For some, it is a refuge during times of loss. For others, it provides an anchor when things feel unstable. And for some, it's somewhere to explore the voice of curiosity and intuition, which may be nudging them towards change. I wonder what you might find here. https://youtu.be/6I5ibgZdXKc “Serenity Island is filled with so many different pathways to experience change from the inside out. It opened my eyes to a wider world of possibility in a way that nothing else ever had. It is filled with music, story, practical information and advice, play and creativity, and best of all, wonder. All my senses are engaged and I create a Serenity Island that is all my own. I can't think of a better gift to give myself than that.” - Zoie Postcard 2: The Lake of Tranquility The Lake of Tranquility is in Serenity Island's region of personal health. It represents our emotional well-being and is somewhere to think about how things currently are, how we want them to be in future, and what we might plant around this part of our island to support that desire. https://youtu.be/uSQl51ObjeA Postcard 3: The Movement Waterfalls The Movement Waterfalls represent elements of our physical health, such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise. Use the trails for walking, running, and cycling, practice yoga overlooking the Lake of Tranquility, and find physio rooms, courts, pitches, and studios for anything you can imagine using that helps you give your body what it needs. https://youtu.be/TkoMqXLQwF4 "If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else." – Lawrence J. Peter Postcard 4: The Curiosity Caves You find what you need in the Curiosity Caves to help you consider and care for your intellectual well-being. Networks of interweaving tunnels and passageways will stimulate your mind in meaningful ways that keep you engaged, interested, and growing. https://youtu.be/D_U-I7eQgxQ Postcard 5: The Owl Park The Owl Park has spots to camp, hang out, and create new memories with our favourite people. It's the part of the island where we think about the nature of our relationships with family and friends (including the friends we haven't made yet) and how we want those connections to look and feel. https://youtu.be/TjFZlpGnzVE Postcard 6: The Mystery Mountains In The Mystery Mountains, we can encounter the awe and beauty of the island's vastness.

Micah 7:18-20 Luke 15:11-32

In this special episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I'm thrilled to unveil the first issue of Coming To Our Senses. This online audio/visual zine for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) is an immersive exploration of the intersection of high sensitivity, creativity, and culture. The zine's launch coincides with the 10th Anniversary of The Haven, which started in June 2014. While it looked pretty different back then, its underlying essence has always been the same - providing a space for gentle rebels to gather and grow together. I hope that Coming To Our Senses will become an ongoing collaborative heartbeat of our community. It reflects the spirit of The Haven, with members providing inspiration, suggestions, and creative contributions to the content. https://youtu.be/OBS6AMGdBfU Why a Zine For HSPs? The underlying vision is to integrate and normalise high sensitivity in everyday life. I want to create space to slow down and show how highly sensitive lenses offer a valuable and transformative way of seeing and holding ourselves, one another, and the culture we swim in. But also to invite a playful spirit that helps us hold on to life with lightness and humour. I firmly believe that by creating an environment that allows sensitivity to flourish and express itself, we can catalyse profound personal and societal transformation. This approach to change is not a grand, booming endeavour, but a subtle, infectious one. As we embrace our own sensitivity, we naturally grant others permission to come to their own senses, leading to new ways of seeing, feeling, and engaging with the world that reflect their unique sensitivity and potential. I'm currently unsure how often I will publish the Coming To Our Senses zine. My initial desire is monthly, but every two or three months might be more sustainable. All editions (and versions) are available to download in The Haven membership. Non-members can read and listen to the latest issue here. The First Issue of Coming To Our Senses You can hear the first issue (Tranquility) in this Gentle Rebel Podcast episode. Read the written edition here, and watch the video/audio version on YouTube. I hope you enjoy it! I'd love to know what you connect with and would potentially like more of in this zine of HSPs. Leave a comment or drop me a message. And if you like it, please do share it with others!

The garden in summer is at its fullest sensory delight and overwhelm – the peak of sunlight, growing hours, heat, and growth, ripening and even rotting. In this week's conversation, embrace this sublime sensuality from various perspectives in conversation with master naturalist Nancy Lawson. Lawson is perhaps best known as The Humane Gardener, the title of her first book, and her online signature. And a humane gardener she is. She is a habitat consultant, and founder of The Humane Gardener, LLC. She observes, researches, and pioneers creative wildlife-friendly landscaping methods in her own home habitat and for others. In other words – and in all senses of the phrase – Nancy puts her gardening where her words are and words and action come together beautifully in her newest book, Wildscape, Trilling Chipmunks, Beckoning Blooms, Salty Butterflies, and Other Sensory Wonders of Nature. Together this week, we delve into her newest research and reporting on the complexity and richness of the sensory life of other than human lives, from the botanical to the birds, bugs, mammals, amphibians, and other wildlife all around us. Wildscape is the eye, ear, nose and heart opening! Listen in! Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

Do you ever experience times when you know you're not thinking right?   In the story of the prodigal son, the younger son asks for his inheritance and splits. Then he blows the whole thing, and ends up with a terrible job, starving. The whole story turns on this verse.   "When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired workers have more than enough food, and here I am dying of hunger!" Luke 15:17 CSB   Is there an area of your life where you sense God wants you to come to your senses? What's involved in coming to your senses anyway?   God wants us to live according to the best we know. This person had experienced a different reality. And he realized it was within his power to re-enter the old reality, even at a lower position, and he would still be better off.   Does this apply to you in a particular area of your life? Notice how he immediately turned toward the father in this story. We'll talk about his father's response tomorrow.   Today, living according to our senses is fully within our control. Let's live up to the best we know. Let's live like we trust Jesus to do what's best. Maybe we need to get around others who are thinking and living up their best. One of our friends, Carey Green has another podcast called the Morning Mindset. Check it out at www.CareyGreen.com.   Another way to get around others who are chasing Jesus, would be to join our online community. Head over to https://Community.FollowerofOne.org and join our community and take part in the next Marketplace Mission Trip, too!  

Here is a verse that seems to be autobiographical. The author gets trapped into webs and narratives of others, and has to hide their true self. #go.along.to.get.along When one forgets or compromises one's original self, original virtue, or as the main metaphor for this verse, one's thread to which one holds tightly, all kinds of compromises and "settling" happen. The solution: Remember your roots. Remember your origins. Come back to your senses. Missy Harris is our voice and question-asker. May your days begin in peace, and become the threads with which weave radical hope. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marc-mullinax/message

The most memorable of parables contains a verse defining what becoming a Christian is. -When he came to himself. What a transformation the young man underwent. He saw what a fool he had been. He returned to his loving father. We look at how he was before and after he came to his senses.

What are the ‘senses' that tell you that you're home? What are the ‘senses' that tell you that you're lost? Big story: a study in getting lost Luke 15:11-32

When the news is fast, furious, and stressful - radically destructive Supreme Court rulings, mass murders, Omicron variants, Russia's war on Ukraine, inflation, climate crisis, etc. -  here's my 2005 conversation with JON KABAT ZINN, best-selling author of WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE about his book, COMING TO OUR SENSES: HEALING OURSELVES AND THE WORLD THROUGH MINDFULNESS. Kabat-Zinn is as responsible as anyone for mindfulness going mainstream. Over 200 medical centers and clinics nationwide and abroad now use his Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

Welcome to the Information Entropy Podcast, science in theory but comedy in practice! The boys aim to return to their senses this week after last weeks tangent and they do well to stay on track… sort of. Starting out with some interesting news of the week they explore domestication syndrome and how space affects bone structure. On topic Mitch takes us through the world of electroreception and how sharks use it to their advantage. Tom will find a way to shoehorn dolphins into the podcast somehow so of course he speaks about echolocation while using some dodgy terminology! Rounding out the show bees come to the centre of attention with their amazing perception of the world! Music: EVA – 失望した

The Lord laid two words on Pastor Jeremie's heart the week prior to him sharing this message: Self-awareness & Prodigal. Self-awareness means having a deep understanding of one's emotions, strengths, limitations, values & motives, as discussed further in a great Harvard Business Review book entitled "Primal Leadership: Unleashing the Power of Emotional Intelligence" by Goleman, Boyatzis, & McKee (2013). Prodigal simply means reckless & wasteful. In Luke 15, Jesus is surrounded by an audience of tax-collectors & sinners, Pharisees & scribes. He seizes this opportunity to tell 3 parables: 1 lost sheep out of 100, 1 lost coin out of 10, and 1 lost son out of 2. In the end of each parable, what was lost was found. The last parable, the one about the prodigal son, is a favorite of many, and reveals how a deep lack of self-awareness can damage our perspective of the Kingdom of God, and can hinder our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Homing in on the father's reception of the prodigal son, Pastor Jeremie teaches four steppingstones towards self-awareness in Christ: ROBES, RINGS, REEBOKS & ROAST. (Originally uploaded on August 23, 2021)

Pastor Craig Dillman

"But when he came to his senses, he said, "How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here in hunger!" Luke 15:17. The pursuit of joy, friendship, love, power, and so much more blinds us that we're living a reckless life away from God until our world comes falling apart and we come to our senses that we left the better way.

Happy new year and welcome to  this new episode investigating everything you need to know about our sensory system and how we see, hear and feel when we're out in nature...Forest bathing is simply walking mindfully in nature while absorbing the woodland atmosphere – but of course – it's so much more than that, and we can't delve into the benefits of being in nature without talking about  our incredible senses.Humans have five basic senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste and so we take a whistle top tour of each giving you fun facts, science and interviews. Did you know we can detect trillions of different scents and that scientist have found that leaves can tell us when they're dehydrated? But we often overlook our sensory system, which is why we're going to talk about how our attention gets hijacked, auto pilot, attentional fatigue and the science of attention restoration (which is the amazing way nature restores our senses) We also look at why stress affects vision, how hearing in a certain way can be a game-changer for some - and lots more !This week's bonus track contains some really cool ways to use urban environments along with green spaces to boost creativity and open up your mind in a whole new way! so check that out. If you want to have a go at forest bathing yourself in the park check out our bonus audio guide, available in this series.  LINKS:https://www.otherwaystowalk.co.ukhttps://www.streetwisdom.orghttps://tfb.institutehttps://www.natural-inclusion.orghttps://blogs.uoregon.edu/richardtaylor/https://hubermanlab.comWritten and produced by Vanessa Potter, editing by Melissa Green. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VanessaP)

Questions include: Who is Liam, and how did modern medicine allow him to see after years of being legally blind? (01:46) How does 'museum fatigue' help explain some of Liam's difficulties when initially gaining better eyesight? (09:31) Why do the newly sighted see lines, edges, and contours instead of whole objects? (12:50) How did Liam handle reflections?

The prodigal son is the parable of modern life. We all head out searching for something - our life's journey - but then realize its not what we expected or what was promised. Perhaps, we discover that the acheivements or endless striving really has a certain emptiness to it, At some point we feel need to return home, but where is our true home? How do we come to our senses like the prodigal son and head back to the goodness that was always there? Join Dr. Keck this weekend for the journey of our lives.

In this episode I'm in conversation with my best friend Emma about her burn-out and the subsequent search for her inner compass and her true voice. Unfortunately burn-outs are extremely common, especially amongst millennials, and I am really thankful to Emma who talks so openly about her struggles. Together, we can break the stigma attached to mental health issues! In our conversation we talk about books that have helped her gain awareness, we talk about the healing power of creativity and we pull some (scarily accurate!) Inner Compass cards. 

 In this episode, Emma mentions Coming To Our Senses as the book that helped her gain awareness. She also shares a quote of the Dutch book Jong Burnout by Nienke Thurlings. We pull cards from the Inner Compass deck. ~

How we make sense in clinic is not as simple as ticking items off a list. It’s more than mentally sorting through the models, theories, admonitions from our teachers and some chatter from a recent glimpse at Facebook. While the theories and mental models we crafted through our experience have a place in clinic, there is also the experience of sensing without a story being attached. If we are attentive and quiet enough there is something that arise in our mind, before the label of “it’s that!” gets attached to our experience. Sometimes we can have an experience in clinic that does not yet have words attached to it. In this discussion we explore perceiving, thinking, evidence and sensing. Listen into this conversation on how we make sense at the edge our unfolding clinical experience.   Head on over to the show notes page for more information about this episode and for links to the resources discussed in the interview.

We talk to Heather Digby Parkr about civility, civics, community online and coming to our senses on the left! We track back to our roots talking about blog culture under GW Bush, how progressives lost our way during Obama, and how we are getting our groove back under Trump. We didn't pull any punches asking the important questions about whether the Democrats have the guts to take on Trump, what we can learn from the Bush Era to resist the Trump Regime, and what we need to do to ensure 2020 is a victory!

In this Conversations episode of This Anthro Life, Adam Gamwell and Ryan Collins explore the subject of sensory ethnography – a focus in anthropology that tends to deemphasize the written word to explore visual, acoustic, and other sensory perceptions. Today, researchers explore senses increasing in the media through virtual simulations, visual and auditory stimuli that cause different reactions (fostering disorientation or meditative states), and of course art. But, how we perceive the world around us can also be influenced by culture and our surroundings, from music, to dance, to collective effervescence. After all, viral examples in recent years (like the infamous dress), demonstrate that human perception varies visually from person to person (often in the recognition of more or less recognized colors in the light spectrum). Individual distinctions aside, as humans we’re limited in our generally ability to sense and see the world around (infrared and ultraviolet light are imperceptible to us, for example). Yet, tactile sense is intrinsic to our relatively unique to our ability to produce and use tools. Though it tends to overlooked and under recognized in most anthropological settings, sense is critical to the human experience. This episode explores just a few examples of projects related to sensory ethnography and how they take us beyond our everyday experience of the perceived world around us. What is Sensory Ethnography Sense and perception has always been part of ethnographic work, but it hasn’t always been emphasized. According to David Howes, studies focused on sense perception have been documented as early as the 16th century, when smell, auditory, and visual perceptions were emphasized. In 20th Century ethnography, however, the senses took a backseat. Switching again in recent years, with broadly accessible digital video and auditory technologies, the senses have once again come back into focus.

Sunday, July 2, 2017 -- Pastor Tom Patterson “Coming To Our Senses” 1. Why is it so easy to see someone else’s problem and not our own? Hint—Read Romans 2:1 2. How does my life compare with Luke 15:11-72? 3. If I had to come up with one thing that I need to come to my senses about, what would it be? 4. Isaiah, in 6:5, had come to his senses. What prompted him to make this declaration? Read Isaiah 5:8, 11, 20, 21. Can you see Isaiah’s problem? 5. If, in fact, all that Isaiah is saying is true, what compels him to make this statement in Isaiah 6:5? Read Luke 6:41 and 42. 6. The question we need to ask ourselves is wrapped up in Luke 15:13. Where do we stand -- in God’s Word or the world? Where are you living?

We are all aware that we are sense of the world around us is conveyed through our senses. Taste, touch, hearing, sight and smells all contribute to the information required to live life fully. But what happens when we dull our senses, in particular, on purpose or through habit. It is time to come to our senses, and make sense of our world.

We often think that the under-tapped unconscious holds the secrets to our transformation. I wonder if, in fact, what we call transformation – or even what we call "real life" – is most truly the here-and-now. If this is true, the thing that brings us into life as we know it is going to be, well...coming to our senses. Come join us for this conversation on the different options we have to living life – invisible and visible. Email your thoughts, questions, ideas, musings to lifeinthewhirlwind@gmail.com. Hearing from you is pure delight!  P.S. Happy Mothers' Day to all you who are moms! xoxo

Coming To Our Senses #1

Last week we looked at starting out again. That idea that we have to continually re-commit to the journey and not let ourselves become complacent about it. It is so easy to just ‘go through the motions’, especially in a spiritual life. You just keep turning up in the hope that things will be OK. But that is bound to lead to disillusionment as we gradually realize that we are not developing. More than that – if we are not developing, are going shrinking, because nothing stays the same. The result is that we give up. Coming here to the Aspen Chapel, give up our practice, or even give up thinking that spiritual life is going to make a difference. We have to keep life fresh. And that means savoring each moment for what it can offer. Last week I talked again of those three steps. Holding your nerve, putting one foot in front of the other and responding to circumstances in a loving way Today we are looking at that first step – holding your nerve. Or as I put it on the service sheet ‘Coming to your Senses’.

Coming to Our Senses: Towards a Spirituality of Wine, Joy and FeastingSeries: Learners' Exchange 2016 Speaker: Dr. Gisela KreglingerLearners' ExchangeDate: 24th April 2016

Originally aired September 2010 You startle awake to a rude alarm clock. Nothing you'd rather do than sleep a bit more. Coffee gets you going enough to make it out the door. On your morning commute you zone out, oblivious to radio reports of weather disasters or war casualties. At work, juggling your cell phone, landline, and email, you speak to countless faceless people without leaving your desk. You grab lunch over a pile of paperwork. Driving home, you look up to notice what must have been a beautiful sunset. At day's end, you're back where you started. What's getting lost in your daily shuffle? What toll is stress taking on your body? How could you lead a fuller, happier life? JON KABAT-ZINN says the answer may be "living life moment by moment as if it really mattered." He believes that by practicing mindfulness, we can literally and metaphorically come to our senses - as individuals and as a society. And there's growing scientific evidence to back him up. TRUDY GOODMAN has done a lot to make that practice accessible here in LA, with the InsightLA center in Santa Monica.

Feeling comfortable is one of our greatest ambitions. But it comes with a cost. Comfort has a way of keeping us in the same place, while discomfort has a way of moving us. The words that God speaks through Hosea are especially uncomfortable, but they...

Coming to Our Senses;Listening to What our Bodies are Saying We all know the five basic senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. These are the necessary building blocks for constructing the framework of how we perceive our world, but they are just the beginning of the story. Our senses are a major part of our non-verbal communication, providing clues and information to us as we explore our day to day routines and interact with others. Our senses often combine to work together, forming complex systems that we use to filter our experiences. It is through the senses that the rest of the world “talks” to us. When we are fully present to this information, we become more connected to our surroundings, to the world, and ultimately to the Divine presence that is within all beings.  During this episode we will explore and rediscover our sensual selves to reconnect to the voices of our senses, and how sensory awareness impacts all areas of our lives: our relationships, spirituality, especially our intuition. We will learn about ways we are limited in accessing our sensory input, and discuss exercises we can take with us to expand and explore deeper sensory experience.About Kali As a Reiki Master Practitioner (Reiki 3), Spiritual Health Coach, teacher of Empowerment and Sacred Sexuality, Kali offer many avenues of outreach such as workshops, personal coaching, energy work, and various other offerings.
