I'm writing to you still glowing from the incredible energy of our Vision Reset Weekend. People gathered from Texas, Hawaii, California, Canada, New York, Connecticut, Boston, Georgia, and beyond—both in person and online—to do the essential work of grounding ourselves in new territory.
Because that's where we are: new territory.
Think of it like living at the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment—a time when humanity discovered new levels of reality, new ways of understanding ourselves and our world. That's happening again, right now.
The energy is moving fast. To navigate it, we need three things:
Grounding practices that anchor us
Developed intuition that guides us
A new sense of community that holds us
And beneath all of this? Connection to your spiritual source. It's not optional anymore—it's essential.
My deepest gratitude to Emil Wilbekin, Joule L'Adara, Rebecca Gordon, and my amazing staff for making this weekend so powerful.

Hope in Action
I'm deeply inspired by the Buddhist monks currently walking from Texas to Washington DC to raise awareness for peace and compassion. Their message landed in my heart, and I want to share it with you:
"It is our deepest wish that we can bring hope to everyone we meet—hope that even when life feels impossibly difficult, even when circumstances seem overwhelming, there is something within you that remains untouched by the chaos.
Peace has always been with you. It hasn't abandoned you in your hardest moments. It hasn't disappeared because things got too hard. It's still there, waiting quietly, patiently, for you to give it a chance to reveal itself.
And how do you give it that chance? Through the gentle choices you make each day: choosing peace over panic when everything feels out of control, choosing mindfulness when your thoughts race endlessly, choosing loving-kindness toward yourself when you feel like you're failing, choosing compassion when harshness seems easier.
We walk to remind you of this. To bring you hope. To tell you that even in your darkest moments, you are not without light. You carry it within you, always."
This Is the Work
This is exactly what I bring to organizations and individuals who are navigating uncertainty: practical rituals that create pockets of light, grounding practices that take 60-90 seconds, and tools that help teams and leaders reconnect to their center when everything feels chaotic.
Whether you're a health coach looking for simple practices to offer clients, a corporate team needing to recalibrate, or an individual seeking clarity in overwhelming times—this work creates real shifts.
If you're feeling the call to bring this kind of grounding, ritual, and transformation to your organization or personal practice, let's talk. Reply to this email or reach out directly.
May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.
With light,
Barbara
P.S. The monks' walk reminds us: even small, consistent choices create profound change. That's the power of ritual. That's what I teach.
