NOTE: Voices of Service is a new podcast conversation series produced through the Sustainable Oneness Spiritual Alliance, honoring those who have answered the call to serve humanity: healers, innovators, channels, teachers, and wayshowers.
Each episode is a one-hour sacred exchange — personal, unhurried, and deeply real. We explore the origin story behind the work. The moment of yes. The inner journey — including the hard parts, the parts that made no sense, and the parts that required everything. The transformation that came. And the living wisdom each guest carries for those who are listening.
Spirit is always with us. And yet we are human. These conversations honor both truths at once.
Where two paths shall meet:
I met Dottie Woodward some years ago at a facilitator’s retreat. Mark and I had been invited to an evening event to hear about the purchase of land in the Black Mountain, North Carolina, area. This group of healers was envisioning a community to do their work together. Given our 32 Centers Global mission directives, I was in research mode. A friend I’d met and connected with during an event in Crestone, Colorado, told me he was going to attend, and thought it would be a good idea for us to make a connection, which we did. The leader of their group had been called away, so I spoke with the Chairman of their board, Elizabeth. She invited us to attend the final evening when this new project would be presented to the group.
We took the three-hour drive from Fredericksburg to join in. After we listened to the presentation, she turned to us and said, now it’s your turn. Would you like to share more about your mission, your calling? Mark and I were unprepared, but I had noted that Mark had loaded his keyboard into the back of the van as we prepared to leave home. He’s always prepared to play some type of music when we go anywhere.
I suggested that, rather than speaking about our mission, we guide the group through a simple energetic process. And so, Mark set up his keyboards, and we began. It was glorious to witness these beautiful people experience the frequency that we had come to know as Living the Miracle (LtM), and through laughter, tears, and lots of hugs, I began to explain our mission. That’s when I felt a huge wall of energy connect with me, and by that time in my life, I knew to get out of my own way. The Guides came through and delivered a detailed message about what they had been prepared for all along—LIGHT BIRTHING.
This was the context in which I met Dottie. I did not make a personal connection with her that evening. In fact, the swirl of activity after sharing the Guides' message was all a bit of a blur. We stayed the night, then made our way home the next morning.
Fast forward to some months later, I hosted a weekend of Light Activation at our home, a cabin nestled in the woods. To our surprise, a smaller grouping of these same people who were there that evening walked through our door. Little did I know, the Light Birthing I described while in channel that evening, I’m told, occurred in the middle of our living room that weekend. The experience was as profound as it was shocking.
Dottie was among this tight-knit group, and it was on the second day that she channeled her guides, the Galactic Federation, with the encouragement and support of her friends.
Since that weekend, Dottie has kept showing up and has been steadfast in following the inner direction that leads us to activate the earth’s ley lines, open portals, and engage in healing practices. In short, I have come to know and dearly love Dottie as a friend and powerhouse for spirit’s work on earth; and best, she is a gentle, playful spirit who is quick to laugh and genuinely loves sharing her gifts with all who cross her path.
