Support for healthcare workers and their families.
Offerings
This is a unique moment in time that is especially rich with possibilities to better our personal and communal lives. In this rapidly changing and complex world, mystical practices can widen our perspective, lighten our load, and soothe our hearts. The mind is then free to soar, envision, and create for the benefit of all. These practices can help deepen our sense of purpose and vision, redefine our priorities, and teach us how to access a deep unwavering joy in the midst of challenges and difficulties. This is the space in which profound healing can occur and the experience of love and intimacy thrive. Susan would especially like to offer her knowledge and experience to help alleviate the emotional toll on members of the medical community.
Virtual Dialogues
Susan will support you in unveiling the mysterious power and beauty of this moment through body-centered meditation, shared inquiry, and by welcoming together all that arises. One on one sessions, for physicians and their families, free of charge.
Daily Meditation
Each Saturday and Sunday, a virtual community joins together to sit in silence. Susan hosts these meditations on Zoom from 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM PST.
Resources
Over the years Susan has had the privilege to study with amazing teachers many of whom are still teaching. Susan would like to share with you the many resources available to you.
THE TURNING, a poem
My sweet darlings,
however did you stay afloat for so long
and never suspect you were
built to breathe underwater?
Why did you never toss thoughts
around in three dimensions,
never loose them like dragonflies
into the deep sky?
How could you fear falling?
Didn’t you see the spiders
stringing safety nets
across the earth every day, just in case?
Instead, you tore at this world, and I watched.
I felt the air’s grim thickening, saw the waters rise.
You were huddled at the precipice—at the very brink,
my loves—and still bellowing for more.
What crucial inspiration turned you at the last?
I’ll never know what broke over you,
and with what calamity, clamor
or grace—
but when you knelt, as one, it was a mighty sight.
You placed your hunger on the ground
and left it to lie among the gadgetry of old logics,
beside the corpses of cruelty and greed.
You were exquisite to me then, long-legged and bright-eyed,
built of gravel and stardust; oh,
my sweet, funny loves. My unfurling galaxy, my
pebble-scatter of promises.
And so we came to the age of the great unbuilding,
where everyone’s name is stillness.
Here, day gathers you into the deep magic of play.
Here, night powders you with the ancient magic of rest.
It’s a time of dragonflies.
So be soft in your hearts, dear hearts,
for we are all cast shining and short-lived into the sky—
And allow your face to take the shape of wonder
when your children ask again to hear the tale
of the time you almost broke the world.
