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,​

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...
