Where are your decisions taking you?
Often we think that small decisions don't matter. But over time, each choice makes a huge impact on your life's circumstances. Learn how to bring greater consciousness to your choices so that they bring you towards your highest calling.
We are in uncharted territory.Â
But we are not the first to be here.
Â
Change is coming faster than most communities can absorb, and many of the biggest decisions shaping our future are made by a few people, far from the people they affect. On the ground, it shows up like this:
-
Meetings turn into debates where everyone makes their case and no one really listens
-
Good people burn out on the daily chaos
-
Small decisions quietly lead somewhere no one intended
-
Assumptions and misunderstanding fracture relationships that took years to build
The longer we wait to shape the future, the fewer options we have.

Join us to learn where your choices are taking you
Pathways to peace are revealed in stories already told
Â
Paula Underwood's
ancestors were struck by an earthquake and tsunami over 10,000 years ago. Their wisdom keepers were lost in a single moment. Staring into the unknown, they made a fateful choice: from then on, everyone would carry the people's wisdom, not just a few. They declared themselves a Learning People, and on their long journey they discovered how to make sure every voice was part of every decision.'
Grandmother Tu Moonwalker's
lineages were Apache and South American. She shared her ancestral wisdom so that we can learn how to live in harmony with everything within us . . and with everything that surrounds us - other people, the natural environment. Her spiritual system is based on environmental consciousness and peaceful co-existence. She focused on sharing practical wisdom for bringing sacredness into our daily lives.
Â
We've been here before.
The wisdom we need for today is already embedded in stories that have been told.

Have you ever paid a high price for jumping to a conclusion?
As human beings, we tend to believe that everything that happens to us, is about us. The reality is that many things that happen to us have nothing to do with us at all. Someone 'ignores' us and we begin making up a story about why. And in the worst case scenario, we act upon our unfounded assumption. Making matters worse when we discover the person was simply preoccupied with something else.Â

"Stephanie, I love the precious wisdom you share.  The energy is so grounding, practical, gentle and loving. I would come off of stressful and angsty work calls, and just feel myself uplifted.  I was always transformed into higher order thinking, eagle sightedness of the big picture and a sense of equanimity."
