You Can Be Yourself
Just a sentence that conveyed so much. My heart swelled, and it transmitted something deep into my being: Just be yourself Lisa. "You can really, really, just be yourself."

Exploring the Perceived Mental and Being Reality
In this 20 minute guided rest Lisa will invite you to curiously and gently explore the realities of thoughts and of Being. You will have the opportunity to see if noticing comes from a thought/mental reality, the Being reality, or both. This could be useful when you are in a mental train thought that seems like the only reality available, and may provide you with an opportunity to see things from a different perspective.
Our Radical Imaginations: Exploring Self, The Collective, and Possibilities through Liberatory Writing
I am so excited to share an upcoming offering with all of you: Our Radical Imaginations: Exploring Self, The Collective, and Possibilities through Liberatory Writing. If you're looking for an embodied course to deepen into this summer, this might just be it!

Being ReBorn
I have so many questions these days: Who am I without the ideas/fantasies that sell me false truths? Who am I without the ideas/fantasies which promise me safety, but don’t actually give me safety? Who am I without the ideas/fantasies that promise connection but don’t actually give me healthy connection?
Life Sings Me a Love Song
life sings me a love song,
a beckoning from the beyond
to travel into the beyond.
past what I’ve known,
towards what I’ve forgotten.
I get caught in past
The Day After
I wonder how far back we’ll have to remember,
to re-member ourselves as people who
co-create futures that
honor life.

Standing Rest
In this meditation we will try a different form of exploring your body. Lisa will guide you in a standing pose and will gently discover your body from here. At any moment you are free to change your pose or pause and take care of yourself if needed. The meditation will take 13 minutes. (This recording is taken from one of Lisa's MIE live sessions)
Slow Unfoldings
This morning, a scent grabbed me,
nuzzling a part of me that
had been slumbering
all these winter months.
In a split second,
this flower,
and all her itty bitties,
woke me up.
Life’s weaving as HerSelf
I will be writing a poem per day during the month of April, and will be studying the Kybalion during the month of April. They wove together to create this:
April and May Embodied Gathering: Discovering Empowerment Together
It is crucial, especially in times such as these, that as we find spaces and people who listen to and believe in our stories - to our sacred, lived experiences. Your experiences are the hallowed ground of your being and will be fully honored in our sacred and carefully created container.
Discovery in Being Lost
Letting myself be lost... staying in beginner’s mind- it is the deepest invitation these days for me. I watch my mind try to grasp onto this, or that, so as to have some (delusionary) control.
A Slow Down, A Wake Up
I feel beginner’s mind especially strong right now, not so much by choosing, but in that it’s found me- I’ve wound up Here as a beginner. It is a glorious place to be, although for the personality, not so much.
Supporting Ourselves in Moments of Challenge
This is 23 minute guided rest was done during a Gathering in which participants were struggling with a lot of challenges. I decided to weave that in a practical way into the guided rest for that evening. Please feel free to push pause at any moment, so you can take more time and more care with what is unfolding for you.
Gentle Grounding
Lisa helps us discover how we can gently ground ourselves in that which is supportive, so as to be able to then attend to the emotional or psychological challenges we might be experiencing.
Using Practices to Survive
I have utilized many practices to survive, and many to thrive. And sometimes they weave together, as is often the case with transformation, but this is one that stands out to me because of it's simpleness, and also because of how differently I approached it than one often reads about.
