Stepping into Surrender with Michael Singer

Dear friends,

Earth Day 2023 will always hold a significant place in my heart. Just over two weeks ago, I had the privilege of walking with Michael Singer for three hours in the fields of Alachua, listening to the birds singing and his personal stories of how his life unfolded through surrender. For those of you who know Singer's story, you will understand why this was such a dream come true for me. Hearing the subtle nuances from him as we walked on the land and visited the places where it all unfolded was beyond words. I am deeply grateful for this time I was given.

Mickey is a deeply transformational teacher. His impact on me has shifted not only how I live my daily life, but also how I guide my clients and groups into deep healing process work. I discovered him over a decade ago and was drawn to his talks like a moth to a flame. The summer of 2015, I devoured his third book, The Surrender Experiment, and that's when the heart's alchemy became alive for me. I was able to heal the hole I felt I lived with in my heart from the loss of my mother at the age of 19. By implementing his teachings of relax and release, I was able to bring transmutation into the energy that I resisted, so what used to hold me back became what lifted me up. It felt like a miracle, and that was why I visited him twice that year. The fall of 2015 was when I began running process book groups on The Untethered Soul, which many of you have attended over the years.

Now, eight years later, my trip had no agenda. It felt like the right time to come back to the woods and soak in the brilliance of Mickey’s teachings, the community and see what life had to show me.

Mickey often reminds us that we are on a planet spinning in space, but this past visit I heard him take it beyond that reference point.
