Planting Love Back into the Earth

Thank you!

To all who donated over the past six weeks—thank you for your heartfelt generosity. This endeavor is a living testament to what becomes possible when we join together in love and action. In total, we raised $2,121 in September, and the donations are still flowing in. That’s over 200 trees planted in the South American jungles of the Sierra Madre mountains of Colombia, known by the Indigenous Arhuaco people as El Corazón del Mundo—The Heart of the World.

As we stand nearly four weeks beyond the Autumn Equinox, we’re reminded that this season is not only a time of harvest, but also a sacred moment of replenishment. The Earth’s soils are renewed by what her trees so bravely release. Autumn invites us to not only let go but to give back.

Abundance is not measured by what we keep, but by how we circulate our gifts—trusting that when we have more than enough, we share, and when we have less, we will be provided for. The seasons mirror the sacred cycles we belong to, and when we support communities of people we may never meet, we remember the greater web of life we are all part of.

Every act of giving—no matter how small—creates ripples of renewal.

Dear Beloved Community,

After four weeks in the jungles and mountains of Colombia, I have been back in Buena Vista for nearly as long - and yet my time in Colombia feels like lifetimes. Lifetimes of ceremony, of beauty, and of experiences that I will be reflecting on and integrating for many moons to come.

It is a phenomenal experience to be immersed inside of another culture; a unique web of understanding, a foreign matrix, and yet no matter how many subtle differences there are, there remains a connected truth. The truth that we share the same inherent frequency of love at our core - because at our human essence, we are all seeking authentic connection and a safe place to simply be. Love is what brings us into the present moment. Love is the great calling. And there are infinite paths that remind us how to return—every one of them needed.

I arrive with new methods, many synchronistic alignments and the deepest gratitude for my opportunity to be here and to be in service to my community.

In deeper and more curious ways, I continue to remember in the depth of my soul that Love is what anchors me to my purpose in this lifetime. In Colombia, ceremonial space, native medicines, and community brought me home again. The northern realms of my body—my busy mind—softened into my heart. Darkness gave way to seed, to cracking open, to remembering. My ceremony of life found rhythm again through, earth, vine, and medicine…through frogs and the humming of birds and the humming of souls helping me to remember what I never lost, just simply forgot.

For those that have been following along with me this past year - I have gone through enormous change within my personal life and my own consciousness. I am grateful for all of it and it has been deeply challenging. When I left for Colombia, my intention was to return with a bit more clarity about my current path, and I believe I did indeed find that - not the clarity of precision - but the clarity that the change I continue to endure is of deep purpose and alignment and that it is safe to surrender to what is moving through, in, and around me.

And the Earth calls her children home in remarkable ways. In January, I was gifted 1lb of cacao - and although I have partaken in cacao rituals before - I had never brewed and drank cacao regularly with deep intention. But after three weeks of daily cacao and intention setting, it was undeniable that she was a catalyst in beginning my journey to return home (to myself) and return to safety within my own body. And the threads have only deepened and it is with great love that I share this opportunity to contribute to such an important cause that helps to give back to the land and the people that have been nothing short of life changing for me.

An Invitation to Plant Love Back into the Earth:
One way I feel called to give back to Pachamama and the people that protect her is by supporting a dear friend's mission: Calling in Love Cacao. This project is devoted to planting cacao and endemic trees and strengthening connection with indigenous communities who steward the land and protect our Mother Earth in the northern jungles and Sierra Madre mountains of Colombia known as El Corazon del Mundo - the heart of the world.

Michael Pollan wrote in his book The Botany of Desire, that plants, too, are domesticating us—calling us closer for their own wise purposes. I feel that truth deeply. The vines, the trees, the animals—they open to the souls ready to cultivate relationship to the awakening they offer us. Planting a tree is a small act, but one that ripples out in infinite ways, reconnecting us with the great web of life.

But first...

🌿 A Note from Jacqueline: Sacred Change, Deep Tending 🌿

Dear Beloved Community,

I am continually inspired by each of you and your journeys I am privileged to witness. The human spirit is remarkable in its essential nature: infinitely abundant and alchemized through love, time and time again.

When I hold space, I offer a field of support where the sacred soul before me can soften into their own beingness—a space to be witnessed, held, and heard with presence, guided by your own inner wisdom.

And as a guardian of the body’s innate intelligence, my role is not to “fix,” but to help translate the subtle messages your body is already offering—what we often call symptoms—so that you can listen with your deeper truth to the conversations unfolding within your own vessel.

As someone walking this path myself, it is essential that I continue allowing space to be held for me while cultivating my own practices, studying with my most trusted mentors, and continuing to explore the vast terrain of my own mind-body-soul-spirit system. In that light, I will be traveling to Colombia this summer to enter into rich ceremony and deepen into my own healing.

This will be the longest span of time I will be away from my service as an Acupuncturist, since I began my practice 7 years ago. I take many small breaks and honor my need for adventure, but there's something about extended time away - that excites my soul - so I may continue deepening the path I walk with this medicine and in order to better serve each of you when I return.

Because the truth is, none of us know how much time we have on this Earth. Time is one of our most precious resources. No amount of money or success can buy more of it—or return what’s been lost.

So I invite you to also ask yourself: How are you spending your time? You are the only one who gets to choose. You deserve to know the fullness of life while you’re still here, still breathing. Let your heart lead. Embrace love. Dare to challenge the belief that being ‘busy’ equals success. And when you find yourself with free time and don’t know what to do—I invite you to feel how rich you truly are. Instead of rushing to fill it, may you be strong enough (or soft enough) to be in it. To slow down. To vibrate at the frequency of gratitude in the only moment that ever truly exists: now.

This past year—and these coming months—are ushering in profound changes to structures in my life that once felt stable. Change is a sacred threshold, a kind of death. It asks us to release what is familiar and step into the mystery of the Great Unknown. And while it can be disorienting, it’s also a profound opportunity for renewal.

A lot of the time when we seek support from healers, we too are seeking Change - seeking a death of an old way of being that is disconnected to oneself and embracing a new connection, inviting the mind-body-soul-spirit into greater union - yet, we don't often realize change is a part of our guiding question. Most of the time we just want to feel better. But sometimes (and most potently, I feel because it is so rare) we can seek to align with the harmony that is already pulsating through us - we can come in before we need anything to be different - we can honor our vessel through love and tending - we can amplify the miracle that already exists within.

And truthfully, this is what is always being done - when you get acupuncture. We are connecting with the pathways and energies of your body that are healed, connected, aligned - helping your system to use its own wisdom and resources to rebalance through its own light.

If you feel called to come in this month—or after I return—I would be honored to support your continued alignment. You deserve to be tended to not only in times of illness or imbalance, but in service of what is blooming from your deepest essence. This is the secret to vitality: offer yourself love before you need to. Listen before your body has to speak loudly.

Thank you for the privilege of walking alongside you. I carry your stories with reverence.

In love, light, and healing darkness,

Jacqueline Allen, LAc

Calling all beautiful, soulful, women ready to Return to Love.

I have been offered an incredible opportunity, as a guest facilitator, at Lily Russo's upcoming Awakened Heart Retreat in Mexico this February. I will be both a participant and a collaborator and I would love for you to join me! This will be such an incredibly nourishing space to invite deeper connections, receive divine healing, and together cultivate a great return to love.

If you've ever wanted to spend some quality time together, there's no better place than in Mexico in February, in the sacred space of the Equilibrium Healing Resort and Spa, digitally detoxing with other beautiful women, and gathering for an artfully crafted 6 days, 5 night retreat of yoga, sound, feminine magic and heart expansion.

Lily Russo is a divine soul and the lead retreat facilitator. She leads yoga trainings, is an ayurvedic practitioner, and a feminine powerhouse. She is co-facilitating with Malka Russel an international musician and sound artist who synthesizes heart frequency, soulful vocals, and her music draws listeners back to the truth of their hearts. And I will be offering a heart-filled astrology playshop, inviting participants to 'dream with their moon' - we will come to know your natal moon by sign and phase through listening to your dreaming body.

I am so inspired by these women and I hope you can join us!

All my love,

Last night's Sound Immersion was a journey I'll never forget.

Even though Jan 1st has come and gone, last night's New Moon marked the transition into the Lunar New Year - a way of telling time that syncs with the roughly 13 moon cycles every year.

A perfect liminal space for dreaming and imagining.

It's almost like that space just after waking briefly where we fall back asleep - it's that space often where dreams can become more vivid. That's where we're at collectively in the "opening cycles" of our year.

Listen to your dreams, see what images arrive in your view, what sounds beckon your heart forward - for this is a magical dream space before Spring wakes us back up, calling us to rise into action.

Dragons are dreaming (remembering) themselves awake 🐉.

When I asked everyone last night why they were here - I was asking myself the same question... and the answer that flowed to the surface was: "because this is how humans should be spending time and sharing space".... not lost in money woes or to do lists or numbing out on social media, but gathering to amplify frequencies of the heart.

::a little deeper astrology for you:: This is the First Lunar New Year and the First New Moon in Aquarius where Pluto has joined the pack in over 200 years. Community, space holding, gathering, and being human will not look like it does now in 20 years time - a revolution of beingness is underway. We're at the threshold of something new entirely emerging from the compost bin of humanity.

Tune into your own frequencies and vibrations - as you learn to swim in the sea of collectively. Just like in a sound journey - there's 'one experience' being offered but we'll each be on our own entirely unique journeys. What you feel in your own body-heart-mind-soul-spirit is where the most magic is - trust the wisdom that rises from your own depths.

Gratitude for all who show up and for the opportunity to walk alongside you ❤🙏

Our puppies are helping us prepare for our next Sound Immersion =)

My partner and I love coming together to amplify and create journeys with s o u n d. Pure frequencies to stir our own deeper essences within. Something new is discovered every time and vibration is one of the purest reflections of self - a journey which cannot be taught, read about, or imagined - a journey which can only be felt.

We'll be in Leadville THIS FRIDAY - for our very special Lunar New Year Event.

The moon is interwoven with our dreaming bodies - her way of tracking time leads us into the watery depths of soul & intuition. She has a new cycle every month - but this is the beginning of her next complete journey (13 moons) within the yearly orbit of Earth navigating around the Sun.

Archetypally in Daoist Astrology - we are moving out of the energy of the Water Rabbit and into a year with the Wood Dragon.

What will your soul whisper back for you to hear?

I will be offering a guided dream vision to begin our time together before we drop into an Ocean of Sound - where surrendering to the waves helps us to reorient to our own North Star within.

Your heart knows the way.

Herbs have stories.

Herbs have lineages.

Herbs are sentient.

The families of herbs themselves (the genus we could say) has a spirit and then the individual herb you come into contact with has a spirit.

This herb, that I’ve worked with before, came back to me in a dream – both a vision of the night when Bear Spirit visited me – and a lucid dream (i.e. daytime magic) when visions become reality - and it came to me this time with more of her story.

Dang Gui
Angelica sinensis

In Traditional East Asian Medicine the specific part of the root that you consume tells you where it will activate most in your body and whether the effects will be more tonifying or moving – more physical, spiritual or energetic - but for today we’re going to allow the plant to speak her wisdom in other ways.

“Dang Gui” literally translates to ‘state of return’ – reflecting its exalted ability to restore one to a state of wholeness and the deeper essence of that is back to one’s Heart, or in Shamanic Astrology back to the Sun – the radiating quality of which you be – your Sol (your soul).

Soul medicine indeed. The Sun’s warmth is generous and full of hope. The Sun beckons us to emerge from shadows, and bloom. In the North, the Sun is a Goddess: gentle, loving and healing. One of the first plants to receive the Sun’s blessing and awaken is Dang Gui. In early spring, while the North and South Winds fight for sovereignty over the frozen Earth, Angelica rises like a flame and calls to the beloved Sun, “I am here.” And like the Sun, Angelica is a generous plant. In early spring when food is still scarce, Angelica nourishes the reindeer who have pushed through deep snows all winter long, and the bear who has just awoken from dream.

Angelica received its name in the west when it came to a monk in a dream as a message from Archangel Michael (sometimes the angel is Raphael or Gabriel) and the dream gave vision to angelica as a cure for the plague. Before the plague years, Angelica was just another w**d in ditches all over Europe. After the monk’s dream, Angelica – the angelic one - became precious and was coveted as a plant that could protect your body and soul.

Before the angel appeared in the monk’s dream, Angelica was named for the Bear. Northern Europeans called the plant Bear Pipe.
Bear is the great herbalist. Bear knows where the medicinal roots grow and how to make use of their medicine.

There is a North American plant called Osha or Bear Root in many Indigenous languages, that grows in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains – it is similar to European Angelica. Osha is named after Bear because it is the first plant Bear seeks when he wakes in the Spring.

Bears, like monks, are also great dreamers. Bear carries messages between worlds.

And this message is that the Sun (of which Angelica radiates) shines and brings warmth to all of life. It does not hold back its gifts for only the chosen few. Angelica, a plant that grows in ditches, offers medicine to all. This is the way of the Sun.

And so Dang Gui, Angelica, Bear Pipe’s song is singing me back to my heart. And as I sip my tea of this very special and unique root – I wait to hear more of her story. What does she have to say to me within her journey of lineage, medicine, story, and being.

Life is but a dream. There is sentience in everything everywhere. When we can turn our Ear to Listen – wisdom rises from the ‘great below’ – the same mystery, the same void, the same magic from whence we came.

And so all Spirit brings us back home – but I am going to enjoy my newfound and expanding relationship with the Bear, Angelica, and the Sun.
