We are in this together…

Posted on by Lucia Soppe

So much is happening, shifting, changing, coming to the surface. So much potential for growth and transformation. So much pain that is triggered, brought up, re-experienced, wanting to be dealt with, wanting to be avoided……. so many different blueprints for so many different people.

One of the oldest “us-versus-them” themes is men and women on opposite sides. I firmly belief that currently we are in one of the biggest shifts of that “reality” possible. However, that’s uncomfortable. Moving out of one stage into the next, is not always an easy one. It can get messy. And yes, messy is what we currently have.

Assault, dis-respect, rape, mansplaining, bullying, it’s all in our face right now. The question is – can we stick together and shift it? Again, my firm belief is that we can – AND it requires all parties to be involved to create the change we want to see. There are people who will be front-runners in this process and there will be people who are lagging behind. We all will have to do this at our own pace. And be at peace with that pace.

So I hope that we can be patient with each other and our processes. I hope we can be involved and engaged. Men: ask the women in your life how they are currently doing. (spoiler alert – most women are triggered by what is happening and that can be hard to share). It means the world to most women to have the men in their lives show their care, compassion and attempt at understanding. Women; engage with each other, support each other, and invite/allow your loved men into your process. Yes, that can be scary and uncomfortable, and there is always a gift waiting on the other side.

Sending much love to you all.

*Love is the answer*

I’m sorry……….

Posted on by Lucia Soppe

I find myself thinking about this phrase recently – it’s been coming up a lot. However it’s not coming up in the “regular” sense – I’m using it a lot, but I’m not apologizing for actions/words. I’m using it as an acknowledgement and an honoring of what the other person is saying/going through. Here’s the definition by Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sorry

Being a highly intuitive person, I have a sense of how things are beyond what may appear at the surface. I know what’s “underneath”, “beyond”, “hidden” etcetera. That means that I’m aware of things others may not be aware of. One of my challenges is that I don’t think that others don’t “know” what I “know”……. it takes conscious remembering on my end to realize that what’s apparent to me is not necessarily that way to someone else. Then when what was “hidden” comes to the surface and is right there for everyone to see – I say “I’m sorry”………… I’m sorry I was right / I’m sorry that it’s uncomfortable / I’m sorry you didn’t see this coming / I’m sorry it feels that way / I’m sorry it is this way.

I’m not apologizing for any of it – but it’s a heart-felt acknowledgement that what the other person is experiencing at that moment is unsettling and uncomfortable. It appears that sometimes people do not hear that; they think I’m apologizing and they don’t want me to (because it’s clear I haven’t done anything “wrong”). Maybe because people are raised to say they are sorry (when in reality maybe they’re not?) from childhood on. And in that context it is all about having done something “wrong”.

It’s an interesting dynamic and I wonder if it’s related to language differences – English being my 2nd language – hence maybe I use it differently. Communication is such an intriguing topic – and words can often get in the way of what we’re really trying to convey.I always aim for clarity in communication – there’s so much mis-understanding between people based on words. In my sessions with people I do the same thing; always aiming for clarity and congruency.

I hope I’m communicating this clearly! ♥

A session with Lucia 1 – Introduction

Posted on by Lucia Soppe

I’m so excited to have this new project going – with the help of my dear friend Jennifer Murdock of http://www.jennifermurdockphotography.com/ – I’ve created a new series of short videos that introduce people to my work. These are great for new clients to watch, and are a great tool for my existing clients to share about the work they do with me. Since I’m such a multi-faceted facilitator it can be challenging to explain what I do. Well – here come the videos!
