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…

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!

Avoiding the Holiday Hangover
December 14th, 2011 - No Comments
In the holiday episode of Up All Night, Christina Applegate’s character lovingly tells her husband, played by Will Arnett, it’s the thought that counts, “you don’t need to get me a gift.” But he can’t help himself. He enters the mall, dodges a shopper, gets hit by a perfume sampler, eyes the prize and takesRead the Rest…
Inquiry as Practice: Undoing Victim
November 16th, 2011 - No Comments
Inside of the practice of accepting I am enough, I am drawn to experimenting with ways to stay present, even when I am uncomfortable. I am very uncomfortable right now about the Penn State affair and appreciated reading a post Brene Brown wrote about it. She is a researcher on shame and discusses the systemic culture ofRead the Rest…
Possibilities for Wealth
October 28th, 2011 - 1 Comment
The Caveat: In a world where building wealth is a holy act, and “the wealthy” are exalted, it would be unfair to say wealth provides nothing of value. Of course it does. Having resources allows us to take better care of ourselves, buy the best education, experiences, comforts. There are many examples of the richRead the Rest…
The Way Life Is
October 5th, 2011 - No Comments
We don’t have to do anything to experience our enoughness. I visit the ocean almost every day. Often I walk and talk on the phone, catching up with calls. I’ve had this habit for about eight months since we moved to Maine, during which time, my family adjusted to a new home and community, welcomed aRead the Rest…
No Impact Journal: Final Reflection
September 28th, 2011 - No Comments
Pass or Fail? Before the week of the No Impact Experiment, I stopped focusing on the game. Basically: I got sucked into the vortex for attending to my sick children, who ended up with ear infections over the weekend. Upon reflection of the week, I am left with several inquiries and insights. It’s difficult –Read the Rest…
Time Is On Our Side
July 27th, 2011 - No Comments
“There isn’t enough time.” “If only there were 30 hours in a day, then … then, I’d get it all done.” “I wish I had more time.” Have you ever said these statements before? We hear this from our clients all the time. And I just said it yesterday to my child, which caused a major,Read the Rest…
Distinguishing Scarcity, Choosing Sufficiency
May 25th, 2011 - 1 Comment
This second child business is really testing out my edges of comfort. Starting out with the context of exhaustion as the foundation to every day, add a splash of 4 year old messes everywhere, a total lack of routine and the rest of life continues to happen. For us that has meant stomach bugs (justRead the Rest…
