Sending blessings and love to you this day – may your heart experience at least one moment of wide-open freedom today – may you breathe in possibility and breathe out hope.

Have you joined with over 200 240 monks and signed the Monk Manifesto (and downloaded the printable PDF version)? 

Did you sign up yet for the free e-course on becoming a Monk in the World?

If you live in Seattle and offer compassionate listening to others through spiritual direction, chaplaincy, counseling, or pastoring consider joining our newly added session of Soul Care for Compassionate Listeners (limited to 6 participants / only three spaces left).

Only two spaces left in the fall session of Way of the Monk, Path of the Artist is now FULL.
