A companion for the moments when staying feels unsafe, exhausting, or impossible.

In this reflection, we gently name the instinct to move away from discomfort — the protective reflex that helped us survive when staying didn’t feel, or wasn’t safe.

Together, we notice what it’s like to remain without force, and to discover that God is not alarmed by our struggle or our desire to leave.

An episode for noticing where you actually are — without rushing yourself toward where you think you should be.
In this first reflection, we slow down and gently arrive to the present moment — noticing breath, body, and what’s here — without trying to change anything.

A place to begin when you need somewhere to sit, not somewhere to arrive.
This short opening episode introduces the heart behind Desert Streams and how to listen at your own pace. No fixing. No pressure. Just space to breathe and be accompanied.
