spiritual mentorship
“To hear her name and see her form delivers beings from every woe.”
-Lotus Sutra
She Who Hears the Cries of the World is an emanation of light and grace from the heart of the world itself. She is both the known and unknown to you. She is both mystery and mercy without any hesitation or confusion. She is infinite in her presence and particular in her response. In one gesture she frees fear and embodies union as she streams through space, gentle, fearless and endless.
She Who Hears the Cries of the World—also known as Guan Yin - the goddess of compassion—may be engaged at the beginning, the middle or the end of your journey. She is the inspiration and the beauty of being called to make the journey. And she is the culmination of your cultivation as you open more and more to a way of love in your life, discovering and ultimately emanating your true nature, the untarnished, undying source of all love.
She-Who-Hears-the-Cries-of-the-World and A Way of Love
A way of love is all about union. In union, you find no resistance to things as they are. You feel the presence of a wisdom deep and ancient even as you reckon with the limitations of your human form in this lifetime. In intimate connection with the flow of your own vitality, energy and awareness, you are invited to imagine yourself as She Who Hears the Cries of the World, embodying compassion and mercy in the form of the goddess herself. As the goddess, your own ideas of who you are and who you may become fall away. She cannot help but respond to all who ask for her support. You too, hear the cries of the world and you, too, wish to respond.
What stops you from responding fully, compassionately and freely to the cries that you hear?
Often what stops you is your idea of yourself, your idea of your limitations, your prejudice, bias or need that confuses or constrains your ability to act accurately. As you imagine yourself as the Lady of compassion, you begin to disintegrate, dissolve and deconstruct the obstacles to full expression of your wish to be of service in the world. You can begin to let go of the conditioning that has held you captive. This practice is an unparalleled method that lays to rest the created self, a self created in service to the material world, while enlivening and inviting you into the world of your true nature.
Dates for 2026 Retreats are forthcoming. Inquire below to get the dates as soon as they are confirmed.
