Chanting Sanskrit Mantra is an ancient practice that goes back to time immemorial. Sanskrit Mantra is practiced by Buddhists, Hindus, Jainists, Sikhs and people of all faiths all across the planet.

This ancient practice leads us to that place within; that heals all, calms every worry, and fills us with that Divine love we all search for. There is nothing to believe, no dogma, no person to …

This group is for those who want to create more authentic, intimate relationships in all areas of their lives and have fun doing it.

We are excited to share this with the beautiful people of Portland. We will start with …

The purpose of these meetups is to gather together a community of women who have an interest in performing rituals, creating altars, sharing food and experiencing at times guided meditation and drumming, all in the context of gathering together to discuss and explore topics of specific interest to women. The connection women have with the moon is ancient, primal and lives in their bodies. I have created this group as a way to gather together women who are passionate, fierce, courageous and who w …

Come share your heart, rest in Being, and connect with others in a safe nurturing setting. Most forms of Spiritual realization have been experienced in the subjective "inner" dimension of our lives. The process we share here reveals the way that embracing our human "everyday" selves and connecting with others not only feels good, but deepens our spiritual awakening too. We expand into a larger energetic field that connects us at the heart in ordinary human relationships, where life is lived. Tod …

To foster this, we meet to discuss and share our experiences and insights in open conversations or presentations by members of our circle and friends from other circles.

We will begin each class by hearing a concise version of the story of one of the Greek/Roman Gods: Dionysus, Artemis, Mercury, Athena, Apollo, Zeus, etc.. Then, in …

Welcome! This group is for you if you are tired of checking your soul at the door when you walk into work. It may not seem like work is a place where your soul is welcome but whatever kind of work you do, your soul belongs with you. It is simply not sustainable to be separated from your source of vital energy for 40+ hours per week for any number of years. Some organizations are good or even great at supporting their employees well-being and some are not. I have found through my work that many …

While we grieve their loss from our physical world, they want us to know they are ok.  Life will never be the same for us, but by recognizing their signs of communication, we ca …
