There's never been a better time to remove the barriers to a healthy, productive life! Even though people have hurt you and you cannot forget it, you can be free from grudges, resentment, self-defeating habits, and negative feelings. Forgiving is the only way to stop the pain and bring hope to the future.

We remain in an on-going time when the peoples of our world struggle with uncertainty in meeting basic needs of food, water, air, and shelter. With intention, we will plant “seeds of compassion” to nurture and grow in a posture of loving kindness as we walk the labyrinth using the Metta prayer as a focus and companion for the day.

Throughout our life we experience the loss of people, places and things. We will take time to reflect on our losses and to discover how loss can lead to greater wholeness and holiness.

As people embark on a journey of self-discovery, they often reach these "in-between" places. Their old understandings of reality don't work anymore; yet the journey forward can feel lonely as they leave a place that felt like home.

An Integral Approach to Spiritual Development can offer guidance during these challenging times of transformation.
