By Debra Basham, on June 13, 2024 Retreat Musings June 12, 2024
Today is the last day of this retreat with Barbara Brodsky and John Orr. I was blessed to stay in the guest quarters at the home of my dear friends, Delcy and Tom Kuhlman.
The title of this week is “Living Our True Nature as Love: Vipassana, […]
By Debra Basham, on February 22, 2024 It is this disinterested but completely allowing contemplation of the body in the world that the body loses its ‘me-ness’ and the world loses its ‘not-me-ness.’ In this way bodily sensations no longer cry out ‘I am separate, I am exclusively you” and perceptions of the world no longer cry out, ‘I am separate, […]
By Debra Basham, on March 31, 2023 When you cease to relate to the darkness as something separate or other than the light, this invites the darkness into its sacred expression.

On Tuesday evening at the […]
By Debra Basham, on November 5, 2022 The 8-day silent meditation retreat will take more than one Yellow Brick Road to share with readers.

~ Glennon Doyle Melton
I watched an interview in which Glennon Doyle Melton reported an experience of going to the zoo and watching the “cheetah run” with her […]
By Debra Basham, on April 9, 2022 If what I say resonates with you, it’s because we are both branches of the same tree.
~ W. B. Yeats
I’m not a “follower” of astrology, but MANY years ago something occurred that led me to respect the wisdom there.
Decades ago now, driving home on a snowy day, the roads were glare […]
By Debra Basham, on March 9, 2022 Last evening’s Group 2 was only five of us out of thirteen. I am not sure what qualifies as a quorum, but I am sure all thirteen of us were actively involved in the practice of LIFE.
Our meeting times were set at the first of the year but the evening before our meeting […]
By Debra Basham, on October 13, 2021 From my journal entry of an exercise during class on mediumship with Barbara Brodsky:
