    Welcome to our community! If you are new, please take your time and look around. I am sure you will find some tasty morsels to munch on. If you are a return visitor, welcome back! We missed you.

    SoulFriends' dream is to be a world community of thinkers and practitioners within a paradigm of the transpersonal. Transpersonal can best be defined as those states of human consciousness, or processes, which include experiencing a deeper awareness of who we are and a better sense of connectedness with others, with nature and/or with spiritual dimensions. The richness of our soulcircle at SoulFriends includes philosophers, practitioners and educators in the fields of consciousness, psychology, spirituality, and religion, who help bring our awareness into greater alignment with something beyond ourselves. It includes change agents, transformational catalysts and intentional communities that guide us on our path toward wholeness and actualization. Most of all, it includes fellow travelers who share the story of our journey.

    Thank you for joining us on this journey! Namaste, Joy (and the SoulFriends Team)

    As a content provider, we at SoulFriends are very concerned about the current legislation in the US House and Senate. The bill, written, by the entertainment lobby, would give draconian authority to a select group of individuals.

    Transformation

    reposted from and able to view in entirety with photos at: www.newheavenonearth.wordpress.com Do you feel the breeze of transformation blowing in the wind? Do you feel the “new” pressing in? Do you feel slightly shaky as if the very ground under your feet is less solid? Do you feel you are perched on the edge of a great change? Do you have a...

    What's So Funny?

    On a recent trip to New York, I went to Laughing Lotus Yoga. The only thing funny about it was my attempt at a handstand. I chose that studio because the idea of laughter is inviting. Combined with a spiritual practice, I find it irresistible. There is a popular misconception that to be spiritual is to be somber. Not so. Personally, I embrace...

    Wasssup with Larry

    Wow! Time is flying by… as some of you know, I got a “package” from Motorola Solutions (not the part of Motorola that google acquired) in December. What does that mean… well in my case it means they are paying me for a few months where I don’t have to roll out of bed and onto a conference call at 6 am, don’t have to spend 4-10 hours a day on...

    Spiritual Ontologies

    While working as a Spiritual Coach, I made an interesting discovery… that an individual’s spiritual gifts are often tied to their dominant sense.


    According to science, we have five known senses: hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling and tasting. In humans, only the first three are normally dominant. Their NLP labels are: auditory, visual and kinesthetic. NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, has performed clinical research on sense-use by humans and the results are very interesting. (The technical term used by NLP to describe the dominant sense is “NLP Predicates”.)

    What do we mean by dominant sense? Our dominant sense... read more

    Altars for Your Spiritual and Life Journey

    As a Transformational Counselor/Ritualist, I support my clients in their spiritual goals. If appropriate for the clients’ goals, I ask them if they have an altar that may support them on their journey, and provide clarity in response to their questions and concerns. I've been struck that, more often than not, my clients will share that they do not have an altar. This has surprised me because most of my clients are transpersonally oriented, meaning thatthey have incorporated into their way of being, beliefs and practices which include... read more

    Julia Butterfly Hill: Living with Luna

    Making a Difference: One Woman, One Tree and One World

    for Common Ground Summer 2002

    by Virginia Lee

    Julia Butterfly Hill is one of those naturally charismatic people who life just happens to. A woman who is dedicated to living every moment of every day to its utmost fullest, she exudes a powerful energy, a passion for the truth that defied the Pacific Lumber Company until they recognized the error of their ways. Through her heroic efforts of living in a 200-foot redwood tree named Luna for 738 days, this majestic old-growth redwood and the forest around it was saved.

    Her story is one reminiscent of David and Goliath out of the Bible, and well documented in her mesmerizing autobiography The Legacy of Luna (2000, Harper San Francisco). On the heels of this national bestseller, Julia has written a new book One Makes the Difference, which was just released by Harper in Spring 2002. In these pages, she steps beyond her personal story, reminding us that we are all capable of greatness, we are all capable of acts of heroism for the love of the Earth. We are all players on the same team, and the prize is survival itself.

    Refreshingly honest, straightforward and articulate, a conversation with Julia is as engaging—and challenging—as her life in a tree must have been. Whether speaking by call phone from a platform 180 feet above the ground in Luna or on her way to catch a plane at Dulles airport, the message is the same: Love the Earth, Live in the Moment, Have the Courage to be Your Higher Self. She makes it seems so simple. And it is. And at 28, her    ... read more
