February 1st, 2012 - No Comments
The first of the month can be a great time to pause and reflect on the aspirations and intentions we created for ourselves and our organizations for the upcoming year. Many of us chose new habits and behaviors to be established as the year turned –at one month in, let us pause together and assessRead the Rest…
Experiments, Challenges and Inquiries
January 6th, 2012 - No Comments
We transformational consultants are always trying to reframe ideas, make them new, fresh and relevant. For example, New Year’s Resolutions became Goals (1980s) became Intentions (1990s) became Declarations (2000s). Now we play in the domain of Experiments, Challenges and Inquiries. Maybe this is just semantics, or re-invented styles from decades past. Experiments are really justRead the Rest…
One Wild and Precious Life
December 26th, 2011 - No Comments
Although a summer’s day seems far away, I thought that ending 2011 with an inquery from Mary Oliver, would be a great way to complete all there is to complete and provide an opening to create 2012. “Tell us, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” TheRead the Rest…
