Dear Reader,

Welcome to a beautiful Ren Xue tradition: Global Awakening Day.

On the first Sunday in October, the Ren Xue community celebrates this special day to help uplift humanity and inspire a more positive direction.

Please join this Qifield, spend time on inner reflection, set your intentions for the year, and take part in the Global Awakening Day meditation created by Yuan Tze, Ren Xue's founder.

You may wish to spend some extra time in nature, create time for a longer inner practice, or join others over the weekend.

Find ways to connect with various events over the weekend and learn more here. You'll find the Global Awakening Day meditation through that link as well.

​

This weekend is also the global premiere of the new documentary Any Given Moment.

I experienced this film on retreat in April. It is a touching reminder of life's potential and the powerful changes available within each of us using effective tools and pure-hearted determination.

It also offers you some time in a quiet, beautiful Qifield as you watch.

​You'll find it on RenXueTV beginning today.

If you enjoy it, please like and comment to help others find it in the land of YouTube scrolling:)

With gratitude for your courage and life cultivation efforts,​
Stephanie

PS. I'd love to hear your input on possible upcoming Qi Writers' Circles. The new time would be Fridays midday Pacific time if there's enough interest. Please reply to this email to let me know if you'd prefer the regular 6-week class structure or a new monthly drop-in format.

This will help me bring you what you need while accommodating my new schedule and responsibilities. Thank you!

"Stephanie’s writing class with Tong Yuan as an exploration topic has been a beautiful deep dive into unlocking my Shen. She holds a lovely nourishing and supportive Qifield and the group shares are magical...a place where my Shen can come through with wisdom and insights. Much gratitude for this offering."
