"Something new is stirring in our midst. Each day, more and more of us are awakening to a calling to participate in the great work of consciously evolving ourselves and our world." - Craig Hamilton

It is only by loving and accepting ourselves exactly as we are in this moment – and by allowing ourselves to know, feel, accept and receive life’s love for us, as we are --  that we make change  possible.  No matter who, what or how we are, we are infinitely lovable and absolutely worthy -- and our natural state, like the natural state of all living organisms, is a state of growth toward even fuller expression of ourselves. - Ruth L. Schwartz

[In a state of] maturity and mastery of the physical plane…we have ideally developed a healthy conscience and concern for others. We are motivated by a desire to give back to the world, offering the skills we have developed and the wisdom we have gained. We understand and work within the limitations of physicality; we shape matter in service of spirit, stewarding rather than dominating, sharing rather than hoarding. We look inwardly for guidance. We walk our talk. There is no split between who we are and what we do. – Stephanie Austin

To create, or organize, material energy, or truth, or beauty… we must learn continually to jettison the form which our labor or art or thought first took, and go in search of new forms. Over and over again we must go beyond ourselves, tear ourselves away from ourselves, leaving behind us our most cherished beginnings. -Teilhard de Chardin

Do you need tools, support and community to help you change your life - and change the world?

There is a part of you that deeply wants to evolve. That part of you holds a vision of a life - and a world -  filled with more joy, more justice, more connection to each other and to the planet. It yearns to bring that vision into being, to be a part of creating that world.

Yet if you're like most of us, you sometimes lose touch with that evolutionary impulse, and with your own wisdom, compassion and pure life energy. My work is dedicated to helping you deepen your connection to your evolutionary self.  Here, you can access the skills, support and community you need to live with more love, creativity and consciousness, moment by moment, day by day - transforming your life in ways that also radiate outward, beyond your personal sphere.

Yes, you can tap into higher consciousness and walk your talk - and honor your most radiant visions - in your everyday life! 

The formula... must satisfy two conditions. 1.  It must enable us to go beyond everything there is in the world. 2. And at the same time compel us to press forward (with conviction and passion) the development of this same world. - Teilhard de Chardin

Personal healing and creative expression are part of the picture, too. Perhaps you need help releasing old rage and distorted beliefs, retrieving lost parts of your soul and restoring energetic wholeness. If so, check out my powerful healing modality, HeartMind Integration. Perhaps you need creative mentorship to help you "bring forth what is within you" in written words, or in other ways.

If you bring forth what is within you, what is within you will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what is within you will destroy you. - Jesus Christ, as quoted in the Gnostic Gospels

Yet as we heal and create - as we fully claim our own lives and abilities - it becomes even more possible and more necessary to ask: what contributions are we here to make to this beautiful, troubled blue-green planet? How can we live in and from our deepest, wisest selves, not just for our own benefit, but to bring more healing and wholeness to the larger world?

 I'm Ruth L. Schwartz, Ph.D., and I've been asking these questions - and trying to live my way into their answers - all my life. In the process, I've written six books, worked as a professor, therapist and healer, experienced plenty of confusion and pain - and also  accessed more guidance, clarity, peace and joy than I had ever dreamed possible. My passion and mission are to teach what I've learned - and, even more importantly, to help you make your own discoveries. I believe the time is ripe for us to consciously evolve: to grow past our individual wounds and destructiveness, and step more fully into the higher, wiser, most loving aspects of who we already are.  Fortunately, the shifts in consciousness that will benefit our species also bring healing and purpose to our personal lives.

"My life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is a privilege to do for it whatsoever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is... a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment; and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." - George Bernard Shaw

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King

"There is never a time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now." - James Baldwin
