Opening to Grief: Claire Willis
Grief and love are richly intertwined. Because we love, we grieve. And when we fully feel our sorrow, we open to loving ourselves and other beings more deeply. All of us experience loss. Some of us have lost a spouse, or a child, our parents, a beloved pet, a dear friend, or neighbor. In the pandemic, we have lost hundreds of thousands of lives in the United States and around the world. Many of us have lost our livelihoods. All of us have lost our familiar daily routines and textures of work, family, and community. And the losses are not over. Grieve fully, turn toward your emotions and experiences however they arise, and follow your own path toward healing.
Claire B. Willis is a clinical social worker who has worked in the fields of oncology and bereavement for more than 20 years.

Chakra Healing: Glen Park
Chakras can be understood as an embodied map of the psyche, with each chakra representing a different stage of development from infancy and childhood through adulthood, with the Heart Chakra playing a central role in awakening the spiritual potential of the upper chakras. She examines each chakra individually on the physical, psychological, psychic, and spiritual level, as well as through the lens of the solar (masculine) and lunar (feminine) channels. She shows how the connections between the chakras and developmental stages are paralleled in the findings of Western psychology and neuroscience and how our collective expressions of the chakras influence cultural trends in society.
Glen Park is a healer, teacher, author, workshop leader and trainer, with over thirty years’ experience in the Alexander Technique and Chakra Healing Therapy. She has given talks and run workshops in Europe, USA and Canada, Australia and Japan, working with the general public, and with specialist groups such as actors and drama students, therapists and other body practitioners. In her latest book ‘Chakra Healing Therapy; Awaken Spiritual Energies and Heal Emotional Wounds’ she explores the chakras in depth, as an embodied map of the psyche, drawing parallels between Eastern wisdom and modern Western research.

Christian, Buddhist, and Muslim: Steve Kanji Ruhl
Let's compare the lives and teachings of three of the world's most admired spiritual masters: Francis of Assisi, the Christian saint; Dogen, the great Zen Buddhist teacher; and Rumi, the Islamic Sufi master. They lived during the same turbulent century. They integrated mystical experiences of the sacred into their lives, and they can inspire us to do the same. An interfaith approach to spiritual exploration, one that links Christian, Buddhist, and Islamic mystical teachings within a vibrant historical context and shows how they not only complement each other but remain profoundly relevant in the twenty-first century. Our conversation interweaves the spiritual lives of these Christian, Buddhist, and Muslim teachers.
Reverend Steve Kanji Ruhl, M.Div., is an innovative Zen Buddhist minister ordained in the Zen Peacemaker Order by Roshi Bernie Glassman, and is also a lay Zen dharma holder and preceptor authorized by Roshi Eve Myonen Marko.

Bride of the Buddha: Barbara McHugh
Imagine... the story of Yasodhara, the abandoned wife of the Buddha. Facing society’s challenges, she transforms her rage into devotion to the path of liberation.

"This engrossing exploration of gender dynamics, identity, and the spiritual quest for meaning will appeal to Buddhists and general readers alike." —Publishers Weekly “This is an impressive tapestry of history, spiritual philosophy, and literary drama and an edifying look at the patriarchal limitations of Buddhism’s genesis…An intelligently conceived and artistically executed reconsideration of religious history.” —Kirkus Reviews “Bride of the Buddha is an immersive novel about the founding of Buddhism, told in the voice of a woman who would not be excluded from the spiritual quest, nor from the presence of the man whom she loved.” —ForeWord Magazine
Barbara McHugh is a published poet and novelist. She has an M.A. in English Literature from N.Y.U. and a Ph.D. in Religion and Literature from the University of California at Berkeley and the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley.

Return of Planet Sedna: Jennifer Gehl
The Story of Sedna mythologically, astrologically, and astronomincally is the story of Earth and all her beings remembering who they are–beings of the infinite cosmos and consciousness. Her frequency is like the anomolous wave pattern of a soliton that stands alone yet like the tsunami carries great impact. Her emotional instinct is fear, yet she shows the way to overcoming fearful responses by surrendering to changes that inevitably unfold. The cosmic codes lying dormant in our DNA are awakening, and as they do they are activating the inner alchemy and divine marriage of solar and lunar, masculine and feminine, giving birth to the innocent child and the path of the heart.
Jennifer Gehl is the author of The Return of Planet Sedna: Astrology, Healing, and the Awakening of Cosmic Kundalini, and The Science of Planetary Signatures in Medicine: Restoring the Cosmic Foundations of Healing, with Marc S. Micozzi, MD. She provides astrology consultations and customized recordings that turn astrology into a sound healing experience. www.soundworksbygehl.com
