Come home to peace, presence, and the wild joy of your one life.
Grace Happens.
If you feel a yearning within you to experience belonging, connection, and direction …
Let’s connect at “Open the Present with Pegge” weekly column on the free Substack platform. Posts, notes, and subscriber Zoom opportunities will share stories and tips to help you trust your intuition, voice, spirit, and life—to live the truth of your unique presence and abilities, however life shows up.
Welcome! I’m Pegge.
Open the Present® to live your best life.
There’s magic in the ordinary, everyday. I know this through deep despair, burnout, radical healing, sanctuary in nature, and delicious delight in the present moment.
You may be standing at a threshold: a loss, an ending, a beginning. You may feel a quiet restlessness. You may sense more calm, more passion, more trust waiting for you, and wonder how to reach it in the middle of a full life.
Something in you is ready. Nothing is wrong with you.
It takes courage to pause. It takes willingness to listen to what you hear. Courage and willingness are the alchemy, and you bring both, or you would not be here.
Here we pause, breathe, and become curious. With deep listening, kindness, and the intelligence of rooted places, the next steps become clear, and joyful to take.
Three ways to begin
Read, watch, listen. Reflections and Pause Here Postcards on social media and Substack. A podcast is coming in spring 2027.
2026 December Busy Person's Retreat. For everyone who longs for more peace, delight, and courage in the middle of everyday life. A short opening with ten days of daily reflections, and a closing gathering. In-person or virtual options.
Coaching and Soul Care. One-to-one accompaniment, in person or by video. Are you ready for deliberate change, in threshold or bardo time, or seeking transformation and healing related to grief and loss, stress, or over-commitment? Do you desire a reset, renewal, or strategic and thoughtful change?
You are also welcome at River Raven Sanctuary, my home and lodge on the Kenai River, for a VIP retreat day, weekend, or week to unplug and renew: a place to connect, create, and celebrate.
