      <image:title>Retreats - Day Retreat at Liminalia for The Elephants - Retreat for a day in a sacred place called Liminalia. Nestled in a cedar forest surrounded by creeks, we get to celebrate the budding energy of Spring rising towards expansive Summer. The natural world is the essence and makeup of who we are. This day long retreat will nurture you in such a wholistic way, as we make space for reconnection through the empowering practice of Qi Gong, cultivating energy through movement, sharing in nourishing food, gathering our voices together with mantra and song, meditation, and devoting time to compassionate action towards ourselves and the global community.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Liminalia is a threshold between contradictions:  a new house with an old soul, a place of solitude that comes alive with gatherings, a domestic haven that dances with the wild, and land that holds ecstatic pleasure and exquisite pain. Alchemical properties create the perfect container for releasing what no longer serves you, surrendering to your new self, a new story, and a new culture.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Retreats - PNW Winter Retreat at Liminalia - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Liminalia is a threshold between contradictions:  a new house with an old soul, a place of solitude that comes alive with gatherings, a domestic haven that dances with the wild, and land that holds ecstatic pleasure and exquisite pain. Alchemical properties create the perfect container for releasing what no longer serves you, surrendering to your new self, a new story, and a new culture.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I decided to put the Sweet Pea down. Then I decided not to. then I changed my mind and changed it back again. I asked her what she wanted, I tried to listen with my third eye. I pondered what it was like to be in her body living her days, what would I want? I don’t think I’ll ever be sure of what she wants, or what I want, but this is what it’s like:</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Her human mom was homeless. Died two weeks ago, homeless. The pup, an old pup, probably 13 or something like that, was left on the corner of Church st. and 53rd ave, homeless, with no one. Two weeks, and not sure if the car accident happened before or after her furever friend died, but the little mutt could barely walk when I approached. With two gashes on her front leg and unable to put weight on her front feet, head hung low, she barked, yet I could see clearly she was just calling out for help.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The neighbor told me her name was Sweet Pea, so we will continue to call her that, although I am sure she’d be happy with any name because I don’t think she can hear very well. The name fits. She smiles when I sit down beside her and loves a gentle tickle under the chin. She’s got a touch of rough coat whiskers on her wide pittie face. She is black with splashes of white, her hazel eyes glisten in the sunlight.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - MoMoLo and her Family take a Walk with the Humans. - We walked with MoMoLo and her two month old. A younger pregnant beauty named, Bautong, spends her days with them. She is considered the auntie. They both care for the little one. The baby nurses on both of them. We were walking in the clouds, soft rain floating in the air with elephants, with a baby elephant. She acted shy just like a toddler getting tangled up hiding in her moms legs.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Calibration - Waking in the dark morning, eyes half opened, I gaze into the shadowed light filtering in and across the wood slats and glass fixtures that hang from my ceiling. This soft light that is only found in quiet places resides in memories, such as my grandma’s house that lived amongst ancient oak trees, or of walking through dense stands of cedar and fir in the olympic rainforest. This soft subtle light is the voice of my soul always whispering to me, yet I often cannot hear. Today my ears are open.</image:title>

      <image:caption>We are committed to honoring the natural cycle of their lives with the intention of interfering as little as possible, yet providing them with everything they need. This sanctuary prioritizes the comfort of the animals and is also educational for the people. The volunteers who come get the chance to be compassion activists. Educational programs are focused on teaching compassion and respect for all sentient beings.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The goats slept in the mudroom in the back of the house on the cement and I don’t think it had ever been cleaned, so there was a whole lot of poop in there. It is often that human people acquire animal people as if they were products and really have no idea how to care for them. These two came to live at the sanctuary with Curdle, a Nigerian dwarf goat with horns who had just lost her best friend, Truffle to bloat. That was a rough experience for all, but mostly for Truffle. She was in so much pain. We had a vet come here to lessen the stress. We did what we could, but we ended up having to put her down</image:caption>

      <image:caption>She lived with us for about a year, but then QueenBee got very sick, very quickly and we had to free her from her struggle. It was a hard year losing those blessed creatures, yet many beautiful little beasts came into our lives as well. It is so very common for “pet” rabbits to be abandoned once they are no longer cute, tiny bunny rabbits. Rabbit Advocates is an amazing organization that fosters and finds homes for rabbits. BabyBoy was a rescue who we fostered and eventually adopted. He was such a Romeo and I fell in love with him.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Courses/Workshops - Lovingkindness Workshop - This will be held at Deep Waters Space in Portland</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lovingkindness is a state of being that arises when we put concerted effort into cultivating four qualities, which in the Buddhist tradition are called the Brahma-Viharas. They are Friendliness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. This work brings deep meaning to all of our relations beginning with ourselves and extending out from there.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Courses/Workshops - Lovingkindness Workshop - In this workshop we will discuss the concepts of lovingkindness as well as putting it into practice through meditation and mantra practice. There will be a writing component that will nurture our creativity and agency in living a life of lovingkindness.</image:title>
      <image:caption>By committing to this workshop you are devoting yourself to diminishing selfish motive while truly cultivating love and compassion for yourself which is the only way we can bring forth a world of harmony and respect for life. True happiness and a meaningful life come from generosity and service. This is the outcome of cultivating lovingkindness. This time will empower you to be an advocate, to live with integrity, and to handle the challenges of living with more ease.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Let us listen to the story that is cultivating presence and service to others, a story where we all communicate clearly and listen openly, where we have an always widening perspective by paying attention to the details.  May we return to the ritual and storytelling that is our duty as human beings. May we see the clues that are embedded in our daily lives that will show us the way. May we bring in the good luck and relinquish the bad. May it be so.  ~Underneath; Seeking the True Teacher</image:caption>

      <image:title>Invoke Course - 10. Pavamana Mantra - “What once was not, now is. The paradox is that all form arises out of silence, emptiness, that which is subtler than subtle. And arriving at yet another paradox, we then use that form to return to that infinite space within.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Animal Sanctuary - Caring at the sanctuary:: This is Moody. She was very sick (not sure what). We thought she was a goner, but we brought her in the house. She is living with the two indoor bunnies. She gets lots of snuggles, warm baths, she’s hand fed and drinking water from our hands. She literally asks to sit in your lap. She just might pull through. Chickens can be so darn sweet.</image:title>

      <image:title>Reflective Writing - We all seek to live a life of meaning, one of expansion and discovery with the clarity that introspection provides. In most cases, the finish line is undefined and the starting point unclear. Cultivating knowledge of self will indeed assist us in finding peace in a chaotic world. All the answers are within if we just pause to become acquainted with this intimate experience of living.</image:title>

      <image:title>Reflective Writing - For the next two weeks, I will offer you daily prompts to explore your inner self. Through writing and meditation you will reflect on your essence, your influences, and your environment. You will look back at your life’s journey, and embrace with gratitude what is yet to come. Trust that no answers are wrong, your experience will be unique and personal. This will be an opportunity to strengthen your roots and bring clarity to your knowledge of self.</image:title>

      <image:title>Invoke Course - The sessions circle around teachings that I have received over the course of 30 years of studying meditation and chanting. This is a contemplative course that will support your physical practice and daily activities and relationships.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I created this course in response to the community’s interest in diving into the deeper internal practices that will support your lived experience. I have gained much insight from working with these tools and teachings from the traditions of Yoga, buddhism, and vedic chanting.</image:caption>
