12 Years of Transformation

Twelve years ago—almost to the day—we held our first service here on the Island of Kaua’I at Center for Spiritual Living Kaua’i. I could say that our twelve years of transformation began on that day, but I would be wrong. The transformation of my life began when I chose to become a minister, and, soon […]

Observer or Participant?

I am reading a wonderful book Walking a Sacred Path by Dr. Lauren Artress, who brought the labyrinth to the United States in the 1990s. She writes about the difference between a tourist and a pilgrim, and I was deeply struck by this distinction. She says that tourists observe, while pilgrims participate. I believe I […]

Lighten the Load

“There is a power of light and love and beauty in the universe greater than anything we have ever imagined—and it includes us.” I was talking with someone about how hard a task he was doing felt. I’ve felt the same way when I’m engaged in something in the 3D world—like taxes, finances, or a […]

It is Safe to Heal

I’m here to talk about health. I do have a belief in perfect health, that our true state is “wholeness.” I also have a belief that it might be necessary for the medical profession to assist us in healing. So, as you read this, please note that I am not saying that one should not […]

The Courage to be Curious

Does it really take courage to be curious? I believe it does. Here’s why. Curiosity is defined as the desire to learn, explore, or understand something new. It’s a strong motivation to seek out information, experiences, or answers to questions—often driven by a sense of wonder, interest, or the urge to resolve uncertainty. When we […]

Patrick

Today, I celebrate 67 years of life on this planet named Patrick Feren. I am honored to have spent 28 of those 67 years getting to know him. I first met him as someone I observed across a crowded room. He was powerful. He was alive. He was giving of himself, doing what he does […]

MY EASTER/PASSOVER MESSAGE

As I awaken to Easter morning, and I’m catapulted back to my days as a young Catholic girl. I was deeply devoted to Easter, to Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. I learned to believe it—it was my truth, passed down by my parents, twelve years of Catholic education, and what I now call my indoctrination into […]
