Co-Founders, BeLovedNow
BeLovedNow™ Mission
We guide and empower people to healing, connection and freedom for personal and global transformation. This sovereignty and interconnectedness affirms our responsibility to heal communities and the planet, one person at a time.
Why Courageous Community?
We are social creatures and need to be witnessed, supported and held in loving accountability for real growth and transformation to happen. Resistance to change is real and embedded in our human DNA. We all get stuck in the swamp, lost in the roil of emotional attachment, denial and excuses. We create brave space together to have a new social conversation about what wellness and wholeness really means.
Why Now?
We are living in a very challenging and rapidly changing reality. It is now of paramount importance to increase our spiritual capacities in order to exist and thrive in the new normal. During this time when we depend on technology to connect to the outside world, we must be conscious about where we place our intention and attention.
Community helps us to stay focused, aligned and in integrity with the agreements we make with ourselves and one another.
BeLovedNow is needed more than ever because it helps increase spiritual capacities in a very practical and embodied way through the application of eternal Guiding Spiritual Principles in supportive community.
Who We Are
When we collaborate, it’s a gracious dance of Joy! We invite each other into Being and in the process, powerful sacred space is created for the whole community. Giving and receiving grace flows naturally and effortlessly through conscious deliberate intention. BIG MAGIC happens.
We have been working together for almost a decade, co-creating programming and content for teaching progressive series classes in yoga, meditation, pranayama, and restorative practices at Open Sky Yoga Barn in Redding CT. In over 30 multi-week sessions since 2011, we culled from ancient yogic texts as well as modern wisdom teachers. Ranging from the Yamas and Niyamas of Patanjali to the Bhagavad Gita, to works by Brene Brown and Mark Nepo, we embodied themes covering a wide range of spiritual principles. Both certified E-RYT 500 teachers, we have completed over 3,000 combined hours of training in yogic philosophy, meditation, pranayama, therapeutics, etc.
More recently we companioned each other through a two year Interfaith-Interspiritual seminary program and are graduates of One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in NYC. As ordained ministers we work with spiritual counseling clients, and recently led 12 participants through a Lyme to Wellness pilot program using AmpCoil sound healing technology to aid in recovery from chronic illness. This shared journey has led us to the creation of BeLovedNow, a healing and empowerment program based on 12 Guiding Spiritual Principles for humble mastery of life’s challenges.
This coalescing of experience led to a shared awakening that the purpose of our union IS sacred service. The holy vessel of our relationship is a means to help others with their own soul evolution. We create brave community that invites everyone in and elevates the vibration with awareness. Because when WE are together, our collective light shines brighter. We supercharge each other. We inspire, motivate, illuminate.
We are ready to cast a wider offering. This is the invitation. “We ALL get to do this!”
