Inspirational words to ponder.....
When the soul wishes to experience something, she throws an image of the experience out before her
and enters into her own image.

Upcoming Tele-Playshops
October
Dialogue with the Mysteries: Part 2-
Personal Mythology (The Local Story)
with Robin Cooper-Stone, SoulCollage Facilitator in Virginia.
Due to the popularity of last month's tele-playshop, Robin has agreed to continue her discussion with us in October. We will discuss what Seena Frost calls "the local story," the Committee and Community suits, relative to our own personal mythologies. To paraphrase William Blake, "We must more consciously create our own myths or be enslaved to the myths of another." Towards this end, we will be answering questions with the potential to open new vistas in our SoulCollage work.
Robin Cooper-Stone, M.F.A., taught The Heroic Quest in freshman composition courses at theUniversity ofAlabama. A few years ago, she took a workshop with Dr. James Hollis, author of Tracking the Gods: The Place of Myth in Modern Life. She is one year into her personal SoulCollage journey and trained to be a SoulCollage Facilitator with Seena Frost. She lives in Virginia with her husband and two children. Date: Monday, October 15, 2007.... That's Today!

Resources to support your inner work
as you dive deeper into your beautiful soul
 Books:
I'm in Charge of Celebrations, by Byrd Baylor. You'll find this book on the children's shelf but there's something for us "grown-ups" here as well. It's about a little girl who makes up her own celebrathis book on the children's shelf but there's something for us "grown-ups" here as well. It's about a little girl who makes up her own celebration days, and gives each special day a special name. "Last year I gave myself one hundred and eight celebrations- besides the ones that they close school for." This enchanting book has made me look at my days a little bit differently. And I wonder what would happen if we all made this a practice ourselves!
How To See Yourself As You Really Are, by the Dalai Lama. Another wise book from a very wise man. This is an important book for anyone seeking to become better acquainted with their inner world, and how that inner world relates to the world around them. Speaking of Faith, by Krista Tippett, creator and host of Public Radio's Speaking of Faith. A former diplomat andYaleDivinity School graduate, the author grew up in an evangelical culture and spent a decade as a nonreligious person. Now as someone who for many years has reflected on and talked with others about faith, she brings deep insight and a unique vantage point as she explores religious traditions- viewing them all as rich resources for our spirits, and as guides on our various life journeys.
The God of Animals, by Aryn Kyle. This is a moving, beautifully crafted novel about family, horses, love, death, class inAmerica, and the many different journeys people choose to take or not take. Even though it's narrated by 12 year oldAlice, it still contains a full measure of adult secrets, betrayals, longings and joy. Even if you've never been drawn to horses (like me), this novel will touch your soul in many places. The Best Year of Your Life, by Deborah Ford. Number one "New York Times" bestselling author Debbie Ford offers a proven, practical blueprint for making today ("this moment") the beginning of the best year of your life. Filled with inspiring guidance, encouraging stories, and life-changing exercises, The Best Year of Your Life is a call to action. It's time to stop pretending that the life of your dreams will magically arrive, and instead make a clear and precise plan of action that is guaranteed to deliver the life you've been waiting for.
Music:
Alleluia to the Pachelbel Canon in D, by Robert Gass and Wings of Song. Beautiful, soft, soothing chanting. Zone out or zone in... either way, you'll love this heavenly music
.
Websites:
Ali's Gallery- Exciting art work by American artist Ali Miner
Gratefulness.org- A network for grateful living.
Bohemian-Chick- This fun site is all about supporting women in finding their own inner-bohemian-chick. A great place to visit if you're stuck in a rut and need to find some kind of outlet, inspiration, or new beginning. |
