Sufficiency invites us not to get rid of stuff but to allow our stuff to be part of our flow, the in and out of our lives. The gifting, the exchanging, the transferring, so that our stuff, our relationships, our ideas and our love can be part of the back and forth rhythm of life.

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.

Excessiveness in the face of Uncertainty
November 4th, 2009 - No Comments
What of this ever-changing-ness that I so want to control? What excessiveness am I bringing to that? Like overeating because I am tired, or talking too much because I am nervous; do I over-think, over-plan, over-practice, over accumulate knowledge, friends, money or things to protect myself from the uncertainty?
Sufficient Transitions: Dreaming a New Dream (Part 4 of 7)
October 28th, 2009 - 1 Comment
Telling the Truth is an act of Sufficiency. The Neutral Zone of a transition, the “gap” between events – of endings and beginnings – is some of the most fertile and open terrain of our lives, waiting for cultivation and ripe of creativity. Paradigm shifts occur in the neutral zone and start by telling the truth.
Sufficient Transitions: Assets Inventory (Part 3 of 7)
October 21st, 2009 - 2 Comments
An Asset Inventory is taking stock of our non-monetary or intangible assets, the resources we have internally in ourselves including: spiritual, psychological and physical, as well as the resources available to you from your family, your community, previous experience, alliances and networks. Often when we do this, we discover sources of support we were not yet aware of or parts of our life had not yet considered something to appreciate.
Sufficient Transitions: Mourning (Part 2 of 7)
October 15th, 2009 - 4 Comments
Consciously moving through a transition is an act of Sufficiency. If we flow through our change – accept the end, the murky gap, and the beginning of what is new – if we allow the change and all our feelings about it, if we do not resist, but honor what occurs as our unique process and response, then we are in Sufficiency. Mourning is the action of letting go, the active rewiring in our brain and of our habits. I assert that mourning, like any part of the transition process, is an act of sufficiency. Mourning’s function is to make room for something new to arise. To do this, we investigate and unpack our associations with the person, place or thing that we are letting go of and let go of those too. What are you making room for these days?
Sufficient Transitions: Change (Part 1 of 7)
October 6th, 2009 - 2 Comments
Transition is the way we come to terms with change, the process of ways of being and behaviors that move us forward in our lives from the time before the change to the time after, like a bridge. Making a conscious transition is an act of sufficiency. Transition is inherently an act of trusting, of allowing, of creativity. Transition is about flow. The act of letting go and the process of acceptance are in many ways spiritual actions, and they can bring us to a new place of understanding the world. Transition can help heal us, make peace with past wounds, and focus on our passions.
