We have found, both in examining our own lives and in assisting many people over the years, that there is a strong correlation between how we treat ourselves and others and our deeply held beliefs about God. Since she was a young child, Stacey has experienced God as love. And, people often tell me that [...]
A couple of years ago we raised a brood of chicks from eggs we tended in an incubator. We had never done this before and were excited to try. While the chicks were still growing in their shells, we did our best to mimic the warm and humid, natural conditions the eggs would have been [...]
We all love to tell our "beginning story" - how we met and fell in love... the accidental meeting, the blind date set up by friends, the platonic friendship that became something more, that moment when our eyes first met... For us, it was the joyful recognition of finally finding the spiritual playmate we'd each [...]
We're often asked how we maintain a high vibration in regards to politics. Many people struggle with staying positive when there is so much promotion of the negative. We understand the difficulty. Here in the USA the campaign for President is underway. Given the contenders, the media, and the stream of opinions on social media, [...]

Every morning for the past few weeks Jack has returned from our outdoor composting toilet with a copy of Miraculous Abundance under his arm and a smile on his face. Then, we sit together while he shares an inspiring gem he's just read. Jack is REALLY passionate about organic gardening, permaculture, and regenerative land use [...]
Back in 1999, Jack thought he was going crazy. He had recently moved to Alpha Farm, an intentional community in the mountains of Oregon, and was restoring the old 2-acre vegetable garden. As he worked, he heard voices, whispering directions to him for how best to care for the growing plants. Alarmed, he secretly sought the advice [...]
As we reflected upon this weeks Message from The Ancient Ones, Small Steps, we were reminded of the incremental changes we have made over the years to improve and maintain our health and well-being. We have come to realize that it's all about life-force energy. Life-force energy is what gives us health and vitality, and [...]
For the past few weeks, we have been sharing how we personally put into practice the practical, spiritual wisdom of The Ancient Ones. Sometimes we feel challenged, and sometimes we celebrate where we're at in our journey. This week, when we were meditating together about this weeks message, Miracle Workers, we reflected about how we [...]
