Week 3
This week focuses on self-compassion—through meditation, reflective journaling, and daily practices that interrupt self-judgment and tend to unmet needs. Write yourself a self-compassion letter, try supportive touch, and gently replace inner criticism with kindness. Optional readings and resources deepen the journey inward.

A Closer Look at The Addict’s Path to Sexuality
On our way to living the full, beautiful, awesomeness of our sexuality (the Mystical path - which we’ll happily look at next week), we often veer off into two other paths: the Stoic or the Addict. Sometimes we bounce back and forth between the two. We believe it is...
A Closer Look at the Stoic Path of Sexuality
As we’ve all experienced in one way or another, sexuality is a powerful part of our humanity. At COB we view it as a precious gift and a mighty force that is really an outward expression of the deepest part of our humanity - our greatest fulfillment is to be a gift....
Three Paths of Sexuality: The Stoic, The Addict, The Mystic
We had an amazing Power of Love workshop last weekend, with over 50 people between our facilitators, staff, and participants. We are feeling so very inspired and blessed by the bravery of the women who faced, felt and freed many of their blockages around men with...
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 4 Gateways to Love: 1st Gateway: Connection and Community
As we are entering February, the “Month of Love”, with the famous Lover’s Holiday called Valentine’s Day, let’s stop for a moment and ponder what love actually is-and what it isn't. Let’s reflect on how to access it in a way that is real and lasting, and not depending...
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,...
