Dreams for the Harvest – My Fall Newsletter

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

Like a very slow-moving clock, I aspire to create quarterly email newsletters but somehow only manage to get out two per year. Still, that does not deter me from calling them Quarterly Newsletters! Aim high, as I always tell my kids. Earlier today I sent out my Fall Newsletter, available to read here. Highlighted in the email [...]

Talking to Children About Dreams (Video)

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

It’s early in the morning and you’re busy getting your children ready for school. They are mostly cooperative, but one of them is moving very slowly and instead really wants to tell you about her dream. What do you do? Maybe you’re a teacher, working with a small group of students who are writing stories. [...]

Standing in Spirit – Centeredness Through Change

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

I love my work as a consultant on digital publishing and social media. It’s fun, I’m good at it, and it allows me time to write and keep up my radio show. Still, I was wondering when I’d get back into teaching, my other love. Now, it seems, is the time. In 1999 I went [...]

My Very Best Piece of New Year’s Advice

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

I was explaining to my teenage daughter yesterday what a tough year 2010 was for most people, by way of an example from our own life. Here we were, driving on the freeway in my old Honda, heading down to San Francisco. On the back window of my car was a big white “11″ on [...]

Mugwort Harvest!

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Fall fell with a thunk today, as the air turned from summer-fog-wet to winter-is-coming-cold. You have to live here for a couple years at least to feel the shift, but California does have four seasons, and they change roughly at the cross-quarter days: May 1 for Summer, Aug 1 for Fall, Nov 1 for Winter, [...]

The Art of Getting Up Again

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I had a great conversation with Dr. Joan Borysenko this morning on Dream Talk Radio. We talked about dreams and mind-body healing, and at one point discussed the limits of what can be taught in a workshop. I commented that there should be a workshop titled “The Art of Getting Up Again,” since that is the [...]

Business is Magic

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

I am not happy about publishing only one post in June, but while not writing I have been very busy mulling over how to make the best use of this space, and all the other spaces I have on the web. Some of you may have seen Jason’s post about the changes at Serpentine Music [...]

Like Dropping a Stone in a Very Deep Well

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

A few days ago I woke with a vivid dream: I am watching someone skim the surface of the pool I swim in, running the big blue net back and forth across the calm water. Suddenly the net picks up something other than leaves and bugs: a big black tar ball appears in the net [...]

The Call of the Dream Tribe

Introducing The Dream Tribe, a members-only online community where you can get instant feedback on your dreams, connect [...]

Avalon, the Mirror Isle

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Long, long ago, before the legends were made, before the stories of heroes and magic were passed like flagons around a peat fire, Avalon was a green jewel of an island floating in an inland sea. The way to this island was always by boat, each vessel woven by hand, and guided skillfully through thickets [...]
