I think this year speaks volumes about RESILIENCE. Resilience is your innate ability to rise to the occasion. Whatever the occasion is. It’s the spiritual nature of life that delivers to you unseen abilities in the exact moment that you need them. I know for a lot of us this year has served up plenty of surprises, losses, and unimaginable circumstances. Some so unimaginable that if you could have imagined them you would surely believe you couldn’t survive them. But you do.
Resilience is a gift we all carry, and it is at the ready when we need it. With that in mind, you can relax with what the New Year will bring and put your attention on what you would like to explore in 2021. What would you like to play with? I’m going to spend some time considering what would plump my heart and what are the qualities of a life well lived. These things will be put in my recipe for a meaningful 2021.
I would like to express my deep appreciation to each of you for participating in so many great events and conversations this year. I hope the New Year greets you with a big smile!
I hope you’re feeling strong and vibrant. Are you planning your holidays, celebrating the Festival of Lights, or readying to launch a fresh new year?
I hope you’ll take a break this Friday, December 18th at noon CST, 10am PST, 1pm EST to join in the conversation, Drawing a Line in the Sand, When will finding fault in yourself no longer be an option? It will be a rich conversation that could add to the gifts you give yourself this holiday season or what you want to include in your New Year reset. Please register in advance to attend. https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMudO2tqzsuHNcFRA7APDfI0bGRtggTgB-t
It’s been a full year with more highs, lows, and changes then previously experienced. I hope you’ll include yourself on your gift-giving list by gifting yourself large doses of love, acceptance, and compassion.
I look forward to seeing you on the call this Friday!
It’s September! What a surprise to be approaching a change of seasons. I hope you’re doing well and easily navigating what’s in front of you to do.
In my coaching practice, clients have been asking questions about the bombardment of news they’re presented with. The questions are similar to these:
What do you do with all the bad news coming at you every day?
The load of bad news feels overwhelming. What do you do?
Do you have any tips on this?
In response to these questions, I’ve decided to do a webinar on just this topic. Would you like to bring your lunch, coffee or tea and let’s talk about it? We’ll meet on Zoom this Friday, August 4th at noon Central, 10am Pacific, 11 Mountain, 6pm UK, 7pm Paris.
I’ll share information that will support you and answer any questions you have. Invite your friends, colleagues, or anyone you feel would benefit from this conversation.
Welcome to summer! I hope your days are full of hope and promise.
This Friday, June 19th (noon CDT, 10 PDT, 1pm EDT, 7pm Paris) I’m having a free webinar on relationships. In my practice the topic of relationships always comes up. Every type of relationship: existing relationships, past relationships, work relationships, a desire for a relationship, and the relationship with your Self are all hot topics.
Please join me and my guest, Del-Adey Jones, Divorce and Relationship Coach (https://www.deladeyjones.com/) as we have an insightful conversation on a hot topic!
Life is living in relationship with it all! Hope to see you on the call.
Saying YES to Life. Little did I know that I have been doing this, in a big way, for the past 6 years. It wasn’t as conscious to me then as it is now. Now I see that something larger than my mind has been slamming my hand on the YES button to some extreme invitations that I just couldn’t wrap my head. As a result, my world has expanded beyond my wildest imagination. In more ways than I could list in this message.
Some of the invitations I mentioned were so extreme that they pushed every ‘NO WAY’ button, belief, and understanding I held to be true about how life works. I shake my head and laugh today because I really believed the answer was NO to these opportunities. These things really did NOT look or feel possible for me. They weren’t even part of what I could see for myself in the biggest vision on the biggest vision board. I couldn’t have been more off the mark.
That is why I’m so excited about the new program that has been birthed from this exploration, Level-Up: Saying YES to Life. This is a 4 month group coaching program that will give you an opportunity to gain understanding, to see opportunities, to get real support in saying YES to living a bigger life, and having a richer experience of life. The group will be small with a maximum of 8 participants. This program offers you both individual and community support.
Wouldn’t it be grand… to greet the New Year with confidence, courage, and an abiding sense of ease?
But holy cow, is that really a thing?
Actually, it is!
Even if you’ve been grappling for years with the persistent sense that you just don’t know how to get life right, you can discover in yourself a wise, creative, and compassionate guide.
You can wake up to your own creative process, a process that is both mysterious and utterly reliable. When understood, trusting the process is not even an issue.
Yup, it’s possible, even when you think you’re your biggest barrier to self-expression. Even when you have a history of getting in the way of what you want to create where you want to move in the world.
Welcome to Reboot Your Life, a “Do It at Home”
Creative Immersion Retreat with Cherie Ray and Molly Gordon
Reboot Your Life is a deep dive into the creative spirit that you know lives inside of you but that sometimes seems ridiculously elusive. It’s designed to show you how you are designed to reboot effortlessly.
Join us, and greet the New Year with fresh inspirations and ideas custom tailored to who you a really are, what you really care about, and how life really works.
Learn about innate creative process–a creative process that is built into your human operating system.
Get a handle on the ways human beings get in their own way (we all do it) and discover the super simple key to getting out of the way. (When you see this, trusting theprocess–your process–isn’t even an issue.)
And do it all from the comfort of your own home, studio, or office–while enjoying the support and inspiration of a like-minded community.
Won’t you join us to make space for the full-bodied experience of a rich and fertile 2018?
How it works
Reboot Your Life is a virtual retreat. That means you can participate from your own home, office, or studio. The retreat runs from Thursday through Saturday, December 28, 29, and 30, 2017. Before we begin, you get an individual coaching session with Cherie or Molly to clarify your intentions.
During the retreat, we will begin each day with a virtual retreat community gathering at 8:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (10am Central Standard Time) using Zoom. Zoom is a free videoconferencing platform you can use on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. You can even join by phone, if you prefer.
By the way, this is strictly a come as you are happening. We plan to show up in pajamas, paint-stained coveralls, or whatever is easy, and we hope you will too.
We’ll meet for an hour to an hour and a half–long enough to connect, share insights into the innate creative process, and address whatever might seem to be in your way.
Then you play. Experiment. Create. Dream. Nap.
Reboot.
We come together again in the afternoon at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (4pm Central Standard Time) for another community retreat gathering. You’ll have time to share your insights and breakthroughs and ask for what you need moving forward.
After the retreat is over you get two coaching sessions, one each with Cherie and Molly, to integrate your creative insights and vision into your life and work.
And throughout the retreat you can pop into the Reboot Your Life Facebook group to share insights, breakthroughs, and connect with the community.
Here’s a summary
30-minute individual intake session with Cherie or Molly.
Do-it-at-home retreat December 28-30, 2017.
Daily Zoom sessions at 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time.
Come as you are! We will.
Each Zoom session will be 60-90 minutes. We will give everyone ample time to check in and explore new possibilities, and we won’t keep you in a Zoom session when you’d rather be creating or relaxing (or both!).
A Reboot Your Life Facebook group where you can connect throughout the retreat.
Two follow-up coaching sessions.
Reboot Your Life is for folks who:
Are eager to step into the new year with a fresh vision of possibility, and may doubt their ability to realize that vison.
Would love to trust the process, but wonder how that actually works. Is it realistic?
Are tired of feeling they are lacking something and ready to discover that they have what it takes to be successful and joyful in life.
Sense that much more is possible but for their limiting beliefs.
Gain fresh insight into the human operating system
Believe it or not, you and every human being on the planet were designed to thrive. To create. To receive and follow custom-tailored guidance.
We’re betting that sometimes it looks that way to you, too. Even if it has been years since you last really trusted your creative self, something in you knows it’s there.
Knows that it is infinitely resourceful.
And longs to experience and express it more fully.
That’s what Reboot Your Life is all about.
What you can expect from Reboot Your Life
A fuller, deeper, more grounded understanding of how your creative process actually works.
What it really means and why it just makes sense to “make space” for what naturally wants to occur.
A new relationship with negativity and doubt or other persistent barriers to creating what you want.
Setting aside time to give yourself the time and space to get oriented to possibilities that lurk just out of your everyday awareness.
Wrapping up the year and launching the new year with a good feeling.
And doing it in a supportive creative community.

Here’s what we want for you
Comfort with and confidence in the not obvious naturalness of creativity.
A sense of “go for it” possibility with ease and spaciousness; we want you to really see that there is nothing to lose.
A sense of going from your concept of creative freedom to a felt sense of freedom.
A fresh perspective on the many depths and layers of the idea that that there’s a right way to do something.
Release from the myth that the “right way” will bring the desired outcome.
Permission: Most of us live with a restricted sense of permission. Let’s open that up!
An appreciation for how much BS we tend to make up between inspiration and engagement. This has massive implications for creative productivity and follow through.
The ability to explore in a supportive community where you can voice inspiration and bring it to light when it is still young and tender.
