Is the Universe Friendly?

Oct 13, 2019 | By Simon Goland

Is the Universe Friendly? I have been working on this Reflection for a few weeks. Then for a couple of months. Somehow, a few more months went by. It appears that the Universe was insistent on providing me with LOTS of material to work with while exploring this theme, and I actually have no idea […]

A Circle of Men

Oct 07, 2014 | By Simon Goland

There are two circles. One of about 20 men, who came to participate in this weekend. We call them “initiates.” The other circle is of about 40, of staff, leaders and co-leaders, and men of service (who spend the whole weekend in the kitchen, preparing food and nourishing everybody the whole time). These have participated […]

What Can I Learn from You?

Sep 10, 2014 | By Simon Goland

As far back as I remember, I have never really had mentors or role models. Not until the past few years, where I have met a few amazing people and have nominated them – without their knowing, I think – to become my mentors. Whether personally or professionally – as if these areas are unrelated […]

Like a Marionette Doll

Mar 23, 2014 | By Simon Goland

Where did the time go? I wrote the last Reflection at the end of January (here) and, despite my intention to write one or two of them a month, we are now nearing the end of March. We humans are, apparently, much better with our intentions than with our implementations of those. Coming back from […]

Through the Fog

Jan 28, 2014 | By Simon Goland

Fog. There was fog at the airport when I was leaving Vancouver. There was heavy fog, early in the morning, when I arrived to Delhi and was driving to the guest house where I am staying for the next two weeks, while I teach at the School for Inspired Leadership (SOIL). The next morning, as […]

The End of 14 Years

Aug 28, 2013 | By Simon Goland

Even though I moved into my loft in August of 1999, I still remember coming to see it before the purchase. It was big, spacious, bare, with boring white walls, unpainted metal ceiling, primitive and minimal kitchen, polished plywood on the upper floor, and – for some strange reason – the washer and dryer were […]

A Lesson in Patience and Trust. Again.

Aug 07, 2013 | By Simon Goland

 The work of the Right Livelihood Quest has been growing and evolving over the past two years in beautiful, magical, and inspiring ways. Conducting these deep inquiry processes has been a rich-in-learning experience for me, not only in witnessing what the participants uncover about their life and purpose, but also what opens up for me […]

Just One Question

May 27, 2013 | By Simon Goland

A room. In it, two long rows of pairs of participants, sitting facing each other. Most of the people are on chairs, yet there are also a few sitting on cushions on the floor. The facilitator and a few assistants are quietly walking around, or pausing near one of the pairs. There is murmur in […]

Witnessing Courage

Apr 01, 2013 | By Simon Goland

22 willing and engaged participants. 2 wonderfully supportive assistants. One me. A journey of 4 days, marking the retreat part of the Right Livelihood Quest, which we finished at the Whidbey Institute several days ago. Actually, the whole journey was of 3 weeks, if we include the first part of the Quest, which sets up […]

A New Beginning

Oct 16, 2012 | By Simon Goland

“How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment; we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway… and you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!” – The Diary of Anne Frank All […]
