These are transitional times, and we were built for times like this!

Change is the one thing we can always count on, everything changes with time.  We happen to be living in a time of massive transition - at the personal, familial, cultural, regional, and even global levels.  Can you feel it?

On a personal level, we were built for times like this.  We have the inner strength and courage to handle anything that gets thrown our way, whether we realize it or not.  Even in the most extreme cases, as long as we have breath and hope, we can rise from the ashes of the worst situations to become better and stronger than before.  Intentional Legacies was also built for times like this, to be a "port in the storm" so to speak to give you a safe and dependable place to turn during times of transition and uncertainty.  We're going through changes as well and I'm writing today about a few of those changes.

First, I'm very excited about Conscious Rites - our new joint collaboration with New Myth Works to bring rites of passage services to our community.  These services are really important in times of life transition and I personally think it's about time we bring them back on a cultural level.  Check out what we're doing at www.consciousrites.org, and if you'd like to work with us on something in your life please let us know how we can help.

Second, our Rising Phoenix Awards team has grown considerably moving into 2015 and we're actively working on the program for release in the next couple months.  The 2014 awards were awesome - congratulations to everyone that was nominated and especially the award winners.  Please stay tuned at http://risingphoenixawards.org for information on the 2015 awards program and start thinking about who in your life has been positively inspirational through difficult life transitions that you'd like to nominate this year.

Finally, it's with mixed feelings that we're going to shift our focus away from proactively offering life transition workshops on a regular basis.  The workshops are really good and I'm proud of how we've affected those that shared the time and energy with us, but we're going to only offer them "on request" moving forward to allow us to focus on growth in other areas.  For a list of available workshops check out http://peacefulcrossings.com/upcoming-life-transition-zone-events.html, and if you on a personal or organizational level would like to schedule a workshop please drop us a note at [email protected] and we'll set something up together.

Are you feeling the shift?  Are you working through multiple transitions, all at the same time, like a lot of us?  If you'd like to share a brief transitional story please feel free to reply to this blog.

We were built for times like these, and we're all in this together!

Namaste,

Cal

Yep, things were probably a lot simpler then - though maybe not easier. Today's world is full of noise, smartphones, social media, self-absorbed people, etc etc. For me and for most of us escaping isn't really much of an option, but figuring out how to simplify our lives as much as possible so we can find peace and joy is an option. I'm working on it - probably always will be - and I'm happy to share what I've learned in any way I can be of service. Namaste.

Me too, through your post I've realized how good it could have been if I was born during middle ages. We had this lesson in Science, Technology and Society and that's where I first appreciated the beauty of middle age way of living. I'm sure my fellow readers felt the same way too!

Hi and thanks for replying. I haven't quite figured out how to go back or forward in time yet but if I figure it out I'll be sure to let you all know!

Me I think I'd just go back a few hundred years and live in the time before the Europeans came to what is now the United States. There were some really beautiful, natural things about the way the native Americans seemed to have lived that I think I'd have felt right at home in.

Be well,

Cal

Hi,

Thanks for the response. It seems you aren't alone in that feeling ... I hear similar things quite a bit. For many I think the best answer is simplify, simplify, simplify. Best to you!

Cal
