Dear Reader,

I hope this finds you well.

Today I offer you a few resources to help you with your life cultivation. I've had people in my writing world ask me for information and resources so I thought I should send those to you as well!

The first is a new series on RenXueTV. It's called Wisdom Guided Living and gets to the heart of life, why we are here, and how fundamental change is possible.

You can watch Episode 1: A Path to Change and Uplift Your Life here.

There is also a new podcast called QiChat. In the first episdoe Fiona talks about how she healed a life threatening illness. She is inspiring and Robin does a lovely job interviewing her. It's laid back and honest.

You can find How I Healed My Chronic Disease here.

And finally, registration for the online and/or in-person retreat with Yuan Tze is open. It is a stupendous opportunity to immerse yourself in a powerful and uplifting Qifield. The online option makes it more easily accessible. You can treat yourself to a 10-day home retreat or watch the recordings as work, family, and life permit.

You can see the details for Seeing Your Original Face 4 here.

If you could use a little more inspiration, you may also mark your calendars for October 4th when the documentary Any Given Moment premieres.

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

From me and my whirlwind of recent writing, I leave you with a question to ponder:

When the light of Jingshen departs what will vanish anyway, what will you be taking with you?*

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

Dear Reader, As we begin shifting into longer days in the northern hemisphere and start transitioning to a new year, I'd like to share with you some hopeful words, ideas, and images. What I have for you today is a self-swaddling analogy birthed while immersed on retreat in November; the poem I shared on Fun Night (Embroidered Cloak); and an invitation to glimpse the beginnings of a long-term plan creating community that...

September 29, 2024 Courtenay, BC, Canada Dear Reader, It's been awhile since I've written to you. I've had some unplanned busy-ness: water leaks resulting in a complete plumbing overhaul, family things, and new opportunities prompting some deep inner reflection. So today I have a few things prompted by and prompted for inner direction: a question, an invitation for next weekend, and a poem. They offer a few ways to reflect on your inner process, how you'd like to be in the world, and what is...

June 9, 2024 Somewhere in Washington State Dear Reader, Whether you are moving into summer like I am or shifting into winter soon, I hope you are growing and changing well. I like to look at balance in my life with each shift in season. If you prefer a more playful and poetic look at this topic, you can read my poem A Fine Balance. The mission in Ren Xue is: Zi Du Du Ren This means help yourself and help others. For me, this is a helpful beginning to the topic of balance. Like many of you, I...
