Circulation and Wild Strawberries
2026-01-11 10:00 - 11:30
This week draws us into the sacred rhythm of giving and receiving—what Ernest Holmes calls the Law of Circulation, and what Indigenous wisdom beautifully mirrors through the story of the wild strawberries, small embodiments of generosity, sweetness, and reciprocity.
Wild strawberries don’t hoard their goodness. They grow freely, abundantly, offering their sweetness to anyone who passes by—animals, insects, humans, the land itself. They ask nothing in return, yet everything benefits from their presence. They grow in clusters, reminding us that life’s gifts are rarely meant to be solitary. They come in season, teaching us that giving and receiving each have their time.
Holmes tells us that the universe is forever pouring itself through us, but it can only do so to the degree that we allow it. Many of us long for more good—more peace, more connection, more prosperity—but we hold our breath spiritually. We give cautiously or receive reluctantly. Yet life itself gives without hesitation. The Divine circulates endlessly, generously, joyfully.
This week asks: How might your life change if you gave and received as freely as wild strawberries grow? What sweetness might return to you if you loosened the tight places within your heart? Where might Spirit flow more easily if you stopped trying to “manage” the good and instead allowed it to move?
The affirmation, “I give and receive freely with an open heart,” becomes a practice of trust. Trust that giving does not diminish you. Trust that receiving does not burden others. Trust that the Universe knows how to restore balance in ways you cannot orchestrate.
Look for opportunities to give where you’ve been hesitant. Notice moments when life wants to give to you—through kindness, support, resources, encouragement—and practice saying yes. Let good circulate. Let sweetness flow.

Cause and Effect in the Sweetgrass
2026-01-18 10:00 - 11:30
This week calls us into a deeper understanding of our creative power—what Science of Mind names Cause and Effect, and what Indigenous wisdom reflects through the quiet, steady teachings of sweetgrass. Sweetgrass doesn’t grow well in neglect or overgrowth. It flourishes when intentionally tended, when space is cleared, when the old is removed to make room for the new. It thrives through mindful participation.
Holmes reminds us that life is not happening to us, but through us. Thought is cause. Experience is effect. Yet this teaching is not meant to blame us for our circumstances—it is meant to awaken us to our agency. Sweetgrass shows us that growth is relational. It responds to care. It responds to presence. It responds to intention. So do we.
The contemplative question this week asks, “How can I deepen my intentional co-creation to include the wellbeing of all life?” This shifts us from seeing manifestation as a personal project to understanding it as a communal, ethical, and spiritual responsibility. Our thoughts do not exist in isolation. Our healing affects the field. Our clarity ripples outward. Our love expands possibilities for others. The sweetgrass we cultivate within—compassion, clarity, honesty, willingness—becomes an offering to the world.
The affirmation, “I am creating a world that works for every living thing,” lifts our vision. It asks us to think beyond personal gain and into collective flourishing. Sweetgrass has long been used in ceremony to invite goodness, harmony, and connection. As we tend the inner soil of our own minds, we become such an invitation.
This week, notice where your inner landscape is overgrown with old beliefs, outdated fears, or inherited limitations. Clearing is not rejection—it is preparation. It is opening space for Spirit to move through you with greater ease.
You are not creating alone. Life is co-creating with you. Tend the ground. Plant your intention. Make room for what wants to grow.

Infinite Possibilities and Sacred Kinship
2026-01-25 10:00 - 11:30
This final week of January invites us into the expansive truth of Oneness—the understanding that all of life is interconnected, interdependent, and infused with divine purpose. The Haudenosaunee teaching of sacred kinship reminds us that every being—human, animal, plant, water, wind, ancestor—is part of a single spiritual family. Nothing stands alone. Nothing exists without relationship. Nothing is separate from the Infinite.
Ernest Holmes echoes this when he writes that we are individualized expressions of a universal Presence. We are not isolated sparks of consciousness; we are emissaries of the One Life, shaped by It and shaping through It. When we remember this, our sense of possibility expands. We move from a personal mindset—What can I create for myself?—to a universal one: What might we create together with the Infinite Power we’ve been given?
The marketing teaser invites us to imagine a “more expansive way of living,” a life rooted not in competition or scarcity but in shared purpose, reciprocity, and unity. When we recognize that our good is entangled with the good of all beings, our actions change. Compassion deepens. Courage strengthens. Vision widens.
The affirmation, “I co-create powerfully for the good of all,” is both a declaration and a commitment. It means our creativity is not random—it is a sacred responsibility. It means that every thought, word, and action has impact. It means we approach life not as isolated individuals but as participants in a grand, interconnected web of becoming.
This week, you are invited to expand your imagination. Dream not only for yourself, but for the world you are part of. Imagine a community where belonging is unquestioned, where diversity is celebrated, where justice is a shared practice, where every being is recognized as kin. Imagine what becomes possible when we align our creativity with the Infinite.
You are not alone in your becoming. You are part of a sacred family, co-creating a world of infinite possibility.

Living on the Inner Edge
2026-02-01 10:00 - 11:30
February begins with a courageous invitation: to meet the inner edge of your own becoming. Ernest Holmes reminds us that being Open at the Top means we cannot cling to comfort, certainty, or familiar versions of ourselves. Spiritual growth asks us to stretch—to step toward the places within that feel tender, unpolished, or unexamined. And Indigenous wisdom echoes this truth: the edge is not a danger zone, but a doorway.
This week’s question is deeply personal: “Where am I being invited to stretch beyond self-judgment into deeper self-acceptance?” That question alone can stir something in the soul. Most of us do not resist growth because change is too big—we resist because we fear what the change might reveal. Our edges are not our failures; they are the openings through which Spirit invites us into more spacious love.
Holmes teaches that the Divine is not found in perfection but in the unfoldment of who we are becoming. Every moment of discomfort signals a place where greater truth wants to be known. Every place where we judge ourselves is a place where compassion is asking to enter. The inner edge is where the spiritual path becomes real.
Your affirmation this week, “I meet my inner edge with courage, curiosity, and compassion,” is both a prayer and a posture. Courage to face what arises. Curiosity to explore without fear. Compassion to stay gentle with yourself as buried feelings, old stories, or long-avoided truths come forward for healing.
This week invites a simple but powerful practice: pause whenever you feel resistance, tension, or self-criticism. Instead of pushing the feeling away, turn toward it. Ask it what it wants you to know. Edges soften when met with presence. Healing begins where honesty meets love.
You are not breaking at the edge. You are opening. Spirit is expanding you into a larger version of yourself.

Living with Presence and Deep Awareness
2026-04-05 10:00 - 11:30
April: Practice of Becoming
Summary: This month, we explore the practice of becoming: becoming who you truly came here to be. We will discover that becoming does not mean reaching a fixed state, but rather committing to life from a place of openness and presence. We begin
with the practice of awareness, learning to pay attention to life as it unfolds, moment by moment. From there, we enter the sacred space of vulnerability, where we discover that growth often comes when we let go of control and allow ourselves to be
seen. As we go deeper, we learn to listen beyond the noise, cultivating inner stillness to hear the silent truths that lie beneath our thoughts and emotions. We will also see love as a daily practice, not as a fleeting feeling, but as a conscious act of
kindness, connection, and service. Transformation is not about fixing or perfecting ourselves, but about participating fully in the here and now. This month, we are not walking toward a distant ideal, but toward the depths of our true nature, recognizing
who we are at our core.
