Spiritual integrity involves continually turning towards the discovery that we are conduits of hope, freedom and joy. It involves trusting and listening to what is divine in ourselves. Developing spiritual integrity involves growing beyond feelings of distance and separation. Being sure not to project our understanding of right and wrong onto everyone else’s experience is actually a statement of humility and faith.

Self-healing rejects what is low and hurtful; reverses what is not joy. It exchanges denial and hatred for hope and love; it means abandoning our deep distrust, and listening for joy. 

Experiencing… feeling … trusting … allowing … and receiving… all these produce higher-centered feelings. When you can feel in the moment, it leads to real love of self and others.

This is freedom: seeing how to transition from a life with dwindling hope to a world in which freedom connects with both empathy and power. When they connect, we have hope.

Getting joy moving in our bodies, we gain the powers to experience everything as more beautiful. Joy is in us at all times. The first quality of joy is serenity, the peace that comes from listening. The second quality of joy is a vital action: transfiguration. This metamorphosis happens when something changes form into a more beautiful state. 

It means seeing things as more beautiful. But there is something more: it is a promise of what is to come. Our goal is to directly experience it. The spiritual work of transfiguration is metamorphosis, which in humans is essentially the start of change. 

Spirit is sentience, the accessibility of emotion and intellect, and our own unique ability to be self-aware.

A workshop with Richard is a (re)connection to yourself, to your inner child, to your soul. Above all, it's about integrating it into your daily life and quickly realizing the benefits. Working with Richard is a moment suspended in time and space, where kindness, awakening and liberation are the watchwords, and where you're bound to feel at home.

A word of caution: As important as self-care, coaching, and self-healing are, they never replace any circumstance where there is urgent need for medical attention, professional therapy, or trained mental care workers.
