Welcome MAEEC 2009 Cohort!

This blog was created to draw on the collective experience and wisdom of our classmates to confront despair and gain hope through mindful practices.

In our quest to change the world, we can process inner despair by quieting the senses to fully engage the despair and in doing so, gain hope through compassion and connectivity. This personal journey speaks to the soul, and in healing yourself, you add to the healing of the Earth.

We invite each of you to share your personal stories and tools of how you bravely acknowledge despair through mindfulness. By informing each other of our experiences throughout these two years, we hope to create meaning for each other and foster a collective understanding of the power of stillness.

Looking forward,
Leigh, Alla, Michelle, and Elisa

The Way Things Should

The Way Things Should


What will our children do in the morning?

Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,the way wings should?

Will they have dreamed the needed flights and gatheredthe strength from the planets that all men and women need to balance the wonderful charms ofthe earth so that her power and beauty does not make us forget our own?
I know all about the ways of the heart – how it wants to be alive.

Love so needs to love that it will endure almost anything, even abuse, just to flicker for a moment.
But the sky’s mouth is kind,its song will never hurt you, for I sing those words.What will our children do in the morningif they do not see us fly? - Rumi
