INSPIRATION
Impressions from last week’s meditation retreat with Thomas Hübl and the Core Group
There were 380 participants in person in the Netherlands and 140 joining online. It was an honor to be part of the Core Group Team, sharing deeply transformative sessions with many incredible souls. To serve and support our community while engaging in profound meditations has brought me to a deeper alignment with my purpose and my soul.
Having walked the spiritual path for many years, and serving as a trauma therapist, it feels like these two threads have now woven into the very essence of my life’s purpose.
“If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.” — Buddha
This quote captures the essence of what I felt throughout the retreat—a precious gift has been seeded in my soul, awakening and blossoming. Through the sessions I held, I could feel my wisdom flow, supported by the vast, open space that is both what I come from and what I truly am.
One of the most powerful moments was connecting with the pulse of the Earth. It was a visceral experience—feeling the Earth’s rhythm resonate through my body and bones, deeply touching my heart. I realized this pulse streams through everything. All life has a beat, vibrating with the frequency of sound. I am the Earth.
The Earth itself feels like a magnificent, highly developed being, containing all forms within its spherical shape, including us. How beautiful is that! I also realized that the Earth is emitting its own unique frequency into the universe, a symphony of all hearts combined, and more. Yet, to hear the full transmission of the Earth, we must include all sounds and frequencies that it experiences. In that moment, all I felt was humility, as I could only notice the vastness of what I was excluding.
As my teacher Thomas says, “We can’t include everything; we can only notice what we are excluding.”
I take these insights with me, allowing them to guide my daily life, letting the seeds of this experience grow into the movement of life, what they are truly meant to be.

The Inspirational History of Inspiration
Inspiration has an unusual history in that its figurative sense appears to predate its literal one. It comes from the Latin inspiratus (the past participle of inspirare, “to breathe into, inspire”) and in English has had the meaning “the drawing of air into the lungs” since the middle of the 16th century. This breathing sense is still in common use among doctors, as is expiration (“the act or process of releasing air from the lungs”). However, before inspiration was used to refer to breath it had a distinctly theological meaning in English, referring to a divine influence upon a person, from a divine entity; this sense dates back to the early 14th century. The sense of inspiration often found today (“someone or something that inspires”) is considerably newer than either of these two senses, dating from the 19th century.

Here is a short excerpt of what moves me at the moment.
A Lovely Inner Garden
When you release your burdens,
you start planting
the seeds of your healing.
You start gardening your heart
and turn it into fertile soil.
Be patient.
Don’t force the change.
Growth and healing are delicate siblings
that cannot be separated.
They come slowly.
It will take time
to see growth inside your heart
and admire the vibrant flowers
that you planted within.
Stay peaceful every day.
Stay attuned to your healing,
and enjoy the privilege

Chapter 21
The Master keeps her mind
always at one with the Tao;
that is what gives her her radiance.
The Tao is ungraspable.
How can her mind be at one with it?
Because she doesn’t cling to ideas.
The Tao is dark and unfathomable.
How can it make her radiant?
Because she lets it.
Since before time and space were,
the Tao is.
It is beyond is and is not.
How do I know this is true?
I look inside myself and see.
