Discovering the sacred in turbulent times

Beyond Hallmark-card platitudes, what *is* the path to peace on earth and good will to all?

Welcome to “Grief, Grit & Grace”! Your support helps me continue creating content about how we midlife women can make the rest of our lives the best of our lives. If you feel inspired by what you find here, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

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.
