Creating Miracles (Friday, March 3)


“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being a force of nature.” – George Bernard Shaw

Our capacity for creation isn’t limited to what we can predict, control, and through hard work alone. We have the capacity to create miracles. In fact, they’re attempting to happen all the time... if it weren’t for us getting in their way.

Join me for an advanced day-long, in-person workshop on Creating Miracles. This experience, both spiritual and practical, will explore a ‘formula for creating miracles’ where your solid ground, your authentic desire, your inner knowing, and your engagement with the world all come together.

Here are some of the topics we'll be playing with:

  • When you see reality differently, reality changes
  • Seeing the capacity for miracles all around you, independent of circumstances
  • Learning to trust and your inner guidance, while demoting your inner critic
  • Embracing the unknown and unexpected, where new opportunities arise
  • How your desires can either fuel or frustrate the creation of miracles
  • Avoiding common traps including both 'being realistic' and magical thinking
  • Getting real, getting embodied, and getting messy while staying in action

When: Friday, March 3, 10am - 5pm

Where: Oakland CA (location TBD)

My simple intention for this day together is to change the course of your entire life.

In many ways I have a dream life: I’m healthy, I have a thriving coaching practice, I continue to learn and grow and have agency over my time and attention, and have many dear friends amongst many conscious, loving communities. I’ve radically transformed many lives, both directly and exponentially through my clients. My life is in some ways masterful, and suspiciously comfortable — and I also know that...

A while ago I was called in for conflict resolution between two parties. They were both loving and idiosyncratic powerhouses, really owning their own style and way of being in the world. And one was really angry with the other, who was really confused about what was wrong. Before agreeing to work with them, I set a context for the conversation: that there would be no attempt allowed to change the other person. The one intention of the conversation was to understand more clearly and thoroughly...

I work with a lot of founders and entrepreneurs, and almost all of them claim to have a problem with being overwhelmed. But the problem behind the problem is that they don’t understand what overwhelm really is, which is why it spirals out of control. The trap is confusing two separate things: overwhelm and overload. Overwhelm is a feeling. It’s the internal experience of the mind spinning, of trying to juggle and solve many thoughts all at once and all of it feels incredibly urgent and...
