Re-Weave Community: Invest in Connectivity, Creativity and Collaboration

Spirit of Authentic Presence In Leadership And Life by Jackie Lowe Stevenson, CEO, The Spirit of Leadership LLC

Jackie introduces us to the value of ecological environment, our relationship to ourselves, to others, and to nature.

Working through the spirit of the horse, an ancient willing and courageous animal, we learn lessons in survival that when practiced, return to us our most authentic selves and meaningful life.

Jackie teaches us the practice of “The Hoof And Heart Wide Web”, one we can access at any time to connect to deep gratitude, loving warmth and spiritual energy.

Our story explores the “Five Pathways To Authentic Presence” an appreciative perspective based in holistic sensibilities rooted in natural systems that stretch from the beginning of time to the ends of the galaxies.

Spirit of Authentic Presence In Leadership And Life

Welcome to Abundant World Day “Spirit of Authentic Presence” led by Jackie Lowe Stevenson, CEO of The Spirit of Leadership.

Focus: To tap into your personal abundance and the abundance of the natural world around us.
​
Purpose: To connect to your authentic self, which is where abundance lives, and connect to a larger world of people, families, and cultures.

Our journey begins on ancient grounds adjacent to Lake Erie, one of our planet’s great freshwater lakes. 

Pebble ledges left by receding glaciers, traveled by indigenous tribes and foraged by roaming herds, this land is a sacred gateway to nature’s aliveness.

Connect to the freedom that resides deep within your heart of entrepreneurial resilience.
