In under a month, I’ll be beginning a 9-month journey with some wonderful beings in Women Embodied. I still have room for a handful more folks to join me. I believe this work is deeply important and needed in the world as well as in our personal lives and I’d like to share a bit more about…

I’m grateful to be able to reach out to you today. I often think of this: Several years ago I heard from an acquaintance who lived with the Quechua people in Peru. She shared that in their language, the way they say “thank you” is to say “a little bird flies from my heart to yours.” …

A Note from Erin: I’m sending warm-heart greetings from the one cool room on my home’s main floor where I’m lying in my bed typing under the fan. It’s been a hot one.  Though I haven’t traveled much since the pandemic, we’re setting out soon to visit dear friends and family on the east coast…

A Note from Erin: I’m sending warm greetings to you from my breezy front porch, surrounded by the songs of finches, sparrows, doves, and many flowers in bloom, – just now monarda and scabiosa and sunflowers and mullein and more – somehow staying vibrant even in July’s heat. I confess, July is not my favorite…

Soulful Soup A recipe by Erin Geesaman Rabke You’ll need: Space in your heart-mind Several excellent questions and insights The heat of your affection Curiosity And unhurried time.

A note from Erin, November 13 2023 The Vast Heart  This morning during meditation there were many tears, including my own. I woke after troubled dreams of finding bodies, of searching for bread. I woke with heartache and confusion and a felt sense of helplessness and so much care it hurts. It’s our great good…

A note from Erin, October 20 2023 Embodied Presence, grown in stillness and movement, can be the river under the river of our lives, generously hydrating our deepest, wisest, and most vital selves through both challenging and beautiful times. Hello, beautiful human. Before I share about my new course, I want to send a little…

A note from Erin, October 6 2023 The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude…

Before you read on, I invite you to soften your eyes and the muscles around your jaw, to feel the ground underneath you, and to notice if there could be a little more space in your torso to receive that next inhale. I want to share a poem from Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer that Erin reminded…

Anything you do from the soulful self will help lighten the burdens of the world. Anything. You have no idea what the smallest word, the tiniest generosity can cause to be set in motion. Be outrageous in forgiving. Be dramatic in reconciling. Mistakes? Back up and make them as right as you can, then move…

“Grief and love are sisters, woven together from the beginning. Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not include loss, and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close.” -Francis Weller A note from Carl, August 8 2023 Like the land,…

“We are all one gesture from being the cruelty we have suffered or one kindness from helping each other heal in the open.” ~ Mark Nepo A note from Erin, July 5 2023: This morning, I’m sending linden blossom and elderflower scented greetings your way. I’ve been savoring the early morning hours in the garden,…

A note from Carl So much of what delights and troubles you Happens on a surface You take for ground. Your mind thinks your life alone, Your eyes consider air your nearest neighbor, Yet it seems that a little below your heart There houses in you an unknown self Who prefers the patterns of the…

A note from Erin: I’m honored and enlivened to invite you to this beautiful and powerful immersion in one of the most important practices in a human life. I’m infinitely grateful to my teachers who showed me what is possible. – What is it? – Maitri: A Courtship with The Essential Ingredient. The Essential Ingredient…

A note from Carl: As you read this, could you let your attention drop down to feel the sensations of your contact with the ground? Under your feet, under your pelvis, you are supported by this living Earth. Could you let yourself take in that felt sense of being supported? Is it possible, as you…

Limitation: A Generous Teacher When I was 14 years old back in the 1980s, I used to go to a bookstore at the mall with my girlfriend and we’d get all excited about discovering books on such far-out topics as shamanism, new-age philosophy, astrology, and anything remotely resembling an altered state of consciousness, as profoundly…

On Friday night I had the honor of opening the 14th season for the Jung Society of Utah with a talk called Half a Shade Braver (title inspired by a line from poet David Whyte.) As soon as I received the invitation to speak, inspiration started bubbling up and I wrote more than I could share in…

A note from Erin: Hello, beautiful human, A teacher of mine used to say “Increasing complexity requires deeper roots,” and wow, how about the complexity these days? It seems to me we need to tend our deep roots. To have a tap root down deep, burrowed into what really matters, tapped into our sane, soulful,…
