Each week, we gather here to examine the stories we tell ourselves, the discomforts we try to ignore, and the transformations that become possible when we finally pay attention. Some conversations are gentle, others more challenging—but all are grounded in the belief that our difficulties, like well-placed pebbles, can lead us to deeper understanding.
You'll find new posts every Wednesday. Feel free to join the conversation in the comments—this community grows richer with every voice that joins in.

Thank you. I was just reading about AMOR FATI and a 2015 blog by Alan Bridges that was all about seeing the gift in what happens that alters what you thought would be... Have to run out but I hope to have a look around soon!
