Any genuine initiation requires a maturation of our being and stepping more fully into our robust identity, rooted in soul. We must become immense, capable of welcoming all that arrives at the gateway to the heart.
Francis Weller, psychotherapist, author, and soul activist,
from the preface of Choosing Earth
“Francis had a hard time believing me when I told him that there’s only one person on this planet that I would ask to write a preface to my book, and that’s you. I knew him well enough to feel it was a good request. And the preface that he came back with was so amazing. He said afterwards it was the hardest thing he ever wrote. As he entered into it, he went through an initiation in writing it. He captures the idea that initiation is never about the individual. The role of initiation is not to serve the individual person as it is the larger community of life.”
