Arriving Here

This beautiful and aching world is calling for each of us to claim our participation with open hearts, clear minds, and full intention.



Arriving Here is a book for anyone seeking to make sense of their lived experience. In a series of essays that follow a season of reflection and two years dedicated to leaning into its teachings, Lisa Steele-Maley invites readers into the inner and outer work that has carried her to this particular place and moment-to here. It is a place of deep awareness, belonging, and continually renewed commitment to family, community, and the earth.




Our individual experiences are not really so singular; we are all connected, with each of our lives contributing to a growing collective awareness. Arriving Here explores how this understanding can lead the way toward an earthly existence that honors our interdependent reality and fosters healing and wholeness. Steele-Maley welcomes us into the work together with this prayer:




May something in my story support your evolving story.

May my sense of purpose enliven your sense of purpose.

May my strategies of connection help you find your own strategies of connection.

May your emerging story bring purpose and clarity to your days.

May your life provide inspiration for someone else's.
