Embodying Our Core Values
Aligning with our intentions and values = service to the whole.
It is easy to feel egotistical when we’re focusing on our inner work and aligning with our intentions and core values, yet it has ripple effects far beyond our comprehension when we do so. By prioritizing that which nurtures you - on all levels of being - you are giving other’s permission to do the same. And those around you benefit from you being fully authentic, in alignment, nourished and whole. I dare you to try it.
Summary of the May 2025 Sangha Session - download the contemplations PDF here.
COMMITMENT TO SELF
During our most recent Sangha Session, we took the pulse on if we find ourselves in alignment - or not - with our previously set intentions. This group has been bouncing the topics related to Commitment to Self since the beginning of the year. Hence the pulse reading five months into it, to gauge and witness the process thus far.
I have decided to open up the content from this session to the public, so that you get a glimpse of the type of work we do together in the Sangha Sessions (and invite you to join us if this nourishes your being) and to give you the gift of inspired contemplations. If you want to join our future Sangha Sessions (and get access to the recordings and bonus materials) please upgrade your subscription.
Attached is the PDF with contemplations and journaling prompts accompanying the session we had earlier this week.
PREVIOUS SANGHA SESSIONS
Access our January Sangha Session - COMMITMENT TO SELF to bring you back to the beginning of the year and our collectively guided inner digging. Most of the other monthly Sangha Sessions are kept sacred to the people who sign up to join the group. However, if you want to join, it is never too late. You will get access to all recordings, contemplations and journaling prompts, so that you can catch up and/or simply drop into the group sessions. Join here and get all the details to dive in.

RESOURCES
I highly recommend Elena Brower’s audio course SIMPLIFY as you’re navigating the ways you can create more sacred space for yourself and your heartfelt priorities. This course offers very supportive ways to help us align at all levels of being.
I also highly recommend the book ESSENTIALISM by Greg McKeown. This books helps us discern what is essential in our lives and direct our attention to what truly matters.
As a paid Substack subscriber you get access to my list of over 160 titles of recommended reading, on topics ranging from conscious living and wisdom across various traditions, to yoga, meditation, health and wholeness, death and dying, creativity, poetry, culinary inspiration, etc.
My new book AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE CAVE is available for preorder (ships in June, 2025). Join the many others who are putting in their orders early, to facilitate this baby going to print. Gratitude in advance! I can’t wait to hear how this book resonates with you. It is all about contemplations for inner digging, sacred riddles for the inquisitive, and nourishment for the journey. It’s been a long time coming…
Please use the link to the downloadable PDF with this month’s contemplations and journaling prompts related to the Sangha Sessions. Normally I keep these PDFs for the Sangha Session peeps only, but I want you to get a glimpse into the work that we do together and to taste its flavor by exploring the contemplations guide. Enjoy it! May it serve your inner digging.
If you want to book private sessions, I am open to that also. Please read more on the VICHARA website and shoot me an email to get on the calendar.
