Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind rest at peace.
The ten thousand things rise and fall
while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish
and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness,
which is the way of nature.
~ Tao Te Ching

"There is a feeling we have sometimes of betraying some mission that we were mandated to fulfill, and being unable to fulfill it. And then coming to understand that the real mandate was NOT to fulfill it. And that the deeper courage was to stand guiltless in the predicament in which you find yourself."

~ Leonard Cohen

"What if our grief, given as a sacred offering,
is a blessing not a curse?
What if our grief, not hidden away in corners,
becomes a kind of communion where we shine?
What if our grief becomes a liberation song
that returns us to our innocence?
What if our fierce hearts
could simply bear witness?"

Whoosh! This is going to be a very intense month. This attunement will help you navigate everything that’s coming. Here are some highlights of the session: I will attune you to the very powerful lunar eclipse that is bringing in a lot of endings and transformational and healing opportunities.

This is a time for abundance, for planting the seeds of something sustainable and lasting. The primary attunement will be to Jupiter’s move into Ta**us. This will bring a lot of expansion, and at the same time a groundedness and a move toward simplicity. This is where the momentum of the first part of the year starts to gain traction. The connection with earth (Ta**us) will help you take action for the long haul.

These themes are also central to the cross-quarter holiday of Beltane, which we will also celebrate as part of this attunement and healing session. Get ready for expansion, freedom, abundance, and the groundedness to bring them into form.

Happy Earth Day!

If you look at the wild weather all over the world, the rising oceans, and more, it seems like we’re descending into chaos. However, there is so much going on at the grass roots level that is creating signs of hope. More than that: celebrating Earth Day — and creating those signs of hope in the midst of seeming chaos— is actually a spiritual practice. Read on to find out why.

On the one hand, things look dire. Climate change is accelerating, and we’re seeing extreme weather. Earth’s geo-magnetics are increasingly unstable, so we’re seeing a lot more earthquakes. We have also been experiencing m-class and x-class solar flares, and more.

Climate change is definitely part of the unraveling that is occurring right now. Some say that we are beyond the point of no return. But if you look beyond the headlines you will see a lot that is already shifting. All over the world people are gathering to make a difference.
