The Courage to Be
Finding Ground When the World Shakes.
A recording of a live online gathering.
The Courage to Be is a reflective gathering for those navigating uncertainty, grief, fear, or profound change—and longing for a deeper ground from which to meet life honestly and whole.
Drawing on presence, story, and sacred wisdom, this offering explores courage not as bravado or certainty, but as the quiet, steady affirmation of one’s own being in the midst of life as it is. Together, we listen for the deeper ground that holds us when familiar structures fall away, and explore how to live from that ground with integrity, tenderness, and strength.
This gathering is especially for those who feel overwhelmed by the state of the world, caught between despair and numbness, or exhausted by the demand to “stay positive.” It offers a spacious, compassionate invitation to meet what is real—without bypassing pain, and without being defined by it.
Through teaching, silence, reflection, and shared presence, participants are invited to reconnect with the courage of the soul: a courage that does not depend on control or outcomes, but arises from remembering who we are.
This recording can be received as a stand-alone reflection or returned to over time as a grounding companion. For those who feel drawn to continue, there are many ways to walk this path—through future gatherings, longer journeys, retreats, and individual accompaniment. You’re invited to follow what opens.

Final Blessing
May what we carry be held in love and transformed into light
May we root so deeply that the storm itself becomes our teacher
And we become the light in the world.
