our last hike before the River, intense couple months and purpose…(pic inside)

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

Yesterday was our last hike in the hills near home before we head out for the River!

(With my niece and Tammi)

It’s been an intense couple months.

From integrating the loss of my aunt, to becoming a best selling author, to time with family in Tennessee and Minnesota, to deepening with the teachings of the River, to mentoring my private clients, to refreshing advancements in my health (still discovering how to care for my body this mysterious stage of life!) …

… my focus has demanded my attention in unexpected ways and I elected to relinquish “pushing” to make business happen during a time that clearly has asked something different from me.

We are about to launch on the Salmon River for 6 days.

Unplugged from the matrix, plugged into the true Source…

… great revelation and glory await us all.

I’m certain that upon my return I will be ever clearer in my mission for your freedom.

And while I’ll continue to offer services to liberate your mind and align you with your innate power to consciously create… I do know my call to nature’s wisdom as a vital component to our future will shape my direction.

The initiation(s) on the River, in nature and at the behest of the wilderness have changed me… delivering a new part of my purpose toward women’s leadership, true wealth and sovereignty.

The intelligence of nature is a superior guide ready to show us
the way. I am at her feet listening.

With all that I am,

epic of epic!! our holy ascent in Peru, the wild truth of who you are & an extraordinary testimony to rouse your Soul

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

“I had the pleasure of meeting Kendra on a retreat that I was staffing in Peru. Our ascent into allyship culminated in the epic of epic transformational experience of ascending the holy mountain of Wayna Picchu.

As if destiny was being orchestrated, just as we reached the peak, lightning struck across the sky.

Really?! Yup!!.

It was one of those experiences that words will never do justice to.

To say the least, it was the perfect medicine that makes you grateful to be alive in the majesty and living magic that makes life meaningful and “worthwhile” – It was what a Pilgrimage “should” be – “Holy”!!

And it is these kinds of experiences that help us remember the truth of who we are and restore faith in humanity. They awaken the wildness of our souls and feed them with truth, mystery, and awe, leaving us enlivened … and simply better – much better!!

I have found that you can only really get to know people with time and care. It is easy to love when you feel love, but when the living gets hard and severely challenged, you get to see who you really are, and relationally, who you are together.

I have had the honor and pleasure of connecting with Kendra relatively regularly for almost a year now on weekly check-in calls for a mutually welcomed “life support”. We have weathered many a storm together, as well as celebrated many victories. Needless to say, we have gotten to know each authentically well – hallelujah.

During this time, I have found Kendra to be one of the most compassionate, fierce, intelligent, wise, resilient, and caring beings I have ever met.

She consistently shows up in profound care for me and herself. She is available for truth and will hold your hand through it. She will not collude or feed what is not true and beneficial to the best of her ability.

She is a true Warrioress – she stands for and nurtures the truth and love of humanity and all sentient life.

Kendra is committed to living her best life, and is accountable to course correct what needs attention. In her fierce authenticity, care, and wisdom, she personally inspires me to be a better me. Her commitment to being authentic creates the space for me to be me. I feel so much more me in connecting with her … Simply it is easy to be me. There is no greater gift in the human walk than that!!

Thus, if you are feeling the call / need to cleanse the old and reconnect to the wild truth of who you truly are, check out the info below and register for this life-transforming pilgrimage into soul-nourishing excellence and evolution …

As many of you know, I am a huge proponent of Men’s Work – actually, I feel that it is essential for Men’s healing, health, well-being, and sanity. I feel there is certain work that only men can do together, and in the same breath, that only women can do together.

Coming off the heels of a super potent Men’s Retreat a couple of weeks back, I am still integrating from the potency and depth of healing and truth that we opened into and engaged.

When we started promoting this latest Men’s Retreat, many women asked about a Women’s Retreat. I shared that I would keep my ears and heart open, and when I found one that I feel aligned with, I would let you know.

So, with no further adieu, I wholeheartedly recommend and support Kendra E Thornbury and the epic immersion ‘The River + Wilderness of the Feminine Soul’!!

Opening to an attuned listening and surrendering to the deeper currents, women travel with the wilds of the River and nature’s wisdom for 6 days… unlocking the essence of true self, activating and remembering who you really are.

In these turbulent times of awakening, the rise of conscious leaders is of great significance. Kendra, the River, and her co-facilitators offer a rare embodied experience … direct contact with the pristine beauty and power of the wilderness – inner and outer – prompting advanced self-awareness that augments life and leadership.

Kendra is a regarded spiritual guide, mentor, best-selling author, and dedicated change agent. Deeply devoted to the reclamation of the Feminine as an integral force for our evolution, she empowers women to build businesses grounded in timeless wisdom, purposeful contribution, and personal liberation.

We share a passion for depth, being real, and full-bodied freedom. I wholeheartedly invite you to receive the gift of this lineage of self-discovery and mastery through nature’s intelligence speaks to you … or share it with a soulful woman you know would delight in such a sacred journey.

The River + Wilderness of the Feminine Soul is Aug 11-16, so time is of the essence.”

A personal message with lessons from ruptures

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

I really feel something is lifting. Do you?

I’ve been in a deep tending process, cleaning up residue of immense and unexpected ruptures in my business in 2022.

Clean up means getting real about lessons. Among the lessons were BOUNDARIES.

Looking back, I can see how I let some women and energies “in”, desiring to build mutually beneficial pathways in service to change and new modes of doing business.

I can’t believe it, but I dismissed one of my very own practices and teachings, which is to NOT belittle or deny the inner knowings and red flags.

That part of me that just wants to make it work for everyone allowed “exceptions” and softened my terms.
I discovered, once again, that I can and MUST trust the felt sense when something is off, even if subtle and I don’t “get why”, and act accordingly!

I also recognized there truly are spaces and stages of consciousness and being that women are not ready to enter, let alone embody. Even though they say they want it, the level of awareness and refinement requires a humility that their self preservation patterns just won’t allow.

My honing as a result of the discord and dissolution has fortified my mission to support advanced and conscious leadership.

Not only that, it’s provided the rich compost for a lot of new buds beginning to break ground!

In fact…. I’m SUPER EXCITED about what’s to come in March, which includes a big reveal that I’ve been working my whole life to grow into.

With all that I am,

Kendra E Thornbury, MA

This year I will …. (my declaration !! informed by standards of Soul + Source)

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

This year …

I’m moving with what feels right.
I’m going to trust my inner knowing.
I’m going to dutifully respond to nudges of my Soul.
I’m letting pleasure lead.

I won’t be crushing it.

I’ll be nourishing it.

I will let the soft animal of my body love what it loves. (Mary Oliver)

I will listen intently to the deeper currents (Connor Sauer) and be shaped by benevolence.

I will surrender my ideas of what is supposed to happen, availing myself to the higher expression of what wants to happen.

I will humbly pour myself into service, starting with sacred self fulfillment so I spill over with abundant care for the greater good.

I will unleash the wilderness of my being, allowing myself to be ravished by beauty.

Rooted in wisdom, nature, the Divine Feminine I AM devoted to the expression and experience of freedom… living my highest contribution.

Naturally, I will get more done, produce more and be more fulfilled.

Not because I efforted, pushed, forced myself into someone’s formula or painfully ignored my rhythm to “get” there…

.. but because I resided in the truth of my design, honored my boundaries, raised my standards and unequivocally remained loyal to life giving Source.

AND SO IT IS.

With all that I am,

GROWING UP I WAS OBSESSED WITH PLEASING OTHERS (a reminding of her highest Divine offering…)

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

GROWING UP I WAS OBSESSED WITH PLEASING OTHERS.

Not because I cared about what they thought of me, but because I believed it was key to belonging and getting ahead.

Approval equaled love.

As a sensitive, I studied the art of contortion.

Appeasing their needs.
Bowing to their wants.
Shape shifting for their satisfaction.
Totally forgoing my boundaries.

I even became masterful at anticipating energy so as to avoid the gut punch of negative repercussions or to gain the praises I craved to be known through.

Looking back, I marvel at my ability to construct a world to help me get by. I’ve grieved the loss of me — how choice by choice I rejected myself in the quest to please.
~*~

My healing has been like an onion. Peeling away layer after layer.

That’s not me.
That’s not mine.
That’s not true.

Then, the rediscovering. What IS me? What IS mine? What IS true?

Now I know.

And while some voices curse me for remaining loyal to what is correct and healthy for me, I reside more than ever in the knowing that INTEGRITY IS MY WEALTH.

It began with me choosing to please me again.

To do away with the sick influences of colonization and dominator culture that keep codependence and martyrdom alive.

To listen to, trust and elevate what pleases me down to the core.

I get visits from my ‘other pleaser’. Her days of contortion are a dance of a past, yet she still longs to see people happy.

Sometimes, she forgets it’s not her job. Flinching in the face of dissatisfaction and suffering, she wonders if she just held back a bit… perhaps she’d contribute to their relief? Or, if she relinquished what pleased her… perhaps she’d make space for their fulfillment?

Her concerns are met with the love of the wise woman, nurturing her back to her center reminding her that truly… her highest Divine offering is TO PLEASE HERSELF.

With all that I am,

Kendra E Thornbury, MA

I couldn’t believe it…until I did!! *** (a mind opening reality that changes everything for the better)

HOSTILE OR FRIENDLY???

I remember deciding to play with an alternative reality.

Rather than the anxiety producing world I was taught to give my power to in which I was guarded and anticipating the demonstration of a lacking, uncaring and harsh reality, I made a decision to enter and reside in an entirely different realm.

Einstein said that the most important decision we can make is whether this is a friendly or hostile Universe. And that all other decisions spring from there.

Intuitively, I knew my decision would change everything, and…wow … did it ever!

As I began untethering from the paradigm that the Universe is hostile, I was blown away at how influential it had been on how I interpreted, felt, experienced and walked through my days.

It informed my perceptions, and so finding evidence that this was the “truth” was easy (because that’s what we do).

It was a lens I carried with such an unconscious loyalty, an assumption that it was just “the way it was”, so to discover that I could CHOOSE another route was a revelation.

Underlying beliefs in the hostile Universe are… life is against you, it places obstacles in the way, and it presents circumstances that prevent you from receiving the goodness of life.

In a hostile/unfriendly Universe, safety is in question, we have to fight for what we want, take what we can get, tolerate, compete and bolster our identities by feeling our world view is superior to the “other side”.

We judge, anticipate harm, can be skeptical about motives and fail to see the opportunity.
We allow poverty and war as a “given”.
Money is a battle of survival and power.

The operating system of the hostile Universe can also sound something like this:

  • I’m being tested
  • There’s only so much to go around
  • I have to be a good girl to be approved (and therefor belong)
  • Someone else is to blame or it’s my fault (or both!)
  • I need to be on the defense
  • I’m not supported
  • I have to work hard to get very little
  • Money is difficult, a problem and/or scarce
  • Something always goes wrong

Now, it’s worth acknowledging (so you don’t think this is a bypass philosophy) that there  are undoubtedly challenges, heart aches, losses, wounds and traumas in this human journey.

I’ve certainly had my share.

But when you shift into the friendly Universe paradigm, instead of staying helpless of victimized by adversity, you understand that it’s a dimension of experience your Soul came to expand through.

With the right support and maturation, you glean wisdom from even the darkest of times.

In a friendly Universe, you embrace that you are a beneficiary of life-giving creation.

You become a co-creator of your reality, a contributing factor to the aliveness of the greater whole and conduit through which life force flows.

You trust a Divine design and know that the intelligence of creation lives in you and naturally
elevates your supreme health, wealth and freedom. You feel backed, view your encounters as opportunity and remain rooted in a deeper security.

Here are core ways I embody the friendly Universe operating system:

* The Universe is on my side.

* The Universe is designed for life, health and abundance.

* Life doesn’t happen to me, it happens for me (A key shift from victim consciousness).

* The resources I*need to prosper, be well and succeed in my purpose are
always available and revealing to me.

* I trust everything is working in my favor.

* Good fortune and abundant flow are the way life works, and I am an expression of that life.

* The Universe is organized for my wealth and health.

* I delight in the endless ways the Universe shows me signs of my alignment.

* My desires are sacred nudges from my Soul and the Universe guiding
me to what nourishes me on all levels.

* I love the emergent Divine design of the Universe and how it uses to me in service to beauty, truth and benevolence.

* I am grateful for the unconditional riches of the Universe and its generous and plentiful provisions for my optimal well being.

* I harmonize with the nature and order of the Universe for the highest good.

* Money is energy and the Universe circulates it through my life and business on behalf of the greater good.

* Life supports me.

THE ART OF MANIFESTING MONEY comes from a friendly Universe.

More brilliance from Einstein to support better world solutions:

“For if we decide that the universe is an unfriendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to achieve safety and power by creating bigger walls to keep out the unfriendliness and bigger weapons to destroy all that which is unfriendly and I believe that we are getting to a place where technology is powerful enough that we may either completely isolate or destroy ourselves as well in this process.

But if we decide that the universe is a friendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to create tools and models for understanding that universe. Because power and safety will come through understanding its workings and its motives.”
