To say that it has been a busy year is a bit like staring at the ocean and thinking, "oh, that looks slightly damp". Over the past months we have had so much happening—conferences, collaborations, art expressions, and more—and in so many countries that it is completely impractical to cover it all in a few newsletter paragraphs. This is why our August ICRL Meetup is dedicated to sharing both what has been going on and what opportunities are coming up for the ICRL Family.

For now, though, and to keep this mailing brief, let me simply share a thought that has been resonating with me today:

Ups... downs... who can say what is good or bad, right or wrong? They are all curves in the sculpture of life, and categorizing them one way or the other is just a matter of one's current perspective.

P.S. In case you are up for other glimpses into Jeff's mind, I make a point of jotting down the lessons that the universe shares with me through my interactions with, well, everything - clouds, children, animals, trees, and yes, sometimes even adults. I then share one each day on the main page of the ICRL website, with an archive of past ones here. You can also receive them sent as a daily broadcast to your phone, and because I measure the success of my life based on how many people are subscribed to that broadcast, please do sign up for it (okay, that might not be entirely true, but I personally find the messages worth the few seconds to read them each day, and you might too!).

We are all capable of connecting intuitively to a source of wisdom and knowing, be it one’s Soul, Angels, Animals Spirits, Guides, Ancestors or something that is beyond a name or label. This Sunday, July 25th at 1:00 pm EDT // 7:00 pm CET, Tanya Sacramento will take us on a Guided Journey through an experience that is not just what is spoken, but the riding on the energy of who we are. 

Listening is valuable, but true discovery requires involvement. ICRL's Exploring Consciousness series provides an opportunity to be part of the discussion with like-minded-yet-diverse people about topics that are sometimes challenging to raise in daily conversation. Our next session, "Speaking In Art", will focus on how we can use art as arguably the most appropriate language for exploring the nature of consciousness. Join us online for this interactive discussion on Saturday, July 25th at 12:00 pm EDT // 6:00 pm CETg...

ICRL continues to take on new projects, and this means opportunities for you, whether as a volunteer, an intern, or even contract work. We are looking for project leads, software development, graphics design and animation, and many other skillsets. If you would like to get more involved, please connect with us to learn more!
