In the Gathering Dark, Mercy
Friends, These past nine months have inflicted brutal losses throughout our world. For some of you, loss has pierced your lives, upended your homes and businesses, taken from you people and communities whom you love. Loss has opened raw ground under your feet. All of...
Announcing the Deva Alchemy Certification Program
These past few weeks, I’ve been re-reading Etty Hillesum’s journal and letters, written when she was at Westerbork Transit Camp, and later at Auschwitz, where she died in 1943. She was just 29 years old. Her journals are extraordinary. They reveal a thoughtful, deeply...
Through Their Eyes: Books by BIPOC Writers
Friends, it’s been a brutal, heartbreaking week. In the U.S., George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man, was murdered in Minneapolis by a white policeman who handcuffed him and, as Mr. Floyd lay face down on the pavement, jammed his knee into Mr. Floyd’s neck...

You can view any creation through a variety of lenses. For today, consider the unfolding pattern of your life through the lens of a game. Every game has rules that define it, that articulate the boundaries and limits within which the game is played, and the rules of...
The Power of Inner Structure
When external structures fall apart, internal structure becomes essential for your integrity and well being. Structure ≠ rigidity. Structures can be tensile, like bone. They can be flexible and pliable, like skin. They give shape and form to your day. They hold you in...
Covid-19 & the Remaking of Our World
We share this planet with an estimated 8.7 million other species, most of which we haven’t yet identified, the bulk of them microscopic in scale -- including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, among others. Viruses are different from all other species of life because...
