Michelle teaches the Melt Method at Core Centric Training on Vashon Island in Washington. Our body’s inner web of life, called the facia, is also what connects people to each other and humans to the natural world. The thread of what is most important to Michelle is caregiving. When we care for our facia, Michelle tells us, we are effectively healing others and the environment. She meets us where we are experiencing pain by stating the obvious. "We could all benefit from a little support to recharge, replenish, and refuel." 

What is most important to Alison Goldwyn is knowing and growing her true nature with love and caring and inspiring and nurturing this in others.  Alison asks the question: Why must catastrophe be humanity's ultimate legacy in bringing us together?  She intimately experiences the need for a world-story which features the creative human spirit.  Alison trusted her own creative impulse to weave the strands of a new social and ecological--synchronistory . It was a choice which took her way beyond her comfort zone and sense of control.  Unexpectedly she discovered peace, purpose, and belonging in the empty but fertile space of her unknown which we too--experience as our great mystery and common human thread. 

If stones could speak is never a question for Joshua Barwick. For 22 years he has worked with stones in creating walls, walkways, and architectural structures. Suzanne and Josh have a lively  conversation about a macro wisdom and truth that is reflected in the micro processes of drywalling and weaving tapestries.  Orchestrating stones and threads share the same common thread of a concerns about relationships and how stones and strands must fit together.  Josh explains; "The time I spend on my relationships, whether it's with stones, family, or friends, I am paying my life forward with a deep sense of love and belonging."

During a time when there is so much suffering the common thread of love reveals its vital spirit of renewal. Reverend Carla Pryne and podcast host, Suzanne Hubbard, discuss the challenges of navigating a very new reality which was brought about by a pandemic and all the social, economic, and climate change related crises that its devastation has exposed.  The common human thread is a constant reminder we have agency to heal and transform with love. When we honor what is most important to us on a human and heart level, the world will try to adjust to a more humanizing purpose to mend a broken world together.

What is most important to Travis is the climate crisis. It is a huge problem we all feel helpless to stop its far reaching effects. The conversation about the common human thread, however, begins to reveal unexpected answers. Travis reflects on the four questions: What is most important to me? Why is it vital I respond? What have been the challenges when I put this purpose first? What wisdom can I share from my experiences? Listening to people with compassion is very important to him. Its potential to heal and transform is revealed through a personal story. Travis is very transparent. He admits he is a work in progress, as we all are when we follow the thread of love. He takes us to that vulnerable place of transformation. In the midst of feeling his hypocrisy, depression, and confusion he is also aware there is no shame or blame. Never before has it been necessary or considered practical to live our deeper truth—until today. We are all in this together, Travis says.
