The Ladder doesn’t go anywhere. The race isn’t real. The things we have are not as important as the grooves we carve. Deep down, we know this. Yet, we do nothing. We’re called to something more in our life, yet we’re anchored to the life we have. Most of us would prefer to have a calling, but we’re unwilling to ...
“We are leading in uncertain times:” it’s become a meme. And it has become our reality. A reality that, as leaders, is our responsibility to help our associates navigate. How do we do that? How, in the time of COVID and intense political unrest, do we keep our workplace culture from devolving into a morass of drama and victimhood? Join ...
For many of us, the path of awakening began with the act of coming to terms with addiction. And with the onset of COVID-19, some of the usual support structures for those in recovery have become more difficult to access or disappeared altogether. Welcome to a recovery meeting for integralists - regardless of program or spiritual beliefs. This meeting will ...
Our focus in Simply Sitting is on creating and sustaining a meditation practice that isn't about spirituality. It's not about enlightenment, or attaining some special state of being. It's not about anything you might experience. It's about the simplicity of sitting, and being with what is, day after day. And it just might change your life. Meet Your Practice Leader ...
Join Robb Smith for a casual holiday get-together by the Christmas tree.
Through a cultivation of embodiment we can more fully awaken, heal, and respond to life. As such, we can integrate many practices of awakening with embodiment, making our awakening much stronger and more rooted and integrated in our lives. Ryan will guide us in a foundational embodiment meditation of inhabiting our body as embodied awareness. By inhabiting our body in ...
“Every bad feeling is potential energy toward the right way of being if you give it space to move toward its rightness.” So said Eugene Gendlin, the originator of the Focusing practice. And given the current circumstances: pandemic, racial tensions, political unrest, just to name a few, it’s likely that you’re experiencing some so-called “bad feelings” and wish that things ...
How important is leisure to you? Should society have more lax norms concerning casual sex? Are you surrounded mostly by extroverts? Is optimism a good thing? In this final session of the series, we will explore the link between culture and our subjective sense of well-being.

Welcome to a voice dialog practice with Tyko Granberger that invites you to converse with different voices arising out of this present moment in history, specifically with the voices of the Joker and the Secretary of State. Talking through and to our different feelings makes us come into contact with more sides of ourselves. It also helps us release stagnant ...
Are you a leader? That was a trick question, because we already know the answer. You are. Every one of us is a leader. We may not have the title on our business card, but that doesn't change the fact. Leadership is about influence and we're all in the influence business. If you've been stifling your leadership energy or if ...
Did you know that body and money are the top two categories for New Year’s resolutions year after year? Are they at the top of your list for 2021? Funny enough, they tend to go hand in hand - and there are some good reasons for this. If you’d like to finally stop struggling in one or both of these ...
It’s difficult to set a course for freedom when you are burdened with incompletions. Incompletions can show up externally as half-completed projects, broken agreements, strained relationships or internally as grudges, apathy and remorse. Incompletions can lead to lack of creativity, energy, and clarity as well as debt, weight and clutter. It’s time to bring closure to incompletions of the past ...
Kindness is a quality we can learn to dial up, a juiciness that softens rigid places and people, a soothing medicine for the aches and pains of our emotional being and an energy and orientation with no downsides, a mode of living we can really trust. In this guided session we will shift body, heart and mind into the open, ...
Resilience is the ability to handle and bounce back from crisis. But beyond resilience lies antifragility which is the ability to use crisis and change to become stronger and better - to thrive. Rather than trying to survive the crisis, this means allowing the crisis or change to rework us, like soft clay, into something new, improved and more resilient ...
We are lucky if we have something we long to create! Perhaps it is your next project to execute, problem to solve, polarity to manage or big desire to enact.

The three foundations of relationship are friendship, abilities to resolve conflicts back to love, and a love affair. In many ways it’s obvious how to be friends and resolve conflicts, but what are the dimensions of a good love affair? We tend to be attracted to someone who resonates with our wounds and dreams. Wounds and dreams can be explored ...

“At some point in our lives, most of us absorbed this false belief that causes the feeling of shame. As a result of not feeling seen, loved, valued and understood, we developed the belief that we were not being loved because there was something wrong with us.” - Margaret Paul Shame is the feeling that there is something inherently wrong ...
