Greetings to your Hearts, Hearths & Homes,
In this changing season, we are also changing, if indeed we allow it and become sensitive again to subtle shifts, the blossoming and harvesting of heart and earth, matters/maters.
There are old medicine ways that assist us in deepening our connections, learning the weave that grief, endings, beginnings, praise and Beauty making offer and ask of us.
For some time now I have been courting the question: What does stating "All Our Relations" ask of us? In these times, within our homes, family, friends, colleagues, place, seen and unseen relations...what might we remember now in the heat of the sun and the cracking of thunder? What are we invited into as the leaves fall from trees and the air grows cool and who might be remembering us in moments where we forget and feel a little ungrounded or lost, busy, nurturing others, or distracted...yet yearning for meaningful connections within and around us?
I invite you to join me for a sweet weekend of exploration, connection, wonder from a Somato-Spirit approach guided by some of the ‘teachings’/pilgrimages of what has come to be called the Blue Grandmothers.
These ways take many forms and I'd like to begin to share some with you. Many of you have been asking. I'm obeying(etymological sense) the nudges: yours and those from the unseen.
And if you were with us in November 2022 or April 2023, welcome back, Darling, welcome back! And if you are newly curious - welcome, welcome!
