10 Memorable Awakin Calls Of 2018
Jan 01, 2019, 5 comments, 22 smiles
As this year winds to a close, volunteers suggested that it might be fun for me to do a post with excerpts/nuggets from 10 memorable Awakin Calls of this past year. The idea resonated, so here is my list.
Needless to say, these 10 were rather difficult to choose since there is something resonant or meaningful in almost every call we’ve had. And as all members of the Awakin Calls scribe and editing team can attest -- as we spend a lot of time soaking in these calls, even the calls that first seem to be at the outer limits of our sphere of interest unveil some talisman, that we then hold on to, for nourishment. So with that caveat in place (and the invitation to please spend some time at the site browsing randomly till something calls to you) -- here is a list, from my lens :)

Dear ServiceSpace family,
I thought I'd write a quick note to celebrate the fact that once again, the scribe team's collective labor of love has borne fruit, and we have yet another beautiful transcript of a call, one with Lobsang Phuntsok, former Buddhist monk and founder of Jhamste Gatsal children's community, posted onto the Awakin Calls site.
If any of you wish for a healthy dose of irrepressible, joyous laughter this holiday season, blended to perfection with humility and insight, I strongly recommend that you listen to this call!
Here is one hilarious and wise nugget from this call that has stayed with me -- When Lobsang was asked about his personal grounding practises: "Honestly, one thing that I could say is I do put a lot of effort. Every day, I take at least an hour and a half to two hours, to sit quietly in my room, reflect, and to do ... Read Full Story
Nuggets From Clare Dubois's Call
Jul 17, 2018, 2 comments, 5 smiles
Clare Dubois is the founder of TreeSisters.org, a women’s crowd-funding and consciousness-shift campaign to inspire women towards the reforestation of the tropics and shared leadership around ecological restoration. TreeSisters reflects Clare’s exploration of the links between feminine consciousness and Nature’s intelligence. It is currently funding over 1.7 million trees across Kenya, Madagascar, India, Brazil, Cameroon and Nepal. Clare founded TreeSisters after a car crash that delivered a life changing message – it was revealed to her that the tropics needed to be reforested within 10 years – that women were the missing piece in the climate change crisis – and that feminine consciousness needed to be reinstated. Her primary work is in the creation of processes, tools, courses, and messaging that can access the nature-connected essence of woman and activate new forms of leadership.
Some of the nuggets that stood out from the call:

Nuggets From Myron Eshowsky's Call
Jul 15, 2018, 4 smiles
Myron Eshowsky is a mediator, shamanic healer, and community trauma healer. Author of Peace with Cancer: Shamanism as a Spiritual Approach to Healing, he was the first to be covered by a U.S. health insurance plan specifically for spiritual healing. Watching his own father struggle with and ultimately succumb to cancer deepened his commitment to explore the spiritual, physical, and environmental terrains of illness. Born with congenital severe hearing loss, he spent years developing and recognizing skills for being in the hearing world -- and came to appreciate how much the skill of listening is core to the process of peacemaking and healing. He listens with his heart and something he calls intuition. In the healing practice he conducts, he listens to what is going on in this world and also to the other world, the spirit realm that requires a type of going in and connecting where he hears ...
