Susanne Marie ~ The Wisdom of No Escape
Most of us are initially drawn to spirituality with the understandable desire to feel better and to be released from suffering. Often, however, our desire to escape suffering creates its own bondage. The desire itself plays into the belief that something needs to be done about what we are feeling, replacing it with bliss or peace, or whatever we imagine freedom to be.

Susanne Marie offers integrated teachings in support of freedom, and the celebration of our common essence of love and unity with all life. Her teaching style is heart-centered and practical, whose focus is on supporting you in your unique awakening journey.

Shakti Caterina Maggi ~ Healing the Inner Split: Bridging the Gap between Mind and Heart ~ 2-part series
In a time marked by increasing division — between cultures, communities, families, and even within ourselves — the need for a deeper understanding of conflict has never been more urgent.
