oh hey there, Reader maybe you can relate, or maybe you're much more on top of things than I am, but I am a wait-until-the-last-freaking-minute girl. I’ve known I needed to cut the garden beds back for weeks. 🤦♀️ I finally got around to it last weekend—even though in most years I would’ve been shivering while wielding the rusty clippers in freezing temps & snow flurries. And honestly, I kind of hate this part of the gardening process 🙈 the phase when all the pretty-things have died back, and...

Hey Reader, It probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise that the topic of “reproductive rights” is something I feel pretty passionate about. There’s also no question that there’s been an upsurge of conversation around this topic recently, and unfortunately, a LOT of it is coming from a deeply fear-based place. What you might be surprised to hear is that I take a bit of a different stance on “reproductive rights" than I used to even a few years ago… Eventually, I’ll share more about what I...

Hey there Reader, I haven’t known how to write this — something to summarize my time in ceremony on the Olympic Peninsula last month with the men’s group Sacred Sons for their first co-ed gather, Convergence. But y'all are curious cats and I keep getting requests to share more — so let's give it a go... 📸 by @cam.naga I’ve been quietly fan-girling Sacred Sons for years via Instagram and followed their work as an intentional “Expander” for what I (hoped) was possible around the kind of man I...

Hey dear Reader, This week has felt heavy... But I know it's not just this particular past week as my family waited to see what would happen to my parents' home in Sarasota, FL. And it's not just the tears from watching entire Appalachian towns wiped off the map. And it's not just the anger as the American government continues to funnel money to wars overseas while citizen heroes are threatened for helping neighbors evacuate. It's all of it. It's the times we're in — this uncovering of the...

hey Reader, here’s the thing… I get that talking about the Wheel of the Year may seem a little… random? out there? sort of like… “who actually cares?”… most you found your way to me because I was sharing exclusively about cycle syncing and balancing hormones for our female bodies — which is an important topic! but like I shared last month, that was kind of a cop-out for me. But this — talking about the deeper aspects that have been part of my healing path {that I hope will serve you well,...

Hey Reader, yesterday, the New Moon in Leo opened up a doorway for us to enter into the energy of Lughnasa and honor this season of harvest. while this isn’t always the case, this year’s Lughnasa Cross-Quarter Day is unique as it began with Lunar Lughnasa {the Moon in Leo} and builds to Solar Lughnasa {happening Wednesday, when the Sun touches 15* Leo}. the Cross-Quarter Holy Day of Lughnasa is centered around honoring the harvest — both literally {blueberries, cucumbers, and melons, oh my!}...

hey Reader, {sharing a bit about Lughnasa first — but if you want to hop right to the new LUGHNASA SPIRAL offer → CLICK HERE! } are you familiar with the Cross-Quarter Day called "Lughnasa?" Also known as Lammas or even "Loaf Mass," this is a point in the Wheel of the Year that turns our attention to the harvest. the Sun's light and life force through the growing season has gifted us with so many nourishing resources — and similarly, in our lives we're offered a moment to reflect on all that...
