Dawn in Vermont smells clean and ancient. Most mornings I step outside to soak in the sun and stand quietly listening to the birdsong and the earth’s presence beneath. This is where I begin my day and where I begin to write.

Why does this space exist?

If you’re like me, you’ve had your fill of polished platitudes. They sparkle for a second, then melt when life presses hard.

Here I do the opposite, trading sparkle for substance, skimming for plunging, airy talk for embodied truth.

If your mind buzzes with questions, if your heart aches for more than tidy answers, if your body feels the tremor of becoming even when words fail—this is your harbor. Together we can explore what happens when you learn to meet your own depth without flinching.

What lands in your inbox (free, every Monday)

• One brief reflection—150-400 words that cracks open one of the month’s theme (courage, doubt, embodiment, release, and more).

• A question to carry through the week.

• First alerts when a new essay publishes on my website’s Field Notes, or when a new workbook drops into the Whispers from the Threshold Library.

I keep the message short so you can read it before the kettle boils—and return to it when the stress of the day needs adjustment.

When you’re ready to wade deeper

• Monthly Spiritual Deep Dive Workshops – live on Zoom, three time-slot options. No charge to attend.

• Workbook Library – a growing collection of presence-based workbooks — like mini-workshops in digital download format.

• Field Notes – a quiet notebook of deeper dives: thoughtful pieces exploring how change unfolds and how we can meet it with clarity.

What makes this different

No bubble-wrapped “love and light.” No cosmic vending-machine promises. I offer questions sharp enough to cut old bindings and practices rooted in an inside-out depth cultivated in almost thirty years in the Akashic Records. You’ll hold your own spade, but I’ll stand beside you while you dig.

A note from me to you

I’m Cheryl Marlene—mystic, futurist, and perpetual explorer. Over twelve books—including Akashic Records Masterclass and the award-winning The New Akashic Records—trace my trail of inquiry through body, mind, heart, and soul.

I live in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont with Forrest, a 50-pound standard poodle who believes every trail is one of joy and exploration. We hike, we listen, we negotiate truces with curious black bears. Mostly, we practice presence—because presence is where the next step always reveals itself.

Quiet dare

If the thought of water too deep to see the bottom makes your stomach flutter — good! That flutter is the current calling. Dip a toe by checking out the archive, or leap by joining the next workshop. Either way, I’ll meet you where the water darkens and the real conversation begins.
