Winter season’s theme is humanitarian unity. No matter our calling or contrasting realities, the unprecedented nature of life calls us into fuller expression of who we are as we dig in and get serious about our personal and collective quality of life.

As winter progresses and life’s waves of change get bigger and more sudden, the invitation is to open to what is moving and coming alive in us. This sets us in coherence to offer our presence to others who are on challenging thresholds. Our integrity and unique artistry will increase this season as we risk opening to palpable surges of change.

Life in its paradoxical contrast is creatively renewing. Eruptions of old strategies continue alongside rapidly expanding consciousness. In the heat of it all, the heart has room for every movement of life. Actually, the heart’s spacious landscape already holds the paradox and fullness of life. The questions are: Can you open to a compassionately present experience of this? Can you come in close to life’s awakening emergence rather than avoiding the unknown?

Remarkably swift change provides opportunities to face into life here and now, no matter how it is. As your inner chambers open, risk those tired habitual ways and stay attuned in this moment as life evolves. If your heart is aching in sorrow, lean into this portal of tenderness where deepest compassion is waiting to come alive. If anxiety spins you in turmoil, let life’s fire be a gateway to deepest integration and truth. If you rage at inequality, come close in to its ancient nub where peace beyond words awaits you. Turn towards the pulsing heart of somatic change that is lovingly laying down new grooves in your sweet nervous system.

The responsibility in these times rests in where you place your attention — not away from what is uncomfortable, not into manipulation to control, rather, turning attention inside this moment’s vast space and holy burn that connects you with all beings everywhere. In this coherence, discomfort can powerfully shift from second-hand thoughts of how you think life should be into newly born, humbling realizations of the preciousness of all life. In this, you surge more awake, more alive, more authentically engaged in life, naturally.

Winter invites bringing attention home to your true aliveness and daring to stay kindly embodied to each blessed moment of your humanness. Be like your heart and become an instrument of aliveness. Pulse with presence. Receive life in this moment and pour out strong.

This winter of exceptional opportunities for expansion roots in coherence. So dare to fully drench in the creativity of each now new moment and open to this now new-ing world. We can meet each other Here.

Happy holidays everyone!
