Liz Forrest’s Winter Newsletter (December 2, 2023)

When December arrives, I often find myself reflecting on the past year… all the experiences I had, all the people I met, all the magic moments I was part of, all the gifts and lessons I received from these experiences. I feel deeply grateful for the life I am living.

And then my heart becomes heavy about the multiple wars occurring right now, the homelessness I witness everyday and the suffering that is prevalent everywhere. Joy and grief existing simultaneously as a consistent.

I asked a group I was with recently, “How do you ‘give back’ to help or support the needs of other people in whatever cause you feel strongly about?”

There were many compassionate shares: some give money, some give time, some give items, some give service, and all give their heart-felt care, concern, and prayers.  I respect and appreciate all the ways the members of that group offer up their service and I do some of the same myself.

Something else I actively do is build community.  Community of people that are striving to live aware and conscious of all the ways we can be actively part of the Evolutionary time we are in, by taking responsibility for any old unserving beliefs and ways of being that are no longer relevant, to be open to learning and growing  continually, to be the best humans we can be. Every day.

Thank you for being part of this community   🙏🏽


I am travelling north in January, to my birthplace, the place of forests, ocean, and mountains.

I can’t wait to  smell the air in a forest of grandmother fir trees and the intoxication of the aroma of pine needles on the path  after a big rain!

I am super excited to be offering a ONE-DAY WORKSHOP IN-PERSON on Vancouver Island at Shawnigan Lake!

  • To come together to learn, practice, connect and share!
  • To celebrate being in person and in community once again!

I would love to reunite with you again or meet for the very first time in the kind of energy  and space that will  be created to explore Toltec Wisdom as brought forth by don Miguel Ruiz Sr., the renowned author of “The Four Agreements”,  Bernadette Vigil, author of “The Mastery of Awareness” a well-known teacher with the Island community and my mentor of 30 years, don Valentin Cervantes, Toltec healer and wisdom carrier.

Holiday Blessings to each of you!

With all my love,

Liz
