Ownership of Mind: An invitation to explore together in conversation
In my life, I have created external circumstances such that I am now no longer working full time and instead I am home with my little guy. What a journey!
My son is my most massive invitation to give a shit about what I see unfolding "out there". If he were not born, maybe I would have introverted my way through life...watching the shitshow unfold and keep my truth inside of me instead of share it.
But...that's not my reality. I have a son. I have nieces and nephews. And I am interested in a conversation beyond fear, beyond strategies of going back to some idealized version of "normal". I am interested in conversations that expand consciousness and my ability to live FREE, resourceful and resilient in the face of whatever "reality" presents "out there".
I have been increasingly more uncomfortable with the trajectory of governance in this country and worldwide. I have written about that here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. As you can see, I've a bit to say about this. And if you visit Louise LeBrun's blog, she has some pretty darn important stuff to say about it also.
In my desire to create a more conscious, enlivened world, there is a fire in me that is insatiable. She burns, because she knows, this is the time for Self-discovery, introspection and integration. This is the time we take sacred responsibility over our own lives, over our own minds.
About the experience
As my friend Louise LeBrun says, we can't evolve alone in the closet. Nor do I want to...
So, after listening to this fantabulous conversation between Louise LeBrun and Dean Walker, I decided to give in to my craving for a deeper, more meaningful exploration around the topics these two delve into. I'm looking for the deep dive... and I'd like you to join me.
Listening to this conversation is a requirement of the experience. Once you do that, you can decide if it is something you'd like to delve into deeper with me and a small number of other women & nonbinary folk worldwide.
My belief about it all is that we have moved past the era of knowledge and information and are living in the era of post-truth, massformation, and the noble lie. This means there is no access to a verifiable truth "out there" because it is all fabricated and controlled with whomever has the money and power to do so.
Nothing new here, but now it is happening in the political climate of global authoritarianism...where two tier societies are being normalized (yet again), "the unvaccinated" are freely discriminated against, and our collective rights are systematically being stripped without rhyme or reason.
This conversation is for you...
If you have noticed something feels "wrong" with what's going on and you want a safe space to exhale the truth of your experience, judgment-free.
If you have noticed the contradictory nature of the messages "out there" and you want a safe, supportive space to express that.
If you are looking for a powerful conversation that defies the conventional.
If you have noticed that everything "out there" feels constricting and diminishing and you are looking to expand your capacity for resourcefulness and resilience in community.
What I'd like to explore...
- What is "mind"?
- Who owns our "mind"?
- What is "reality"?
- How is "reality" socially constructed?
- What does it mean to live in the era of "post-truth", "massformation" and "the noble lie"?
- How does this change the way we raise our children?
- How do we stay resourceful and resilient in the face of increasing institutional control and bullying?
- How do we tap into the internal cues that allow us to be resourceful and resilient, no matter what's unfolding outside of us?
- How do we live with integrity in a world so committed to compliance (or else)?
*Who must we choose to become in order to face the moment we are in, head on?*
This is for women and non-binary folk interested in explorations with people who know their truth, know their mind belongs to them, and know they want that freedom for the future of their children and grandchildren.
If you are interested in delving into this conversation with me, please message me so I can add you to the list.
The investment: Your full, authentic, Presence.
Date: Tuesday December 21 at 5:00 PM (EST)
I will send the Zoom link to those who choose to participate.
I'd appreciate it if you forwarded this to any woman you believe may be interested in this conversation! If she is indeed interested, she'd appreciate it also...
It's in our willingness to share and be vulnerable that we evolve...
Thank you all, and I wish you all a quiet, joy-full December!

I encourage you to listen to this podcast if these topics are of any interest to you, even if you are not called to participate in the conversation I am hosting. It is surely the kind of conversation you would not hear many places nowdays. It is empowering and it is essential in the evolution of consciousness.
