I have a proposal. 
I propose that you and I, each of us, select an up-coming week to be our personal Energy Leak Week

This is a week dedicated to closing up the incomplete, unresolved and unnoticed matters that suck on our vital essence.

We have only a basic amount of life energy that we can extend toward personal health, goals, spiritual growth and relationships. This energy is held in our cosmic vessel, replenished by nurturing activities, and expended by choice or by force into all the things, people, ideas and places we are connected to. Every THING and THOUGHT in our life requires energy from us to continue existing. With the constant, but not completely conscious nag of our physical belongings, to-dos and questions, we have difficulty TRULY resting the mind.
In turn, the body has more difficulty healing, and we grow farther apart from our goals.

My theory is that with some defragging, we could each reclaim some serious energy reserves and experience unforeseen physical healing if we SET ASIDE a concentrated amount of continuous time to deal with our crap.

One week. 
7 days. 
You cancel/reschedule your appointments, phone dates, classes, and normal errands. You tell your friends, "I'm not available this week. It's my Energy Leak Week." (Watch, you'll start a movement)

YOU CREATE THE CONTAINER FOR YOUR WORK.  Then dedicate your free week to sealing up as many energy leaks as you can!

Your Energy Leak Week might include (but is certainly not limited to):

Unfinished taxes/accounting
Your living will
Piles/stacks of papers
Closure conversations with peers, family or relationships that broke off poorly
Decisions about small or large issues
Selling unwanted items
Lawn/garden work
Research for an important topic
Forgiveness to ANYONE
Fix-it jobs around the house
Car repair
That letter you keep meaning to send
Legal duties
Animal care
Estate business
Finishing projects
Those articles you keep waiting to read



Your future sits in your right now.

Look out for upcoming emails on how to prepare for your special cleansing week, and how to sustain the good work after. In the meantime, contemplate what it might feel like to be lighter, freed from the WEIGHT of your "someday".

Upcoming Sacred Space Retreat
at the  Sienna Retreat House
July 29, 9am to 4pm

Please join us for a day set aside for personal renewal and creativity a s we work with ritual and sa cred space. These are important for daily life and for major life transitions!

This is a hands-on, retreat/workshop that includes the creation  of your own altar tile using raku-fire pottery techniques.  Each participant will select a pre-made 12 x12" ceramic tile to glaze and fire on site!   

We'll conv e ne a sharing circle to discuss our experiences and delve deeper into possibilities for simple ritual  and altar placement.

The raku firing process allows us to create a  finished object in a short period of time and is uniquely suited for this exercise as the elements of earth, air, fire and water are transformed into beautiful and useful objects.  We are the alchemists of our individual lives - let us celebrate and explo re this mystery together.

Facilitated by Gary Miller, "Cosmic Librarian" and potter, assisted by Emily Van Eman
