Our greatest asset and largest stumbling block is our ability to make meaning out of our experiences of the world. Which includes the stories/gossip/urban legends we hear, the infotainment we gather from TV, the myths and stories we get through movies, and all of the information/memes/propaganda/news we get from the internet in various forms. It’s…
DetailsWhen I and my family started working with our Native elders, I had a slight advantage in that I was an American Sign Language interpreter. Language is not a separate thing from culture. Both are intricately entwined with each other so lose one, you lose the other. Conversely, have one, have the other. Which means…
DetailsRelationships are about so many things, but one very important component is communication. It’s about shared experience, whether that is in doing something together, or in relating something you’ve done do someone who cares and ‘gets it’ or just ‘gets’ you. We are social beings and a part of a healthy life is being connected…
DetailsTimes they are a changin’, as Bob Dylan would say. How humans live and interact with each other is changing. It’s noticeable because it doesn’t happen in a really slow progression, if you’ll look back at history. It comes in something like waves.

DetailsEveryone has a best life. Everyone has a path to follow that makes the best sense for them. The thing is, we think of it like some paved walking path in a park or a road with clear lines and road signs which guides us along. And that’s not always the case. Sometimes the path…
DetailsWorking in the Akashics is somewhat like doing dream interpretation. In both dreams and interactions with the Akashics all communication or meaning is symbolic. Which could mean that the message is complex, is simple, is ironic, is in your face, is subtle and everything in between. The key to understanding and getting the meaning from…
DetailsOne of the themes that shows up in the chat board posts for my classes is “My animal guide is a (leopard/panther/lion/cheetah) which is really surprising to me because [fill in personal reason here].” Next to pets either living or no longer with us this is the most common animal guide to have in my…
DetailsWhen people work in the Akashics, either through my classes or through other means, one thing that is a constant is the communication that comes in the form of form.
