Enchanted Forests

“If it were true that life experience automatically translates into wisdom, then we would be the wise-est people the world has ever seen. I look around and I see the most juvenile, untutored and deeply self-indulgent cultures that the world has ever seen.”

Prolific visionary and author, Stephen Jenkinson provokes insight into the darkness of the present reality where fulfilling our desires, prolonging life, and endless personal growth contribute to a despair and thirst that can only be quelled by the wisdom that comes from acknowledging and coming to terms with death, the limits of our natural world, and the deep fulfillment that comes from using our lives in service of the future generations who inherit the world we leave behind.

The Case for Elderhood

“I’ll lie down with any God that will have me.”
Mirabai Starr speaks about the inter-spritual path and mystical love and what it means to be polyamourous and radically monogamous when it comes to a relationship the Sacred. This intimate relationship with the Sacred produces an elixir gives us the energy and abundance from which to serve the world- to feed, to soothe, to heal and to act with compassion. This is the path of the Bodhisattva- deeply devoted to the mystical and ready to serve the world and all beings.
