Retreat TONIGHT: Simplify Your Life from the Inside-Out

Posted on March 14, 2023 by Meisaan Chan

I am leading the following retreat TONIGHT – see you there.

March Retreat: Simplify Your Life from the Inside-Out

March 14, 7-8:30pm CT

Want to declutter and clarify your inner world? We will use a 500-year old spiritual exercise to do exactly that. Then, we’ll delve into how this clarity revolutionizes your outer world, including:

⁎ Why and how to say “no”;
⁎ Draw boundaries;
⁎ Deepen into our wholeness in a broken world;
⁎ Align our actions to our spirit’s deepest yearning.

You’ll have private time to reflect or journal, and we’ll process as a group to gain insights and collective wisdom. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to simplify and transform your inner and outer world.

I’m giving mini-retreats every month: Ongoing care for your ongoing life. With my tender, strong facilitation. For you.

Come on over! Equity rates, deep soul care.

Learn more and Join us here.

see you tonight! – mc

The comfort of death

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Meisaan Chan

Death is just fine for me, says the earth
so don’t be afraid to die
gateway to transformation
to becoming fertile dirt:
Fear not the process of fertility

Excuse me

Posted on August 24, 2022 by Meisaan Chan

Excuse me, but God just told me to praise,
so pardon me while the praise wheel inside me spins and whirs;
Do not worry. I am still here.
I am more here than ever
