Earth Tending Event

In the past, many indigenous people had relationships with the waters near them; simple yet profound ways of connecting, honoring and cleansing. And we can do the same today.

With Spirit’s help, let’s connect with the waters close to home and ask how we can work with them and help them to flourish.

Being Authentic

“The best thing about being authentic is that there is no image to maintain. You will delight some and disturb others, and none of it will concern the truth of your being.”

Let the World Hear You

“Be loud, my sweet girl.
Make some noise if you want.
Let the world hear your voice—strong, clear, and full of all the things that make you you.
You don’t need permission to take up space.

Care deeply, my darling.
Put your whole self into what you love.
Let your heart stretch wide, even if the world doesn’t always understand.
The depth of your kindness, your passion, your love—it is your gift.

Be brave, young one.
Bravery doesn’t mean you won’t feel fear.
It means you step forward anyway, even with shaky hands and unsure steps.
Your try is always a great feat.

You are beautiful.
You are gentle.
You are kind and sweet.
You are bold.
You are creative.
You are perfectly, wonderfully, uniquely you.

You are so many things—and so much more.
Never let anyone define you but you.

Because right now, in this very moment, you are exactly who you are meant to be.
And that is enough. Always.”

Slow Down

‘’Turn down the noise. Reduce the speed. Be like the somnolent bears or those other animals that slow down and almost die in the cold season.
Let it be the way it is.
The magic is there in its power.”

Samhain New Moon

Samhain Fire

New moon in watery Scorpio, the sign of the shaman, witch, sorcerer

This is also the time of Samhain – an ancient Celtic holiday in honor of our ancestors and all that has passed. Samhain marks the start of the dark half of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Now is the time to plunge into the depths of self and Soul. Examine and honor what came before and acknowledge your part in it all.

Light a candle and say a prayer for your ancestors who made your life possible.

Tending Solstice Fire

Join me in a guided Earth Tending in honor of sacred sunlight and Solstice.

☀️☀️☀️

Solstice is the perfect time to tend to the elemental fire of the sacred Sun that warms us and makes life possible on Earth.

Take a guided shamanic journey to honor and tend to elemental fire and sunlight. This Shamanism Without Borders tending was recorded a few days ago on Summer Solstice.
