A NOTE FROM CHRISTINA

Christina Merkley — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 13:38:52 +0000

Hello from the west coast of Canada in rainy March. No real snow this winter; however, the rain is stubbornly consistent, as is customary for a temperate rain forest this time of year. When I go for walks, it’s dramatic, even gothic. Dripping in moody moss and stark sculptural branches. Atmospheric like the British novels... Read more »

It’s been a busy time. Anneke Lucas and I, with an amazing international cohort, just wrapped a 10-Week Processing Group. We worked right through the holidays, even on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Offering community to Survivors through a period of time that is traditionally difficult. Tomorrow, we move into our Level 2 of Shifting... Read more »

A nice respite. Enjoying the West Coast summer. Cheers! I celebrated my moon child birthday. I am conveniently bad with time, so they are amorphously blending into one another nowadays. My friends, even the doggedly left-brain ones, know not to remind me which one I’m on! I had a lovely time in Parksville on Vancouver... Read more »

Sliding into summer in the Pacific Northwest. Our backyard bank of St. John’s wort has erupted into a sea of yellow. Watching the first bloom emerge, then the winnowing down to the last. Such a wave of exuberant beauty that I delight in each year! The so-called little things in life that summon immense pleasure.... Read more »

Oh my. These are intense and shifting times, are they not?! As The SHIFT-IT Coach, I continue to shift too. In my personal life, I continue to support my parents to age in place. For privacy reasons, I won’t go into details, but suffice to say, this context adds a bittersweet component. One of the... Read more »

OH MY – A FIRING AND A CARJACKING. DEEP INNER WORK IN THIS WEEK’S PROCESS POPUP.

Christina Merkley — Sun, 11 Oct 2020 20:31:19 +0000

Process Group #21A & 21 B – 2020 Shifts (October 7, 2020 – Visual Coaching). I GOT FIRED YESTERDAY – Process PopUp 21A Wendi is reeling from being fired yesterday. From a spiritual, community-based not-for-profit. Understandably angry given lack of warning or proper closing. She and her co-workers were callously called ‘dandelions spread to the... Read more »

FLIP IT: OUTER VS INNER PRODUCTIVITY

Christina Merkley — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 13:00:05 +0000

[Visual Coaching with Christina Merkley – COVID Pandemic #6]. Dorothy’s partner (visual skills student of mine) referred her. So glad she did as I personally found this session extraordinary given the spiritual/soul perspective on leadership, identity, status, aging and mobility issues. Poignant example of struggle between what our personality values versus what our soul does.... Read more »
