What's inside of us needs an outlet.  That which is within you creates a magnificent portal to what is possible in the world for you. Stop what no longer serves you. Discover your fearlessness and compassion. Drink from a deeper self, a self that will nurture and guide you on your truest path.  

Join me in one of my on-line classes, through my books, circles & retreats where I invite you to explore all that is truly possible for you!

 the Clue of the Red Thread:  discovering fearlessness and compassion in uncertain times, released JANUARY 26th, 2021 by Nine Rivers, an imprint of Shanti Arts. 

“In The Clue of the Red Thread, Julie Tallard Johnson reminds us that we can best navigate uncertain times by joining our inner truth with our words and actions. In ways both poetic and practical, she invites us to make time and space for inward discernment, returning to the visible world better able to help advance the work of love, truth, and justice. I had the privilege of being in dialogue with Julie at several points during the writing of this book, and I can assure you that it is a faithful reflection of Julie’s life-work, all of it proven in practice. I urge you not only to read but to follow by finding your own red thread and tracking it into the fullness of life.”

Books

Everyone wants to experience purpose and inspiration in their lives, but the search for meaning often leaves a seeker in the hands of fate. Offering a different approach to self-discovery, one where we create our meaning from within rather than seek it from the outside world, The Zero Point Agreement shows there is a science behind personal spiritual experiences and creativity. It reveals simple evidence-based methods that can be applied to any situation to generate enthusiasm, inspiration, and direct spiritual experience and transform the inner and outer landscapes of your life. Learn more about this and other books. 

Counseling & Circles

Starting this April 2021, join me and others in my monthly Red Thread Circle. 

I offer a personalized approach to self-discovery and healing, where you explore and discover your capacities and possibilities.

An endorsement from His Holiness the Dalai Lama (an excerpt):
“Because the very purpose of life is to be happy, it is important to discover what will actually give us the greatest satisfaction. Everything we experience, whether it is enjoyable or not, affects either our minds or our bodies. Generally, it is our minds that have the greatest influence over whether we are happy or not. Our minds register everything that happens to us, no matter how small. As free human beings we can use our unique intelligence to try to understand ourselves and our world. But if we are unable to use our creative potential, we lose one of the basic characteristics of a human being. In order to find mental stability and peace, the mind itself can be trained. We can cultivate positive attitudes like kindness and compassion, tolerance and contentment. Julie describes many ways to create peace and happiness, some on your own and some with your friends." 
~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama, July 1995, for "The Thundering Years"

An endorsement from Parker J Palmer, author of A Hidden Wholeness and Healing the Heart of Democracy : 
“In this beautiful book, Julie Tallard Johnson--a gifted teacher and writer--brings fresh insight to an ancient truth: each of us must live from the inside out. This book--full of resources that range from heart-deep insight to helpful, practical exercises--can help us reclaim the treasure-trove of our own experience and being.” (Parker J.
