HOME → ENOUGH → REALIZE → FREEDOM → BLESSING
What we Desire… Unfolding from within
What if personal growth & development
weren’t about becoming someone else…
but about becoming more fully ourselves?
What if the deepest transformations
didn’t begin by striving harder,
but by cultivating the inner conditions
that allow Life to move more freely through us?
That’s the adventure we’re exploring together in Soul GYM.
Each month we’ll enter through a different doorway,
practicing becoming and
participating more consciously.
One practice.
One unfolding journey.
One shared adventure.
.
How do we become more and more at HOME?
Within ourselves. With each other.
How do we invite Life to FLOW through us?
So that our lives increasingly become a blessing.

AUGUST
HOME
Living as Allies with Our Body-Soul
Home is where the heart is;
where we are safe, comfortable, at ease;
where we are invited to relax and be ourselves;
where we are loved just as we are and just as we are not…
We may have experienced a taste – or maybe overabundance –
early or late – or never.
But it’s not too late… to create this for yourself – within.
.
Many of us expend enormous energy
pushing ourselves, overriding our body & its needs,
fighting what our body-soul most hungers-for.
This month we gently invite a different relationship.
Together we’ll cultivate skills, practices & presence
that invite greater communication and relationship
with our body-soul.
Creating within ourselves
more of the HOME we want to live in,
with our body-soul increasingly a trusted ally
rather than an adversary.
We’ll be practicing:
🌼 Cultivating Safety, Comfort & Ease
🌼 Developing Self-Care, Self-Compassion & Self-Love
🌼 Gently unseating anxiety, hyper-vigilance, and survival patterns
One small practice at a time…
Creating a little more room for Life.
.
SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER
ENOUGH
Living from our Sacred Truth
As we become more at home within ourselves,
we notice more of the quiet (and sometimes very LOUD) stories
that tell us :
we’re not enough,
we don’t have enough,
we aren’t worthy of enough.
Together we’ll explore what it means to live from Sacred Truth
rather than anti-truth patterns that create
fear, pain, invalidation, shame and competition.
What becomes possible
when we stop organizing our lives around “not enough”…
and begin living from what is deeply and truly enough?
.
NOVEMBER – JANUARY
REALIZE
Living-out our Sacred Dreams & Visions
To realize something is wonderfully twofold.
– First, we awaken to it.
We begin to see what has been quietly calling us.
– Then…
We begin making it manifest.
Not through force or fantasy,
but by becoming the people
through whom our deepest desires –
our dreams, visions, callings…
can naturally take shape in the world
This is the journey from sacred possibility
to lived participation.
.
FEBRUARY
FREEDOM
BEing the LOVE we want
So many of us spend our lives trying to get love.
What if another way is possible?
As we discover greater inner freedom,
we begin becoming the love we seek.
Love no longer needs to grasp.
It no longer needs to possess.
Freedom is one of the greatest gifts genuine love gives.
To ourselves.
To those we cherish.
To the world around us.
From here we are FULL, fulfilled in Love.
We are FREE – no matter what we do, or they do –
we are IN Love.
When we stop needing others
to supply the love that makes us feel whole,
we become freer to actually love them…
and allow them to love us.
.
MARCH & APRIL
BLESSING
Living as Healthy Healers & Helpers, Lovers & Leaders
The journey doesn’t end with us.
As we become more robust, resilient, and deeply alive,
our lives naturally, organically begin to bless the lives of others.
Without all the striving, forcing, conniving…
Not because we’re pushing to be extraordinary, popular or important.
(Although we might end up doing some of these things : )
One FLICK of our finger, while we are in FLOW –
in the right way, in the right place, at the right time, with the right people
– can shift our world in ways no amount of pure human exertion can.
.
What does it mean to participate as a blessing?
Through healing, creativity, leadership, relationship, service…
– from fullness rather than depletion
– by BEing the change rather than forcing the change
– in FLOW rather than GO GO GO!
Because Life has more freedom to move through us.
Our own organic participation itself becomes more life-giving.

In this Soul GYM Series
The Practice of Becoming
What we Desire… Unfolding from within
We don’t expect perfection.
We don’t rush transformation.
We simply keep showing up.
Practicing.
Playing.
Growing.
One small step at a time.
Tasting who we are and what is possible.
Dedicating ourselves more deeply to the Practice of Becoming.
May our lives increasingly become a blessing.
HOME – relationship within our embodied self
ENOUGH – relationship with truth, reality & worth
REALIZE – relationship with possibility & co-creation
FREEDOM – relationship with All Our Relations, beginning within
BLESSING – relationship with our unique, organic contribution to Life
.
The Practice of Becoming
is the practice of developing in how we relate
– and therefore in how we participate in reality.
We don’t have to believe ourselves into becoming.
We practice relating differently.
We practice participating differently.
And over time…
We become different.
In ways that Matter.
.
Come PLAY.
