There is a deeper truth about humanity that often gets hidden beneath the noise of the world: most people are kind. Most people care. Most people want peace, connection, and the chance to live meaningful lives.

Yet we live inside systems that constantly amplify fear, outrage, and division. When we are afraid, angry, and suspicious of one another, we become easier to control and easier to manipulate. Fear freezes the heart. It keeps us reactive rather than reflective. It keeps us fighting each other instead of questioning the structures that benefit from our division.

But the truth I see again and again — in my work, in circles, in conversations with neighbors, strangers — is that beneath the conditioning, people are far more good than we are led to believe.

When we slow down, breathe, and reconnect with our hearts, something powerful happens. We begin to see each other again. Not as enemies or labels, but as human beings navigating the same fragile and beautiful life.

The real revolution may be simpler than we think: refusing to live in fear, refusing to harden our hearts, and remembering that kindness and compassion are far more natural to us than hatred.

The more we return to the wisdom of the heart, the less power fear has over us.

We have a choice. When we step into our power as creators and shed the false programming, we break free and suddenly we are in a whole new timeline right here right now. Remember you are the one you are waiting for to manifest a happier and more peaceful life in the midst of all the distractions thar can if we are not careful pull us into lower vibrational energies.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Mark and I are so excited to introduce a new format for our programs, services, and offerings coming this spring! Our website is being redesigned as we launch this new stage of our personal and collective evolution.

I wanted to share an inventory that I created for my private Facebook Community in case you feel inspired to explore your progress on your growth journey.

Here it is:

Before we move forward, it is so important to celebrate how far we have come in our journey. Those of you who have taken the Journey of the Five Hearts/Break Free From Survival Program offered by Mariner Wellness Institute will recognize this post as the fourth dimension of our heart, called the reemerging heart.

The other ones are: the Original Heart, the Broken Heart, the Survival Heart, and the Sacred Heart. Whether you have taken the program or not (a course that helps you to come home to your heart and embody your soul's purpose), the following post focuses on celebrating the reemerging heart.

The inventory below invites us to come closer and go deeper into a celebration of ourselves and the growth we have experienced over the past year.

Take a moment to celebrate yourself! If you want to post any shares on the feed here, please do! We are all in this shift together, embodying our divine humanity in form, one breath, one step, one action, one intention at a time!

Below is the practice!

Much Love and Happy New Year!
From Marcia and Mark

A New Year’s Heart Inventory
Six Portals for Your Re-Emerging Heart
As we cross the threshold into a new year,
This is not an invitation to become better or to try harder.
It is an invitation to listen more deeply.
Before setting goals or intentions,
pause…
place a hand on your heart…
and take a breath.
This is a moment to gently take inventory —
not from the mind,
but from the wisdom of your heart.

Below are Six Portals to the Re-Emerging Heart.
Read them slowly.
Notice what feels alive, tender, or quietly calling for attention.

🌿 Portal One: Listening to Heart Intelligence
Where am I allowing my heart to lead my life?
Where am I still letting old conditioning, fear, or others’ expectations decide for me?
What sacred gifts that I bring to the world have emerged more within me?
New Year Inquiry:
What would it look like to trust my felt sense more this year?
What would it feel like to fall more in love with the beauty of who I am inside and be nourished by my original heart's divine perfection?

✨ Portal Two: Awe & Wonder
Where do I regularly experience the beauty within myself or others and life itself?
What awakens in me an experience of a more profound sense of mystery, or reverence for life?
Where have I rushed past these moments?
New Year Inquiry:
How can I intentionally invite more awe into my daily life?
If I have not experienced this portal, I deepen my self-inquiry to learn something new about myself.

💛 Portal Three: Gratitude
What am I already deeply grateful for — even if it came through challenge?
Where do I forget to pause and acknowledge what is working?

New Year Inquiry:
What might change if gratitude became a daily practice?
If it already IS a daily practice, what does that feel like in my body? I allow myself to linger longer in that place to be nourished by my heart of gratitude. ( Journal your answers to embody the feelings more.)

❤️ Portal Four: Receiving Love Fully
How does love show up for me?
Do I allow myself to receive it — or do I minimize, deflect, or push it away?
New Year Inquiry:
What would it mean to say a fuller “yes” to love this year?
How can I create safety for myself so that my heart can open more to love?

🌊 Portal Five: Compassionate Awareness
Where do I notice judgment — toward myself or others?
Can I sense the unmet need or pain beneath it?

New Year Inquiry:
What would shift if I met myself and others with more curiosity and compassion?

🌱 Portal Six: Honoring the Small Steps
What microsteps have I taken this year that I feel invited to celebrate?
Do I acknowledge my growth — or only focus on how far I still have to go?
Do I celebrate my willingness and courage?
New Year Inquiry:
What is alive in me as I practice honoring and celebrating my growth?

✨ Closing Reflection
As you feel into these portals, notice:
Which one is asking for your attention right now?
That portal doesn’t need to be fixed.
It simply wants to be met.
Let this be your focus for the new year —
not a resolution,
but a relationship with your Re-Emerging Heart.

May this be a year of deepening into the power of your heart
and coming home to yourself in more profound ways!
💛

Mark and I just returned from Costa Rica, where we spent time at a rainforest sanctuary called Goddess Falls, a breathtaking retreat space spanning more than 200 acres. It was a deeply lush, immersive forest experience. We spent five nights glamping in an absolutely stunning settimg.

We were blessed to journey with two Peruvian female Maestras from the Shipibo tribe—an Indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon. Their lineage is one of the oldest and most respected in the ayahuasca tradition. Shipibo healers often begin training as children, entering long diets with master plants, spending extended periods in jungle isolation, and undergoing deep apprenticeships. They learn to sing icaros—songs channeled from plant spirits—and master the skills required to navigate and protect ceremonial space. The Shipibo work with a vast range of plants, and their connection to the natural world is profound.

To receive their medicine and wisdom was truly life-changing—a gift of a lifetime. We feel so blessed to have shared this five-day retreat with them.

We’re already looking forward to returning to this retreat center next year to offer our own retreat to those we are blessed to serve. Let us know if you would like to be on the list for this and other upcoming retreats or programs we are offering.

Here is a practice to stay centered in challenging times


Even when life feels uncertain, your heart knows the way home.
The Reemerging Heart rises when we choose to stay centered — to breathe, soften, and return to love instead of being swept up in fear or negative perception.

Every challenge is an invitation to remember our true nature — radiant, wise, and infinitely connected. EVERY challenge, not just some of them!

When your mind begins to spiral or the outer world feels heavy:
Pause. Place your hands on your heart.( STOP, DROP, AND SHIFT INTO YOUR HEART CENTER as many times a day as you need to. The more you practice this, the more masterful you become at living in heart coherence.)
Take a slow, conscious breath.
Feel your heart expand with compassion.
Whisper to yourself, "I choose to receive compassion for myself and send it out to all beings."

Our breath clears the static.
Our compassionate heart restores coherence. This heals us and the collective.

As we breathe, we dissolve the stories that limit our perception of our power, and with each breath we can choose to return to our luminous center — the field of grace where peace, clarity, and divine intelligence flow.

Keep choosing to see through the eyes of love and embody your Reemerging Heart.
Keep breathing yourself back into remembering and reconnecting with the truth of who you are.

This eight-session course empowers women to break free from survival functioning and accelerate healing, self-discovery, and spiritual growth.

They are burning out from patterns that do not serve their highest good, tired of excessive self-sacrifice, and living lukewarm lives. They are ready to grow in self-love and put their well-being first. They want to discover and actualize their soul's purpose. They also seek connection with like-spirited visionary women who empower one another to take charge of their lives and break free from survival.

During the call, I will present a PowerPoint Presentation of this program called Break Free From Survival™ - A Course To Discover Your Soul's Purpose. You will also hear about past participants' transformational experiences after enrolling in the Break Free From Survival™ program.

Here is the schedule:

It takes so much courage to say YES to love, especially yes to our OWN love for ourselves FIRST.

Unconditional positive regard for ALL the parts of ourselves is the foundation we must build within if we are to confidently navigate through the challenges on the earth plane.

Life is constantly changing. How to we flow through the changes with more trust, faith in the life within us, with more ease,and grace?

By practicing the art of unconditionalself love.

This means cultivating a kind allowing of slll we experiences, releasing old narratives, expanding our spiritual vision, understanding how energy works, developing more witnessing presence to ourselves and intentionally cultivating loving kindness towards all we experience no matter what energies show up within us or in our outer world.

Self love skills and practices, when developed and mastered, open up the gateway to experience more love, more freedom, more meaning, more joy, and more serenity, more forgiveness, more healing in our daily lives.

Self love skills can be developed and refined. What’s more important than feeling so in love with ourselves that we naturally radiate that to others?

It all starts with making a decision to love ourselves no matter what and never looking back. In time, self love becomes a new normal. And then we put our hands in the air, celebrate, and LIVE our lives,no longer settling for just surviving.

(Message me if you want to learn about a new self love sisterhood circle forming where we will devote ourselves to loving ourselves and one another back to our original magnificence and beyond.)
