The Holy Feminine

A note on "Reclaiming Goodness, Goddess, and Self" exploring themes of femininity, devotion, and transformation - regardless of gender.  Including another invitation for women to join Tuesday Rivera’s “Luminosity Intensive.” And for those of you who need something more “heady” than spiritual, there is a good, long quote at the end.

The Other Significant Others

Today I’m writing about friendship. And about ways to grow our imagination beyond our atomized, hyper-individual selves. And beyond our narrow take of how a nuclear family should live. I often say that one day I want to start a congregation. Not something that pretends to be totally new. In my dreams, I call it the “Congregation of Co-Evolution Through Friendship.” Because that is what is at the heart of this dream. A way to nurture our togetherness. A way to co-create a space of mutual aid and support in matters that are both spiritual and material.

Your MVP

I’m writing to invite you to think about your Minimum Viable Philosophy (MVP).

Your Minimum Viable Philosophy is like your “trojan mouse.” It is your experimental framework for how to live a good life. When your minimum viable philosophy meets reality you get a sense of how it works. You gather feedback from your experience interacting with others, yourself and the world. And you iterate. You learn.

How are you going to live?

BOOST Your Practice is Baaaaack!!!

This is one of our most loved programs.

I am letting you know about it right now because I am inviting you to make a commitment before you start the holiday season. It will feel so good for you to know that something so good for you is waiting for you on the other side of this joyful but often chaotic time.

And because if you are in the grips of anger and despair at the horrors unfolding in the world. The best way to meet big trouble is in full alignment with yourself.

Just Married!

What I share here with you might often be about our work, about strategy and thought. About amazing people. And about what will help us become better.

But I also mean to share my heart with you. My journey. What I’m learning, and where I mean to go. I mean to share it, because I want to continue to find the others, those of us who are saying yes. We’ll face forward. Here we go.

What I share with you is my heart and my life. And so of course I will share with you one of the happiest, fullest days of my life. The day I married Tuesday Rivera. The day we became husband and wife.
