It may seem strange—even tone-deaf—to launch a spiritual workshop while the world is burning. And yet, there is nothing more essential.
Connecting with the force of love, in yourself and in the world
The Sacred Ache Workshop: Your Invitation to Reconnect with What Matters Most
Tomorrow, I’m inviting you to begin a six-week journey into the heart of what truly matters: The Sacred Ache: Reconnecting with Your Deep Self.
This workshop is for those who feel the ache of disconnection (and honestly, in today’s world, who doesn’t? It’s an open inquiry into the longing that all of us experience from time to time. The longing for something more—a sense of belonging, a deeper connection to love, and the steady pulsation of what it means to truly be alive.
We begin our exploration by listening.
What if the Sacred Ache could speak? What might it tell you?
As always, when I’m working on a workshop, life seems to offer me a living example of the work. And, as always, I don’t notice it right away.
This morning, it happened as I was reading the news. I sighed, Oh well, and felt my arms go limp, my shoulders sag. I set down my phone, overwhelmed by despair about the state of the world—out-of-control fires, a lying predator poised to take office again. A mixture of grief and anger washed through me.
I felt so tired, and it all seemed so pointless, so far out of my control. I just can’t care anymore, I thought, and a part of me went numb.
It was a small thing—a fleeting moment of retreat from engagement—but it rang through me like a bell. I felt that disconnection down to my toes, and in that moment, something rose up in protest.
No! I thought. I am not giving up my joy—not for this, not for anything.
In that noticing, the part of me that had gone numb came back online. The ache became not a weight, but a call. And in that quiet, subtle shift, a small, life-altering revolution took hold.
Two Things I Want You to Notice
This began with the ache—when I went numb to tune it out.
This transformed when I noticed.
This is the heart of The Sacred Ache Workshop: the moment when the pain of disconnection becomes the illumination of the soul’s true devotion.
The magic key is noticing. When we notice, we open the channel for choice.
Will I stay numb, or will I allow what is asking to rise within me—caring, concern, commitment—to rise? Will I reengage with the world, even when it isn’t the way I think it should be?
The Sacred Ache is not something to fix or root out. It is a guide, calling you back to love, to connection, and to yourself.
About the Workshop
The Sacred Ache: Reconnecting with Your Deep Self is a six-week, email-based journey into the ache: doing the tender work of listening to what it has to say — and meeting it not as a problem, but as a guide.
Each week, you’ll receive a thoughtfully crafted module filled with reflections, exercises, and meditations designed to help you connect with the pulsation of love that lives within.
This week’s module, You Are Welcome Here – The Ground of Belonging, will gently open the door to this work. Together, we’ll:
Reflect on what it means to feel welcome in your own presence.
Explore grounding exercises to anchor yourself in the present moment.
Meet the Sacred Ache through a recorded meditation, where you’ll listen to its wisdom and begin transforming your relationship with it.
