A Virtual Workshop:
Living a Disease-Threatening Life

Anne Lamott in Traveling Mercies: "Rick is the editor of Yoga Journal. He moved in with his girlfriend at the far end of our street a few years ago, and about ten minutes later was diagnosed with lung cancer... I read an interview he did for a Buddhist quarterly... he said he's so savoring the moments of his life right now, so acutely aware of love and small pleasures, he no longer feels he has a life-threatening disease; he now says he's leading a disease-threatening life."

The Book Shelf - Books and articles about holistic approaches to chronic and life-threatening illness. 

Life-Enhancing Practices - How to let go of harmful practices, free up healing energy, improve your relationships, balance your life.

Buddhism & The Enneagram - The journey along our spiritual paths is automatically enhanced when we recognize both the self-fulfilling and self-defeating aspects of the illusory masks we call "personality."  

Poems of Transformation - "...we, growing younger toward death every day, would gather all our flaws in celebration..."   "Birth, not death, is the hard loss..." "I am a thousand winds that blow..."
