Live with Purpose, Give with Purpose

Every intention, every achievement has come out of dissatisfaction, not serenity. No one ever said, 'Things are perfect. Let's invent fire.'

Every intention, every achievement has come out of dissatisfaction, not serenity. No one ever said, 'Things are perfect. Let's invent fire.'

Fran Lebowitz

A life filled with purpose is one in which meaning is experienced.

We experience meaning when we tap into and acknowledge our suffering - the dissatisfaction of our lives - with the wish to know something else.

And when we become more acquainted with the suffering along with the possibility of a different experience,  we begin to make intentional and conscious choices to help us find that.

And that gives us purpose. 

It's a circular process that feeds itself but requires that you step into it.

It requires that you choose it. 

In January, I will be bringing together an amazing community of individuals who have already made the choice to step in... this is what Year of Intention is all about.

If you missed my live Q&A last week, you can watch the replay here. Watch until the end so you don't miss out on the special offer :)

If you're ready to STEP IN, apply here! And check out my giveaway on Instagram for an amazing opportunity to join and to help me spread the word!

Nothing has supported me in my life more than the direct teachings & guidance of my teacher.

Nothing has shown me more about myself and no one has quite ever cut through my egoic material like she has.

I would not be where I sit today without learning to sit with myself.

Over the past decade, I have worked with her 1:1, sat for hundreds of hours of weekly meditations, and accumulated weeks of silent meditation retreats - just returned from a 5-day sit with her yesterday!

And now, only now, am I ready to offer this to you...

Though I always incorporated silence + meditation into my annual retreat, I will now begin to offer silent meditation retreats. It is an honor and a privilege.

My next offering will be a Half-Day Silent Retreat:

Saturday, February 12, 2022, 9am-12:30pm

Richmond VA

Sliding scale donations: $40-$125
