Time is flying. Literally. Isn’t it incredible how everything is accelerating of late?! Another month has flown by. Sooooooo much is happening. Personally, and for the world. What an incredible time that our souls have chosen to partake and participate in! And while fascinating, also terrifying and heartbreaking too. Each day I’m being taught anew… Read more »

A Note From Christina over two loves: a stack of books and her pup Presley

End of summer here in North America. I adore summer … I prefer to take all of August off. Since Covid began, I haven’t really been able to do that. So, it was a partial month off at least, which was still pretty good. We have a glorious woodsy backyard, with various hangouts, depending on… Read more »

When I was 25, back when I was an admin assistant to a busy politician, I got the one and only tattoo I have … a yin/yang symbol. Funny enough, I placed it over my right kidney. When I donated that kidney a few years later, the surgeon chose to do a diagonal incision, to… Read more »

Spring has just sprung here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada – yippee! So nice to get outdoors and move my body. Give a counterbalance to all the sitting at computers and drawing tablets. Celebrated Chanel Monk’s (my crypto co-host) birthday by going dirt biking recently. Haha, what fun! Turns out the main clientele for Dirt… Read more »

Christina Merkley's garden in Metchosin on Vancouver Island with resident Buddha statue

Fall is here in the Pacific Northwest, and with it comes much-welcomed rains, after a fiery summer. In between Zooms with clients and students, I tend my little garden, readying it for winter. I have a bounty of tomatoes and red potatoes, tiny yet delicious. The herbs, chard and radishes should hold up for a… Read more »

Note from Christina merkley exploring Vancouver Island British Columbia

I hope you and yours are doing ok during these shift times. As I draw thoughts and feelings out of folks from across the world, I see a lot of different circumstances. Some are having the best of times. Some are having the worst of times. And the majority, like myself, are somewhere in between. Our… Read more »


[VISUAL COACHING] WE SIT WITH CRAZY

Sometimes the smaller the Process Popup the deeper the depths. Also, fascinating synchronicities and piggybacking can occur … which was the case here. Theme is ‘CRAZY’ descendants of wounded women and the RISE TO A BIGGER HEARTED SELF.


2021 Courses & Kits

Something I was already doing pre-pandemic but which now makes up the bulk of my time. The only in-person work I can currently do in accordance… Read more »
