Spring reflections 🌱🌕💜

The planting of seeds so small yet full of potential reminds me of the care and gentleness new life demands.

They grow at my windowsill facing due south with daily water spritzes and admiration, reminding me to offer myself the same care, moments of pause, and kindness.

Care looks like not being harsh and critical toward myself and what’s growing within me, trusting the nudges of my body to rest, go into the woods, and allow things to take time.

The lingering cold mirrors the resistance thats been coming in waves as I consider future endeavors and offerings; invitations to focus on the next one thing and not get swept up in the overwhelm of all that needs to be done and all that can go wrong; cues to be an apprentice of resistance and soften to its needs.

As the first full moon post the vernal equinox arrives (4/1/26), I am intrigued by the astrological significance and cosmic symbolism of the northward movement of the Sun up the axis of the Earth and the axis of my spine and its radiant, illuminating qualities imbuing the soul, matter, elemental intelligence of life and what might be revealed or accessible if I slow down to listen and feel.

Our time together will include a mindfulness and grounding practice, an intentional writing prompt and time for writing, collaboration, and a seasonal craft for integration.

What to expect: think sitting around a fire telling stories, connecting to the rhythms of nature, and feeling a sense inner and outer belonging✨

An evening to gather outside under the full moon and connect with inner and outer landscapes [free event hosted by the library] 💜🌕💜

Join us on April 1st 8-10pm for an evening at the Macon County Public Library where we will be guided slowly by sensory invitations to explore the meandering trails just behind the library. During this 2-hour experience, there will be a mix of leisurely strolling, observation, and reflection both individually and as a group. The finale of the evening will be a hilltop pink moonrise (also known as flower moon, sprouting grass moon, budding moon) viewing.

Please bring: weather appropriate clothes and shoes, water, snacks, something to sit on such as a yoga mat or blanket, flashlight or headlamp preferably with a red light setting, and anything else to make our time outside more comfortable. Portable expressive elements of choice like journals, paints, sketchbooks are also highly encouraged.

a moment for interrupting the anxiety spiral 🌀

pausing to notice what is okay, nice, neutral and to let it touch the inner landscape 😮‍💨 and create new pathways of existing; little baby sips of goodness💧

thank you tea, moss, moon, sky, picnic, peepers, birds, golden milk, words, and plant portals for the coming home 💫

please do share in the comments recent reminders of connection, goodness, and belonging so we can deepen in our capacity and aliveness together and turn toward what is present with care, curiosity, and choice 🌼

grateful for the experiences and teachings from my somatic experiencing training and looking forward to sharing more in the near future 🦋

As the daffodils unfold and spring lurks around the corner, “becoming” feels pronounced.

But becoming is always underway- in moments of rest and activity, silence and noise, boredom and inspiration, uncertainty and clarity, calm and chaos, and everything in between.

It is an ongoing story; threshold leading to new thresholds, edges ever pulsing and widening, chapters of continuity unfolding.

To consciously participate in such a journey isn’t always easy- it’s scary, confusing, heavy, despairing, and uncomfortable at times. But to not participate is to thwart our innate wisdom, to abandon what we know to be true in our core, to forgo our inherent genuine desires, and to forget our place in the wider web of things leading dis-ease from the micro to the macro.

To accept our becoming is to turn toward what is present with curiosity and compassion; it is surrendered participation as both reclamation and resistance because it excavates body as a doorway, nature as kin, slowness as life giving, belonging as glue, the sacred in daily living and rejects the messaging that more is better, othering is safer, masking is a baseline for acceptance, and that we’re fundamentally flawed and not enough.

That is my long form way of inviting you into surrendered participation with becoming through the intelligence of the natural world, your body, presence, your belonging, and the sacred as a part of our Spring Equinox Story Weaving 🌼🌼🌼.

Blessed Imbolc and year of the Fire Horse..been feelin into some ancient ley lines regarding fire as year of the fire horse emerges (more below and more to come in February’s newsletter for those of you subscribed to such fanciful things 🙃 link in bio).

Excerpt~

I am finding myself drawn to notice the rousings of my heart for this next cosmic, earthy, benevolent cycle. I think it’s part of the season of “in the belly”- allowing oneself to be touched and gestated by the rhythms, currents, and musings; the amniotic sac.

Amid the varied themes that are emerging, there is a common thread that connects them all- fire (hello year of the fire horse).

And some ancient ley lines that feel like guide posts for 2026 have appeared regarding the medicine of fire-

Tapas; Hestia & Hearth

Tapas🔥
In the grounded practice and philosophy of Yoga, there is the teaching of tapas, oftentimes translated to mean something along the lines of discipline. Tapas is also considered to be a flame- the flame of tapas that refines, transforms, burns away.

Discipline as a practice doesn’t automatically sound enticing and can be quite harmful when practiced in a rigid, abusive, harsh way.

I recently heard someone etymologically break down the word discipline to disciple and that reframe sparked something for me-

To genuinely engage in the practice of discipline as a transformative, therapeutic, soul evolving agent is to be a disciple.

What are you a disciple of [deep down in your marrow, core, heart; when no one is looking; when you feel safe enough]?

Hestia & Hearth🔥
I didn’t know much about the Goddess Hestia until recently. But her core tenets struck a chord within me-

The necessity of maintenance, tending, attentiveness.

Hestia is the hearth that demands our attention in the name of continuity. For though the hearth is steadfast, it is not without condition- it requires our participation.

Hestia invites us to tend the hearth; to tend the of cave of the heart or Hridaya in Sanskrit that houses the unwavering flame of the sacred that lives inside all aspects of creation…

🌕 Moonrise on & Sunrise on snow ☀️

“Because there is beauty & magic in the world there is belonging”- this insight came to me at my most recent somatic experiencing training after going through a round of practice sessions and taking the time to sit with the image of sunlight on water. The same words arose watching the snow interact with the landscape, the moon, the sun, my senses. Those words- “because there is beauty & magic in the world there is belonging” are not just words but a shape I can inhabit that brings me much hope and strength.

I wonder what those words and accompanying shape are for you…how would you finish the sentence and what shape-feelings, sensations, breath, posture, gesture, image(s) might it provoke in you?

Because there is/are _________ in the world, there is belonging ✨

Increasingly more drawn and curious about place and belonging- a revolution of belonging that isn’t new but rather old, that is interdependent and all the more alive, resilient, and meaningful for it.

“Without a sense of belonging to the world, we feel empty and our lives lack meaning” …”we become alienated from the wider ecosystem of which we’re a part” -Sharon Blackie

It may seem unrelated but I don’t believe it is- to remember and restory our relationship with place; land; nature is a part of dismantling the systems that cause harm.

When belonging is severed so is choice, creativity, care, collaboration, connection, and compassion- part of the mess we’re in.

Where do you plant your feet? What rivers, ranges, trees, plants, and creatures do you live alongside? How do they interact with the world and the seasons? What might they have to teach you without you imposing your ideas on them?

Also, in some ways I miss being more active on here and look forward to a widened capacity to after finishing this last semester of grad school ✨.

Tomorrow is our Solstice Story Weaving event 😊 and these little mullein babies will be part of our integration craft and something for participants to take home and utilize on the Winter Solstice.

I was thinking about what this offering means to me and what draws me to co-facilitate it and what I’ve discovered thus far is- space to unravel, to soften into a sense of belonging, okayness, inner knowing, and a sense of interconnectedness via mindfulness, somatic awareness and integration, writing and craft, community and nature.

It’s hard- being human, riding waves of change, becoming, navigating aspects of contemporary culture that are constricting and suffocating, and we’re not meant to do it alone.

There is something deeply magickal or keenly intelligent about the world we exist in, our bodies, our hearts, the earth, and our journeys and it is our intention to come home to that, together.
