Lessons from Autumn for Personal Growth

October 11th, 2022

Autumn is the season of transformation, and with it there are many metaphors for you to reflect on in creating change in your life. Indigenous traditions from around the world all use metaphors of the earth in their rituals for connecting with the greater whole. This is often reflected in the use of the “medicine wheel” which lays out different elements, seasons, symbols etc. on the compass.

Ancestral Power and Halloween’s Origins

October 27th, 2015

This article explores the roots of Halloween, and how reverence for ancestors is a missing piece in modern culture that can catalyze huge transformation when you focus on it. Ancient Roots Halloween is the midpoint between the fall equinox and the winter solstice, thus one of the ceremonial times of many pagan traditions.

Dalai Lama in Boulder This Week

October 21st, 2015

Thousands of people were planning to see the Dalai Lama at CU Boulder today for his sold-out “Compassion in Action” teaching.

His teachings focus on Tibetan ethics of inter-religious harmony, interracial... Read More

This weekend, get a taste of Burning Man in Boulder without the dust. The equivalent of more than half of Boulder paid a small fortune to pilgrimage to the playa this week for the 29th annual Burning Man.   While that journey is a rites of passage that has changed many lives, Boulder can be a microcosm of that same transformational culture with way less fuss. Burning Man is much more than just a party in the desert.  It has become a cultural catalyst, a new paradigm of consciousness, and a global community with home-bases right here in the Front Range. The Burning Man philosophy is based... Read More
