The Assignment

You understand the assignment! If this is the beginning of the new, perfect age, my work is to quiet my mind, open my heart, and relieve suffering. Or if this is Armageddon, the end of the world, my work is to quiet my mind, open my heart, and relieve suffering. ~ Ram Dass No matter […]

Two Lines Inside You

How good can you stand it? How bad before you change it? There are two lines inside you. One marks how good life is allowed to feel. The other marks how bad it has to get before you are willing to change. Most people never see these lines, but they live inside them every day. […]

Two Journeys: One Return to Wholeness

Two Journey’s… One return to wholeness… Our arc is long, but it bends toward wholeness. Toward love. Toward integration. Toward the parts of you that were never meant to be left behind. And that arc is not abstract it lves inside you. There are two ancient movements within every human being. Two primal currents that […]

Staying Long Enough to See

The Presence Project keeps circling a simple, shimmering truth: wisdom is not the property of any one path. It is scattered like constellations across the long night of humanity, waiting for those willing to look up. For example…. In the christian story… The risen Christ appeared first to Mary Magdalene. Not to the twelve. Not […]

Learning How to Sit With Sadness

There are seasons in a human life when the ground gives way beneath your feet, like a floor that was never as solid as you believed. In those moments, something in us reaches to hold it all together. And often, it can’t. What’s striking is not that we fall into sadness. It’s that we’ve forgotten […]

Imagination is not a departure from reality but a deeper participation in it.

When we slow down and enter this space with openness, images, sensations, and inner narratives […]

Courage to Grow

When last we met Presence Project family, we planted our seeds, sunflower seeds, what we wanted to grow with intention. I am so curious whether they have started to grow… both the seeds and the intentions. There’s a courage in planting sunflower seeds. They don’t hide what they’re here to do. They rise fast. They […]

Calling him back…

I started calling that boy back.The boy who laughed like a donkey, great he haws, the boy who ran like wind over fields.The boy who chased fireflies at dusk, hands open to the world, eyes wide with wonder. I started listening for his voice in the quiet moments, hoping he would answer.I started searching for the […]

Four Archetypes of Sacred Masculinity

In the journey of sacred masculinity, few guides are as powerful and uplifting as the four archetypes: the King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover. Each one shines a unique light on what it means to be a strong, compassionate man, bringing us closer to a sense of balance, purpose, and authentic connection. Together, these archetypes reveal […]

The Power Within by Mario Wisniewski

In the course of our lives’ evolution, it happens that we are shaken, that life challenges us to wake up and put down our weapons, to stop fighting it, to stop still suspecting that something bad is going to happen to us. It’s time to believe and accept that you deserve happiness, you have the […]
