Poems of Remembering
“Writing poetry is a way for me to gather, into safekeeping, moments that have brought me into deep presence.
For me it is an act of listening, an extension of hearing the Mystery.
I hope these poems offer you some company ~ on the days that feel hard as well as the ones that feel beautiful.”
- Jessie Phoenix
life is immense.
The range of experiences we encounter - the trials that we endure - are both collective and personal.
While some of what touches us will inspire and empower, other things will block and hinder.
Finding our way through difficult times often requires us to forge a new and unfamiliar path; to cultivate our capacity to meet the unknown with curiosity, creativity and compassion.
This is where I want to meet you.

"Woah! Tonight was everything!!"
I found that in offering myself curious, loving, grace-filled space and acceptance for what was present and uncomfortable, it just miraculously shifted my shit!!
Soooooo many amazing gems tonight. I now have more clarity about what I experienced.

"Sitting (and dancing) in ceremony with Jessie has changed my life."
It has connected me with the deep wisdom already in my body, in the seasons, and the land. It has reminded me of my birthright--that I am child of this Earth: born of love, held in love, cherished by love.

“I am so grateful to have been able to take this course.”
The tools provided are ones that everyone and anyone can benefit from to help live a more present and compassionate life. Not only are these skills amazing for personal growth and awareness of one's own emotions, they also help frame experiences of others in a more compassionate light.

"I cannot speak highly enough of this course."
Jessie has taken a challenging, abstract concept and broken it down into steps that each of us can practice at our own speed long after completing the course. What I have learned has already been beneficial to my daily life, and the classes were really fun!

"This course helped me with a new perspective that I found very helpful."
I’ve done a lot of talk therapy and hit a bit of a plateau. This course helped me with a new perspective that I found very helpful. I also enjoyed discovering that I am not alone in how I’m feeling. The hardest part was realizing this is a practice and not a quick fix, the success is in the practice.
