Why I am Grateful for My Parents
With Mother’s day just passed and Father’s Day just ahead I am reflecting on how grateful I am for my amazing journey with my parents. As some of you know, my childhood was far from perfect and there were many times I actually wished I had a different father or...
The Beauty of Spring and the Joy of Renewal
Yea, spring is here! The blossoms are finally coming out, the birds are singing and it’s getting warmer and warmer each day. I personally LOVE this time, and can’t wait to go outside as much as possible. What is it about spring that is so appealing to the human heart...
The Surprising Lesson Learned from Staffing Noble Man
Earlier this month, we hosted a powerful Noble Man workshop where men from all over the country (and England!) came together for a truly transformational journey - it was such an honor to witness these Noble Men express their vulnerabilities and find deep healing in...
How Are You Serving Others?
Being of service is a hugely important part of personal growth work. And service begins with gratitude, as we shared last month. When we recognize how grace is active in our lives, we want to give. But it works in the other direction as well. When we are of service,...
The “Double Gift” of Serving Others
I really love the work we do at Celebration of Being. Being able to assist men and women as they step into their Healthy Selves, opening their eyes-sometimes for the very first time-to the gift they are to the world, is very a rewarding way to spend my time. After...
Expressing Gratitude & a Powerful Exercise: The Fourth Gateway to Love
As we are getting to our fourth and final Gateway to Love for the month of February, I realize that there are many more than four Gateways to Love. There are probably hundreds of them! What matters is that we at least take one, which is not so easy to do in our modern...
Holding Space for the “Other” & Getting from “Me to We”: The Third Gateway to Love
As we now arriving at week three of February, with Valentine’s Day behind us, we come to the third Gateway to Love, which I call "Holding Space for the Other- Getting from Me to We." What do I mean by that? Well, it is easy to be in our healthy self, present and...
Intimacy and Honesty: The Second Gateway to Love
We just finished our January Celebration of Woman workshop where 20 beautiful and brave women came together in a special bond of sisterhood. Just look at those glowing goddesses in the picture we took on Sunday! As I drove home from the workshop I wondered what had...

The Preciousness of Love at the Hamburg Airport
It was 2016 New Year’s Day around 12 noon at the Hamburg Airport in Germany and my heart had just been sweetly broken open. I was standing at the departure gate watching people say good-bye to each other. I witnessed a middle-aged mother and father sending off their...
What I am Grateful for in 2015
It’s the end of 2015 and looking back at what this year has brought us, I can only bow down in gratitude and wonder to the divine orchestration that has been happening at Celebration of Being. Our workshops throughout 2015 have been full, almost breaking at the seams,...
A Thousand Initiations
Men and women who come to COB experience, on their Celebration of Woman, Noble Man, or Power of Love weekend, a rite of passage, an absolutely unique, deeply transforming experience that’s an initiation into a new way of being. Most people who stay with COB and...
Bringing Our Shadow to the Light
A big part of the work we do at Celebration of Being is working with the “shadow” or the “unconscious” meaning. We aim to address what is not conscious in us but has a huge impact on how we actually live our life. Most of our decisions, habits and reactions come from...
Living Ourselves into a New Way of Thinking
I have been reading a lot of Richard Rohr, a Franciscan friar who is one of my favorite writers. He is on the forefront of the contemporary inter-spiritual dialogue, and is making a huge contribution in bringing the lost contemplative and mystical dimension of...
