Areas of Focus
Spirit – identifying, exploring, affirming, deepening, evolving, and/or transforming what inspires us, gives us meaning, and connects us to ‘beyond’ or ‘more’ than our local selves
Purpose – responding to life’s calling(s); facing challenges; gathering resources; drawing upon personal and shared values; courageously cultivating an evolving identity and sense of meaning throughout the aging process; and collaborating with love and compassion to make a positive difference in the world
Community – sharing what we’ve learned – our wisdom, skills, and resources; building on collective values; and embodying dreams and visions, as we evolve into Global Citizens, Universal/Future Humans, and Social Artists, who are co-creating a Wisdom Society that nurtures community(ies), supports collective empowerment, and calls forth the Anima Mundi
Background
Having been raised a Vatican II Catholic with a strong mystical and social justice foundation, I was particularly drawn to cross-cultural core shamanism, which also embodies those mystical and ‘greater common good’ perspectives, particularly when partnering with Compassionate Spirits to help individuals, groups, organizations, and communities in their healing process. As a result, a mystical worldview of interconnectedness permeates and guides all aspects of WBA work and all sections in this website.
