It has been said that to live is to suffer. And no doubt, to live as a human on this earth is a challenge - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This certainly cannot be denied. But, The Voice of Scarcity too often speaks to us with lies and exaggerations about how there is not enough time, money, resources, love, etc for us to enjoy any happiness in this life. In order to survive, you must horde, steal, and scheme. Fear, suspect, envy, hate. To live is to suffer.

But what would it be like for us to listen to The Voice of Abundance? This Voice tells us that there really is enough and plenty to go around. Imagine how listening to that message would change the way we live our lives! Imagine how this message could change the world!

In our upcoming Kindred Journaling Workshop, Abundance of Joy, we will be listening to the Voice of Abundance and the voice of our own spirit for the Truth. We will walk away feeling inspired and empowered to tell a new story about what it is to TRULY LIVE.

Join me for a 90 minute workshop experience on Zoom on Saturday, August 31st at 10am Eastern. We will begin with a time of centering, then enjoy a slow reading of a poem followed by thoughtfully curated journal prompts. We will enjoy plenty of time to journal quietly together (playlist included) and will end with a time of optional but inspiring time of sharing and listening.

For those who register but aren’t able to make it live, a recording will be made available to you for 30 days.

You will need:

  • your journal + pens

  • a quiet place in your home

  • your favorite beverage and/or snacks

  • a computer with wifi access
