SLOW DOWN
We rarely give ourselves permission to pause. Yet it is in the pausing that we discover what matters most. Daremore offers many doorways into that pause — through books, film, and events. Soul Echoes, Unfolding, and the documentary Showing Up are each an invitation to slow down, drop in, and dare to live more fully from your own center.
DROP IN
Wednesday, October 7, 2026- We are stepping away from the chatter of daily life, something essential. Paintings, Poetry, and Pausing is an intimate afternoon at the Art Institute of Chicago — three selected paintings paired with poems from Soul Echoes, guided by poet Nancy J. Hill and Art Institute lecturer Gigi Vaffis. The afternoon continues across the street at Russian Tea Time for private tea, poetry, and open conversation. Spaces are limited. Details on the Programs page.
DARE MORE
Daring to push past what we think is safe or acceptable brings aliveness to our days. It brings challenges! Each month this blog offers explorations into what is possible. It asks you to discover your daring edge. It is found where comfort meets possibility.
A bold life requires we connect with the deepest places at our core and attend to them with reverence. It takes courage to trust our longings and act on them. That is how we find our growing edge.
