Checking my NetVibes this morning, I came across a YouTube video on Conversation at the Edge, which found it at Skepchick, which found it at Feministing, and well, I guess they found it in some old advertising archive for Goodyear! At any rate, it makes an amazing contrast to the reading I’m planning on doing [...]
Here’s an opportunity for some deep psycho/spiritual work–available to anyone, but most accessible to the Central Oregon community. Jonathan Goldman began his career as a practitioner of acupuncture in 1976. He went to Brazil in 1987, where he encountered his own healing, his teachers, and his mediumistic spiritual healership. He lives in Ashland, Oregon, maintaining a [...]

In the meantime, here’s a little bio: Susan has been an astrologer for almost thirty years and has a Master’s degree in [...]

I finally called him. I did not give in to what I’d been resisting. I resisted the urge to give up and [...]
Technorati Profile Ohm or Om I have tried to resist the killing frost, to create enough heat in my defiance to save a whole orchard of pear and peach. As if worry could raise a May night one degree. I invent new battle hymns in my blood. With my friction, I try to protect the [...]
Technorati Profile As I was meditating on “life, the universe, and everything” just as Douglas Adams encouraged us all to do, it suddenly occurred to me that both fundamentalists and people of progressive spiritualities experience some strife at least periodically that emerges as a direct result of their faith systems. But that strife is of [...]
“You are the hero who doesn’t get it right,” wrote the boy. “You are the hero who forgets things and shows up late.” I loved it. There is something marvelous about embracing a flawed hero. It gives us permission to believe that we too might be courageous defenders, contributors to the greater good despite our [...]
