Hope is a sacred act of defiance in dark times.
There is so much pain right now.
People are hurting.
And many are scared...
of what's happening,
of what's coming,
of what might be lost.
And still
even here,
even now,
there is something in us that refuses to give up.
HOPE.
Not the kind of hope that bypasses reality or
pretends everything is ok.
But the kind of hope that looks directly at
the grief,
the violence,
the uncertainty,
and still chooses love.
Still chooses to show up with passion for justice
and compassion in our hearts.
Still believes that something beautiful is possible,
if we are brave enough to build it.
These darkening times are asking for our presence,
our broken open hearts.
our holy rage
and our hope, in action.
You see, hope is a practice.
It’s what we choose in the face of despair.
It lives in our willingness to keep creating,
to keep protecting each other,
to keep speaking truth,
to keep imagining a world rooted in justice, dignity, and care.
As we Rise Up....
and take a stand.
So, my friends,
stay close to your hearts.
Do not harden or turn away.
Do not become the angry child.
Let us rather become the fierce and tender leaders
this moment asks for.
Our souls and our future depend on it.
With Love,
Val*

Over this past year, we have had over 50 emerging leaders coming through our fully accredited Psychosynthesis Life Coach and Leadership Training at Psychospiritual Institute!
And we have another amazing cohort, who are about to start their 9-month journey on March 10!
What a gift to be their guide. 🙏🏻
I have watched profound transformations taking place within these beautiful soul-centered beings, who are now powerhouse coaches ready to support the healing and transformation of our world…in a time when we so desperately need guides who our capable, aware, and lead from the heart. 
They are true leaders.
They have deepened their confidence in who they are and their confidence in their ability to become a transformative presence for others.
They have developed incredible coaching skills, and they have learned powerful tools and techniques to support them for the rest of their lives in their own personal growth and in their ability to be a guide for others. And… in their ability to contribute to the greater evolutionary movement of our planet. 🌎✊🏼✨
The work we do together is a game changer for all of us.
What a blessing to be immersed in this process and to co-create with so many incredible beings, who are creating a ripple into the world with every life that they touch. They are making a huge impact simply by being themselves and sharing their gifts: authentic, powerful, and guided by the work they are meant to do in this world.
Honestly, I feel grateful every day to love the work that I do and do the work that I love.
🌟
If you are curious about the life-changing transpersonal work that we are doing, please take a moment and check out our website (link below) and if it calls to your heart, send me a DM and I’ll get back to you with more info.
Our next program begins in March 10, 2025. Are you ready to join us? 🙏🏻💖

I will stand for you.
I will stand for our world.
Regardless of the government and those who may be in “control.”
I will stand for you…and who you choose to love, and how you choose to express that love. I will fight for your right to love in a way that expresses the truth of your heart. 🏳️🌈
I will stand for you, regardless of the color of your skin. I will fight for equality and justice for all. ✊🏼✊🏾
I will stand with you, regardless of your gender. I will fight for your right to have the freedom to govern your own body. I will fight for your right to choose what you put in your body AND how you make difficult decisions regarding your own body. 🙌🏻
I will stand for your freedom to believe in a greater power in whatever way feels aligned for you. 🙏🏻
I will stand for you whether you are Jewish or Buddhist or Christian or atheist. I will stand for you if you celebrate Mother Earth. I will fight for your right to celebrate the divine in the way that feels right for you. We all have a right to find our own relationship to the Great Mystery, and you don’t have to believe the way I do.
Your spiritual beliefs are yours, just as mine are my own. And as long as they do not harm others or take away the rights of other people, I stand for your freedom to believe. 
No matter what happens in the government, I am here with you and for you.
If you are scared, you can come to me.
I don’t care how you voted.
I only care about your heart. I care about who we are as humans and this beautiful planet that we call home. 
💖
We live in a time of such confusion, and everybody thinks they have the answer. The energy in our world is creating more polarization and duality, more us and them, more dangerous bubbles of truth that feel compartmentalized….Where an elephant is a snake or a tree trunk, depending on where the blind man touches. 
So, I stand for the truth of our hearts… the things we value together: like compassion and kindness, the health of our children and our planet.
✨The power is in our hearts. ✨
It is not outside of us, it is inside of us. Who we are is how we show up day-to-day as we interact with each other.
We have the power, and no government can take that away, no matter what.
I will stand for you.
I will stand for our world.
🌎
Because the truth is, we are all in this together.
So let us come back to the breath. To this moment right here. To the choices that you get to make about how you show up in your life, for each other, and for our world. 
Will you stand with me?
From my heart,
Val*

A beautiful gift for us to experience and remember 🌱…
Breathing with the Forest – by Marshmallow Laser Feast
An immersive experience of shared breath with the Amazon rainforest.
06/27/2024
We mature as human beings through fully participating in and living the experiences we are given. We may not fully understand the situation in the moment; we may not fully like the circumstances we find ourselves in. However, as we learn to embrace each moment fully with curiosity for the lessons and gifts each experience has to offer and with an openness that allows it to shape us, we will discover ourselves again and again. We will deepen our awareness of who we are and realize the gifts we have within us to share with the world.
Fully living our lives in each moment, turning toward this HUMAN experience, is a spiritual path. In this way, we see the body, Earth and all beings, as sacred. Each challenge becomes an opportunity for growth; each so-called failure becomes a great teacher to inspire us to wisdom.
We do not attempt to run away or distract ourselves, we do not prematurely "transcend" or ignore our lives for the dream of what comes after, but rather we go inward into the holy fire, the dark descent into soul, and then rise like a Phoenix, transformed and expanded into our fullest potential.
We mature spiritually by living the fullness of our human experience...
With Love,
Val*

Take a breath.
Listen.
The wisdom is here.
✨
The sensations, the knowing.
It’s all right here, in the quiet.
We all talk about the silence and slowing down.
We know in our minds how important it is,
We feel the truth of that, and yet
We are all moving so fast.
Too fast.
Slow down.
Slow down into this moment and let yourself be in the process of arriving.
Savor. It. ALL.
Savor the grief AND the beauty of loving so deeply.
Savor the challenging moment that feels too hard to hold AND how it cracks you open to reveal more of who you are, your strengths, your values, your needs.
Tune in.
Listen to what you’re trying to tell yourself.
When the moments feel hard, it’s only because you’re not listening.
When you listen,
Deeply,
You hear the disruption in the pattern - your voice inside telling you that there’s a new way to be with this moment that feels more aligned with your heart.
Listen.
Ease into it.
Nothing can be other than it is, so be with the moment as it is.
Breathe.
🙏🏻

Are you ready for a paradigm shift?
I have a gift for you that will absolutely make a difference in your life.
🙌🏻
In the past few years, our world has experienced an unprecedented amount of loss, grief, and anxiety. Many of us have looked inward to realize that we need new ways of being in our lives and relationships, more expansive perspectives that deepen our interconnection with the world.
There is a desire emerging in many of us to reclaim our inner power and to embody wholehearted confidence in who we are, so we can live from our soul purpose and step more fully into our leadership potential. So we can make a meaningful difference in the world. So we can THRIVE.
Does this sound like you?
I want to support you, and share these powerful teachings that will inspire you deeply.
