This talk is an excerpt from a winter virtual retreat I led last week with students and alums of my Women, Food & Forgiveness Academy.
Together we explored the question of how we un-conform ourselves to the world of illusory appearances and transform ourselves by the renewing of our minds.
Who do you—and I, and any of us—seek to become in this aeon of collective degeneration prophesied in Hindu cosmology as the Kali Yuga, the darkest hour that precedes the dawn of the new Golden Age?
The answer to such cosmic questions lie closer to home than you might imagine.
Dive in with me, and after listening, I’d love to hear about the thoughts you are thinking and the actions you are taking to anchor yourself to sanity amidst the maya of a world in turmoil.
Here’s what I talked about when:

1:45 The Kali Yuga: the last of a four-age cycle
4:44 The choices you make matter

7:12 Hospice the death of the old; midwife the birth of the new
8:15 The threefold commitment to yourself
8:41 Regarding the body as sacred
11:06 Every word you say matters
14:41 Penetrating the illusions of mind
15:56 Technology shabbat and the re-wilding of the soul

19:22 Be not conformed to this world
20:17 Discovering what is truly sacred in our lives
“The human race built most nobly when limitations were greatest, and therefore when most was required of the imagination to build at all. Limitations seem to have always been the best friends of architecture.” —Frank Lloyd Wright
