The Beauty Way is derived from Hózhó, the Navajo word for the concept of living in a holistic environment of Beauty, Balance, Harmony, and Well-Being.
This Beauty Way is to be aware and attuned to the essence of Beauty, not to particular forms or superficial aesthetics. The Beauty Way cultivates the skillful means of awareness, intention, community, spiritual practice, and ceremony. These nourish and support us as we walk this path together.
Walking the Beauty Way is the action of living harmoniously with all of Life as it is unfolding; to live in harmony with the Divine, with the natural world, with our own self, with our loved ones, and with our communities.
I am deeply grateful for the illumination offered by so many sacred world religious and spiritual traditions. I am grateful for this indigenous wisdom and their deep understanding of the Beauty Way.
These illuminations have inspired my intention in developing and offering the Walking the Beauty Way Circle — to honor the original wisdom that inspired me.
What I Know About The Beauty Way
For over 50 years I have witnessed the healing power of Beauty to transform individuals and communities.
Here’s what I know:
- A life without Beauty is soul-crushing and toxic for the mind and body.
- Beauty is a human need.
- Beauty is a balm, an elixir for the body, mind, and spirit.
- Cultivating Beauty is a practice that brings spiritual unfoldment.
- Beauty is good for what ails you!
- Beauty is a Light in the Heart.
I am a SoulCollage® Facilitator with 25 years of experience leading spirituality circles. For 50 years I have engaged consciously with the Neter (energy or essence) of Beauty. I have witnessed the healing, transformative power of Beauty in my own life and in the lives of my community and students.
I have been a meditator and meditation teacher in the Kriya Yoga lineage for over 15 years. Since 2016, I have brought the wisdom of Walking the Beauty Way to small circles, on retreat, and in one-to-one mentoring.
Today some feel called to bring the healing energy of Beauty out to the many souls struggling in the stormy seas of our chaotic, divided world.
Today (June, 2020), my work is to mentor those called to embody this deep well of wisdom, by guiding an online circle — the Walking the Beauty Way Circle. I invite you to join us!
May you walk in beauty all the days of your life.
I have always been drawn to this way of life. As an artist, I have felt if I could create beautiful images, people would see the beauty. I follow a nature and spirituality path, and it provides beauty and a wealth of gratitude. I love your site. It is the first time I am seeing it.
I’ve only just discovered The Beauty Way and it feels well… beautiful.
