In service and support of a process beholding for your individual needs. The presence of care and healing safely engages the work of good grounding in heartfelt gathering.  ​Fires of Compassion offers an inclusive approach to spirituality honoring the many ways that inspire community and  health. To live with a Multifaith view of reality, where we can witness other traditions and celebrate the light of spirit in its unique way fosters richness, respect and good relations. To live with unity, with an open  mind to how others approach the issue of interconnection allows a greater field of consciousness.

​

The nature of compassion involves heartfelt connection. In this we involve ourselves with the intelligence of a greater will.  The freedom claimed through listening, learning and witnessing brings awareness. This place of awareness is the potential soothing we learn to create. We learn of compassion's unique way of  tenderness and of powerfully fostering equanimity. It is perhaps the ultimate vehicle for change inspiring continuous exploration, gratitude and rectification. Compassion is a truly formidable force; it’s the little tugboat capable of guiding us well beyond what seemingly appears to be unmanageable. 

​

            The compassionate heart is the vehicle that  helps in spiritual growth. Those who know see,  the union God and heart. ​​​​​​​​

Welcome to Fires of Compassion (trademark) where imagination has a power of ignition as it involves the subtle awakening of mind and heart. As one true way to promote ongoing change, imagination allows the flow of desire to pull forth need with passion. Imagine a world - where desire for heart is allowed, and the fire of compassion protected.
The one true gift to all is the warmth of the sacred fire. The ancient way helps clear away the pain of old, the danger of present, and puts forth hope for new outcome. The rising flame transforms what we cannot manage, placing mindfulness at the center of the process. This sacred fire engages all who look upon it.

 



For Mother Earth


​I call on the great wisdom of the earth to guide and protect me
To take me as I am and nurture me, my belly lay flat against your desert
To open my roots of strength half hidden but knowable
To show me my allies and guide me
I humbly offer my open heart and knowledge of the infinite goodness
Eternal tenderness and mysterious creation from energy to form
I accept my path with its obstacles and challenges
I see my reflection in the clear desert lake as a healer/changer and hope 
that I may reach those waters
My blood will run freely in my body as clear mountain streams
My thoughts will be as the bubbles that form a flow on the surface
My love will be fierce as windstorms and tender as the smallest "forget me not"
And when the ground beneath my feet crumbles and I am falling and lost in fear,
I will hold to the wisdom of the soft eternal breezes
In the midst of fear I will find a whispering voice from within that will have me look towards the light that is the hand of Grace - ready to ease my heartache

and heal my fall.
Let the earth be my mother - let my true nature be free
