Sunday Smoothies ~ Cherry Cheesecake Smoothie

SEPTEMBER 11, 2016

This has become a favorite smoothie!
I made it my own by changing out some of the ingredients,
which you can also do!
Here is what I did.
I added fresh ground flax seeds and white chia seeds,
I used collagen powder instead of protein powder,
I added the whole 1/2 lemon, including the rind and pulp, for more texture and vitamins,
and I substituted part of the coconut milk with my homemade cashew milk.
It is truly delicious.

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
