“Great Tightness” was the phrase that caught my attention first. That is what scarcity feels like to me. Am I “Wedged in a Great Tightness” like Winnie-the-Pooh was wedged in Rabbit’s door? All Pooh had to do to get free was wait a week – don’t eat and then have his community push him out.Read the Rest…

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.

Completion and Creation
Use this guided process to make a powerful ending of your year to set up 2012. Each December, Seven Stones offers a process to the community to complete the year: using the principals and practices of exquisite sufficiency such as telling the truth about what happened and didn’t happen, successes and let-downs, any associations that are called to be celebrated or mourned, and distinguishing actions to be taken. In addition to annually, this process can be used monthly, weekly and even daily!

the numbers
May 10th, 2010 - No Comments
I have one-third of the year laid out before me in my pocket diary. I notice that all I see ugliness and scarcity; I didn’t walk enough, I didn’t run at all. I stop and look again. Let me focus on the numbers. It is all right there. I have tracked and measured. I tookRead the Rest…

May 6th, 2010 - No Comments
I reflect on the experience of practicing Conscious Embodiment with Robin Athey at a workshop Jen Cohen and I took together last weekend. My partner and I are in ‘a grab’, a gripped tug of war, and patterns are revealed. We intervene with the work of Wendy Palmer. I force I push I lean inRead the Rest…
A Terrorist Among Us
May 5th, 2010 - 1 Comment
The news broke – a text message sent to my husband’s mobile at 5:30AM. “They caught the NYC bomber . . .he lived in Connecticut” and with that my husband stepped into the shower. Really? Connecticut. Then I heard he lived in Bridgeport, wow that is close I thought, only 20 minutes from here. . .Read the Rest…
Inclusivity: Antidote to Fear and A Way Forward (Part 1)
April 28th, 2010 - No Comments
The days of fire and brimstone as motivation fodder are over. In with locavorism and Buddhas on front porches is the mandate to send out directional messages that are contextualized in inclusivity. And not just the standardization of handicapped ramps and diversity curriculum. In the postmodern era we are in, each of us with a message will have to do some rigorous looking at our underlying assumptions, or off we go to the guillotine.
The Moment In-between

The moment in-between here and there yesterday and today the inhale and the exhale hello and good-bye this bite and the next the loving kindness and the harsh tone day and night Why do we ignore the space, the silence the beauty of in-between? How many times have we been gifted this precious space andRead the Rest…

The 3rd Global Sufficiency Summit has come and gone (April 10th and 11th). It is a monumental feat to bring together people from so many different areas of expertise, ways of thinking, and paths. We gathered together inside of a shared vision of the world, and in a shared yearning for ourselves – and ourRead the Rest…
Exhaustion
April 12th, 2010 - No Comments
I was meditating in a workshop lead by Ethan Nichtern this weekend. He did a short five-minute meditation before we began talking about how changing our minds can change the world. The conversation was wonderful and I got many great ideas: pick up garbage, stop using plastic bags, start each week with a blank slate.Read the Rest…
