A heart centered life is…
… a life where we use the tools we’ve found––the meditation, the cleansing, the communication techniques––to heal the wounded, ego self, and become our whole, radiant selves.
We use everything as compost for growth––our anxieties, arguments, our giftedness and deep kindness; how we dance or set the table; how we pray––some days lost and pleading, other days, so clearly connected to Creation.
We know it’s all sacred.
A heart centered life is…
The heart space is vast––beyond duality. And in that endless love your shadow AND light are included. Your fear, your nerouses––they have a place to be heard. Your brilliance, your Divinity––fully celebrated.
And as we keep folding our own pain and power into the heart, we increase our capacity to honour the struggle and beauty of all beings. Everyone’s in.
A heart centered life is…
Virtue cultivates discernment. And by “discernment” I don’t mean dividing everything into “right” vs. “wrong.” Heart intelligence spots the difference between ignorance and wisdom––inward and outwardly, and can see the most compassionate path forward for everyone involved.
From personal dark nights, to community upheaval, we lead with an unwavering loving gaze.

I hope you will forgive me
In the personal development realm, discussion around Forgiveness tends to focus on us Forgiving the other person for what they apparently did.
But what about asking for Forgiveness? And, if I may, I want to take that a step further and talk about asking for Forgiveness from the person you think owes YOU an apology.

Heart Centered Membership
Reflective practices for self + collective healing.
Multimedia Guidance. Depth. Resonance.
Here I am.
For those of us who believe in the intelligence of Love, and those who are open to considering it. For those of us in pain—from the deeply personal, to planetary upheaval. For those of us interested in evolving a beautiful future. For those of us just getting through the day.
For so many of us.
May we remove all obstructions to Love. May we know the Joy that results from remembering who we actually are—Divinity incarnate.
May we bless this mess with our generous service.
I’m interested in everyday alchemy. When doubt grips, reaching for Faith. When it’s easy to plug our pain with filler relationships and stuff, choosing Stillness. Where there’s blame and superiority complexes, opting for Love.
I’m interested in the Love that clarifies, includes, and redeems. The Love that, as A Course In Miracles puts it, “wants to join out of mutual abundance.”
I think it’s too late in the day for business to be anything other than a vehicle for social and environmental healing. I think the opposite of spiritualism isn’t necessarily materialism—it’s greed. I think loneliness is an epidemic. I believe that wellness is our natural state of being.
I’m a lazy vegan, an opinionated introvert, a pure sensualist (and I’m working on letting go of all of these labels and programs). I’ve had to fight for my Joy. These days, I fight less and flow more. I’m a terrible manager, but a good leader. Music is my nectar. The spirituality that works for me is more rock n’ roll than religious. I support Functional Medicine and the power of prayer. I’m not interested in life hacks, I’m interested in more LIFE.
My professional bookends: I never went to university, but I directed a future-studies think tank in Washington, D.C. We consulted the Pentagon on the dynamics of social change. That was a trip. I ran my own communications agency before I got rejected from art school. Jump cut to now: my team and I support about 400+ Heart Centered Facilitators in 20+ countries.
Anything useful I have to say stems from healing my own woundedness, and grappling with a desire to serve. I believe we’re going deeper into an intense period of change on Earth. Age of Aquarius stuff: structures tumbling and unity consciousness saving the day. We’re going from “me” to “we” for all the right reasons.
I’m here to be a refuge and a light source wherever I can. And I think you would say the same thing about yourself. So let’s stick together and go find the others.
With All My Heart,
Danielle

Occasional sermons on resilience, love and discernment.
I talk about using suffering to get to joy, and waking up to our Divinity––and then how we pour that light on the world.
Esoterica meets the daily doings. Compassionate and very straight up. These conversations are intended to help us feel less alone, full of possibility, and very clearly part of the solution.
