Coffee shop spirituality

- June 11, 2026

I had been travelling in Asia and just returned home. I felt deeply dissatisfied with my journey. The wisdom I had hoped to find in India simply did not materialize. Instead, I was struck by the extreme inequality within the cultures, the underlying hierarchies of class and race—and by the lack of genuine knowledge and guidance among many of the teachers I encountered. Soon after returning, I met with The River, a channeled fellowship of beings who gather with the intention of supporting humanity’s evolution during these tumultuous times. For approximately thirty years, beginning in 1984, they were accessed through a deep trance medium. They remain available to those who seek their guidance through prayer and intention. As therapy for the ennui I felt after my international travel, they suggested that for the next fourteen days, I go to a local coffee shop and speak with a stranger every day. I was to notice people, events and environment during my in...

Opening the Self to Who You Truly Are

- June 02, 2026

Last night my husband and I went ‘out’. That is, we attended a film showing in a downtown theatre. The trailer looked good, it was another in a long series of sequels about a sci fi dystopian future. I had high expectations for the film, I had seen the first episodes in the 1970’s and loved them. Luckily it was Cheap Tuesday so our tickets were relatively cheap, but popcorn and root beer was the price of breakfast with coffee. We wanted to support the local movie house. I still love sitting in the dark with a bunch of strangers and enjoying a drama together. It is a way to be together but safely apart. As we muched on our popcorn and sipped the nose bubbled drink, I wondered-how much longer will we able to have civilized gatherings like this, where people know how to behave. No cells phones, no one talking to their friends about trivia, no kids having hissy fits because life isn’t exactly what they were expecting. While we were waiting, I enjoyed a polite sense of ‘we’. One min...

Chapter 23 Recovery from the suicide of a loved one

- May 17, 2026

This is an except from a longer session from the channelled fellowship of the River. This fellowship channelled through a medium for about thirty years. They are still present to those who wish to contact them. The whole of this session will appear in the River Books: Book Two- All knowledge is within, All knowledge is Without (due to be published in September 2026). A more extensive exploration of their sessions can be found in the first River book-The River Books: Book One-Three Soul Paths https://www.amazon.ca/River-Books-Three-Soul-Paths/dp/B0GCDMWVV7/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 I include this excerpt because so many people in these difficult times are choosing suicide, either overtly or in ways that appear to be unintentional. his act leaves ripples of intense grief, loss and confusion, especially around questions of ‘why?’. This session was particularly significant to me because for many years following the death of my first husband, I believed that he had taken his ...

Chapter 21 Reconnect to Authentic Self to Heal Physical Exhaustion

- May 10, 2026

M couldn’t get a good nights sleep, she had chronic fatigue and a lack of motivation. She went to bed exhausted but couldn’t stay asleep, waking up often from vivid dreams and then not being able to return to sleep. When she became almost psychotic from lack of sleep, M reached out to a physician who prescribed medications for her thyroid. The side effects made the condition worse and that was when she called me to ask the River for help. As I have stated before, holistic health is a superior method to treat illnesses. I envision the day when patients sit in a circle with several practitioners of different specialties and the case is discussed, diagnosed, and treatments suggested from a variety of perspectives. Let’s imagine a therapy case study with a physician, physio therapist, pharmacist, psychotherapist and spiritual counselor. This method leads to the primary cause and therefore is the path towards holistic healing, not just addressing symptoms, with all the a...

Chapter 20 Healing Old and Future Anger

- May 03, 2026

This session continues with transcripts from the channeled fellowship called the River. This is a group of beings who gathered to give us teachings about how to heal and evolve. I hope this session about old and future anger is helpful. Please let me know in the comments. This was a powerful and prescient session because years later, I was invited to work in a pain clinic as a therapist. Through a plant medicine session, who later became a teacher for me also- I learned that my task was not so much to alleviate pain, but to help the patient find meaning in the pain. This is not from an attitude of ‘suck it up buttercup”, but a compassionate view of-given that in this moment your body is having these sensations, can we find a way to go back to the root of the pain? In my experience, cancer is usually linked with old anger. (See Julia Star’s Blog site https://longboatcounselling.blogspot.com/ for the article about my brush with cancer.) I find it interesting that the River l...
