How better can I honor what is, as is?
What brings me pleasure?
Where can I receive and offer the gifts of humor?
How can I be more discerning with my precious attention?
What inspires me to embody Grace, Wisdom, Love, Clarity, Light, Peace?
How do I honor the Sun?

We Give Thanks to the Great Fire of Life!

Challenging times on planet Earth ... how to swallow the entirety without pushing the undesirable off to the side and perpetuating the us-them / separation / judgement...?

To maintain the vision of Holy Wholeness, we must begin (and continue) within.

We are in relationship with everything we experience, within and without.

We are responsible for how we see things.


Can we include and be with all aspects of our own Nature?

Where do we judge ourselves?

What parts of ourselves long to be embraced, seen, acknowledged, encouraged?

Where are we unsettled within?

What needs to be nourished?

Can we slow down even more?


There are 10,000 formulas for Peace.

Do you know which work for you?

***
 ***  Equinox Blessings  ***
May we continue to cultivate Balance in our own lives and thereby, 
emanate what that looks/feels like. 
May we devote space to deepening stability in our unique ways of Loving and Receiving Love.
May we continue to receive insights into who We Are and why we are Here.

People often ask what I'm doing now that I no longer teach with FourWinds :

(aside my Practice + studies; exploring the wilds; a variety of creations; tending the land; laughing with beloveds; and contemplating writing a book on my adventures),

I am still (and plan to continue) offering sessions, coaching, custom student+client retreats (one-on-one teaching), and adornment.

“...Because things are about to get interesting.
What used to be your reverent postures
will madly start trying
to pull God
into your body.

All your grounded words
will turn into swooping birds
of unpredictable poetry
and all your polite ways
will become true maniacs for love.

Are you sure you're ready
to turn your respectable life
into a wild parade?

Perhaps consider this
before you pray like that
again.”


~ Chelan Harkin

May we be emotionally responsible and re-discover how to play and laugh and goof around like clowns to not only enjoy our lives more
but to enhance the vibration (hence energy, hence matter) of our planet!

<<< May generations in all directions be liberated in Peace >>>

May we rest, in life and death, trusting we (everyone) did the best we could with what we were given and had courage to claim. 

May we be humble, Earth, forgiving inadequacies and hesitations.

May we stay Open for guidance from cosmic kin ~ softening into the Wind, listening.

May we be inspired, available for Light to re-in-form us, again and again.

May we allow ease and flow, trusting in the way of things…no matter what.

May our path be illumined, reflective, deep, and fluid ~ may we take the high road.
