These collaborative talks are for you, the listener, the explorer, and the contributor of ideas. Together we’ll discover far off destinations, wondrous ideas full of possibility, and together understand and appreciate this wondrous world full of potential, especially when it seems confusing.
You close your eyes, and in your minds eye you arrive in a forest, above light streams through a canopy of leaves, a sound of a waterfall fills the space and before you is a footpath, and your adventure awaits.
We begin each talk at 5:30, until 7:30. It starts with an idea, a guided meditation and an invitation as we open the talk to explore the deeper meanings gleaned from what has been shared.
Are you the arrow on the ground that points to your destination, or the one in flight?
I look forward to joining us, your thoughts are important. Please book with Nourish The Soul directly.

WHEN SHE BLENDS WITH HIM
How the Divine Feminine Blends Within the Masculine Form.
She is the Primal Void, an infinite expression of the Divine Feminine and full of potential. Without her, the Initiating Spark, the Divine Masculine is nothing. He exists, because she exists. As they come together, a sacred dance that has existed for millennia begins and it is happening right now in all the cells that make up our bodies. She is not passive but profoundly receptive, and capable of holding infinite potential. Make no mistake, she, the keeper of the relationship, guides him. He is in his Divine form, strong enough to listen.
What is the Tree of Life and Why is it Important?
At the very core of this teaching is a life affirming message, What is this world around me? Who am I? And how do those two answers relate to a Spiritual connection? A First Nations Elder and I were having a deep philosophical conversation about the difference between Spirituality and Religion. He said “Religion is for those afraid of going to hell, Spirituality is for those who have been through hell. The Tree of Life helps us to understand both viewpoints. It helps understand the relationship between form and formlessness. And while not religious, its message can be found in all religions.

The Forest, The Fortress and the Archers.
While walking a forest path, the trees and plants give way to a large open field. In that field is a large castle. Atop the ramparts are archers and they look menacingly at you. Then you see the moat, the drawbridge and guards posted everywhere. What needs so much defending, you wonder? Who are they defending themselves from? As you walk towards this grand fortification, the archers ready themselves for your arrival. Is it me, you wonder? Are they defending themselves from me?
Understanding Om Mani Padme Hum,
We see this everywhere, but what does it really mean? Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, shared this special chant to help all humans find meaning within existence. WithIn these four words, Spirit, Form, Life, and Unity we learn to blend harmoniously together, ensuring that peace ensues. We may understand them, but do we know them? Let’s explore the deeper meaning and insights they offer and let’s transmute Um (question) into Om (peace).
The Accountant and the Angel
In a small town, an accountant steps out of the office, takes a deep breath and decides they need to clear their mind. Walking into the woods and into an open field, looks up and sees what looks like an angel floating in the sky. Being in it’s presence feels good, and the more the angel is observed, the more the accountant wants to be that peace.
Why Prayers and Mantras Work
Consider all the thoughts you have on any given day. Now, notice how many are reacting to stories you believe or others tell. Notice how much time you invest into what you believe is occurring. We are not who we think we are, but we are what we think. Do those problematic thoughts really convey the true you, or, is there something deeper and more loving inside? Prayers and Mantras are about uniting us with those loving thoughts and refocusing the mind to better handle uncomfortable moments in life. They also redirect the energy you are pouring into one reality, into a more supportive one, if only for a few minutes a day. Those moments will feel like a relief, because we are moving towards something, rather than running away.
Astrology, Why It Is Misunderstood
Consider humans many thousands of years ago, watching the sky. The sun rises, the sun sets. It also moves across the horizon as it does so. Soon they realise that when it rises over there, it is a good time to plant, and when it gets there, will be a good time to harvest. Astrology, in its purest form is less about forecasting, and more about being aware of when is a good time to sow and reap. It is about developing a relationship with the shifting tides as the moon transits across the sky. It is about noticing how your free will decides what you will do at those times.
The Arrow’s Journey
Walking through a field, you come across an arrow and bow lying on the ground. Beside them is a piece of wood, you assume is a place to stand. Curiosity gets the better of you, you pick up the arrow and bow, stand at the board and see a far off target on the horizon line. Having never done this before, you wonder what it would take to get a bullseye?
Why Singing Bowls Help
Imagine having a companion who is willing to help you understand yourself. They reflect every subtle part about you and what you are experiencing in this moment, with this thought and how you see yourself. All the while, softening your emotions and settling an active mind, so clarity can be realised. Oh, and they sound wonderful too!
The Philosophy Behind Spirituality
One morning, you are lying in bed and before putting your feet on the floor, a thought comes, and it’s a good one. It says “What is this human experience, how am I meant to live it and why do I believe it is important?” Then your feet find the floor, you stand up and begin to live another day, while you look for good answers to those questions.
In Search of Meaning
Every visionary, leader, and light worker is following a path. How they exist on it speaks to who they are and what they are capable of. Why? Because they are witnessing who they are in what they are doing. Most importantly, they are just like us, because even though they seem to know where they are going, they are seeking meaning in the experience, just like us.
