If everybody looks through broken glass, then together, we are looking at a world that looks broken. When I notice my crack…you notice yours, and we start healing our cracks, then we begin to look at the world through clear glass. And that’s what trauma healing does. It starts unifying the world. ~Thomas Hüb
How many cracks have appeared in our window over the last few years: COVID, Syria, the death of George Floyd and too many others, floods, droughts, fires and now the invasion of Ukraine. Can you make sense of what is happening? Do you dare take a side other than on the side of “kill no one in my name?” Imagine the unimaginable—your community being invaded. For what? Consider the fear of people on both sides, one side for their lives, the other side for seeing their sons, brothers and fathers coming back in body bags. In whose name is this insanity being perpetrated?
What can we do to help the peoples of Ukraine and Russia: READ MORE
With warmest regards,
Marilyn

Healing the Divide: MeToo to WeTogether
"I have been deeply touched by my experiences with GERI courses. While I have long been aware of gender injustice and violence, true solutions are rare. This kind of truth telling and witnessing opened my heart and mind to the possibility of true gender equality."~ Alex Eppel, Male Participant, USA
Can you imagine being part of a group who actually share their truth together - across the genders? A group of people who begin to re-invent our human future together—replacing our legacy of gender dysfunction with a new civilization of beloved community?
Starts March 12

 WHAT WOULD MAISIE DO?
Next month's Global Read! Through sixteen books, the Maisie Dobbs series has had a resounding impact on fans. Readers have shared with author Jacqueline Winspear how Maisie’s stories have resonated with them or helped them through difficult times. Fans have been inspired by the heroine’s resilience and endurance, repurposing her strength in their own lives in a way perhaps best embodied by the phrase “What Would Maisie Do?”
Anchored by thirty of Maisie's most timeless quotes, coupled with Jacqueline Winspear’s inspiration for each nugget of wisdom, these reflections offer readers additional insight into the world of Maisie Dobbs and invite them to reflect on favorite moments and memories.

 CONVERSATION COLLECTIVE'S GRIEF SERIES
Conversation Collective is now offering an ongoing series focused on examining grief. Through mindfulness and breath practices, journaling, one-on-one conversation, and group check-in, we will gently explore the dimensions of grief. Sessions will incorporate very subtle movement and breathing. Please join us for these weekly gatherings if you desire meaningful conversation about grief, loss, and life.
Disclaimer: This series is not therapy. The facilitators have no special degrees in grief counseling. Our hope is to hold space for community to bring some wonder to the topic of grief and death – an experience that unites us as humans and from which there is so much wisdom and learning to gain. For questions contact .
Mondays at 3:00 pm PT
