One year ago today, the land at The Untamed Gathering Place was unrecognizable—hit hard by a powerful storm that left the trails in ruins. What followed was a season of deep tending, rebuilding, and listening.

Today, I walked those same trails on my own private Forest Therapy walk. I left the pup resting in the cabin, laid in the hammock, and let the Earth hold me—drifting into a quiet nap, wrapped in the rhythm of the land.

Earlier this week, another storm passed through, but this time, only a few branches fell. No major damage. Nature reminds us that destruction may come again—but so will renewal.

Thank you to each of you who helped restore this place. You’ve not only helped rebuild trails—you’ve helped shape a sanctuary. And we’re just getting started.

The Land as a Gathering Place

Yesterday, we reopened The Untamed Gathering Place, a space that has been shaping itself as much as we have been shaping it. This land has held so much—storms and stillness, breaking and rebuilding, grief and healing. And through it all, it has remained a place where women come together, not just to connect, but to do the deep work of healing—both individually and collectively.

For years, I’ve been on my own journey of unlearning, stepping away from one-sided patterns of showing up for others and learning the beauty of reciprocity. This land has been my greatest teacher in that. It reminds me that true belonging isn’t about constantly giving without receiving, but about creating spaces where we are all held, supported, and seen.

The women who walk this land with me—those pictured and those represented in spirit—are part of that unfolding story. They bring their own journeys, their own wounds, their own wisdom. And in doing so, they help make this place what it is: a sanctuary for healing, connection, and transformation.

Opening this land again is more than just clearing trails and making space—it’s about honoring what it has always been: a place that welcomes, holds, and restores. A place where we show up for ourselves and each other. A place that reminds us we are never alone.

✨ What a beautiful confirmation that magic is unfolding on this land. ✨

This evening, I was gifted a visual reminder that this journey is a true partnership—between the land, the elements, and the energy we bring. I am filled with gratitude for the way it speaks, for the way it moves, and for the way it continues to reveal its wisdom.

The paths have shifted—visibly altered, yet somehow more grounded. Is it them, or is it me? Perhaps the distinction doesn’t matter. Change has woven its way through this season, shaping us all. And now, as Spring calls, we step forward—not as who we were, but as who we are becoming.

After months of effort, with the help of our family, friends, and the hard work of Triple J Services , we’ve finally rounded the last corner on cleaning up from the storm in May. It’s been a team effort to clear the land and restore this space, and we’re excited about the progress we’ve made!

Now, with all the big debris gone, we can begin pouring love and energy into the trails once more.

Stay tuned for this spring when we celebrate our official reopening and begin guiding walks on the land again. We can’t wait to welcome you back to connect with nature and the trails that hold so much meaning.

Thank you for your patience and support as we’ve worked toward this milestone—it means the world to us! 🌿

This morning’s sunrise took my breath away—a stunning reminder that someone else is in charge of this beautiful thing called life. My job? Simply to show up, stay present, and notice the beauty all around me. ✨🌅

The past few days have been spent here on the land, simply being—with the trails, the trees, and the energy that has rushed in with the start of a new year, just before the hard freeze.

As I sat this morning, I was reminded of a simple truth: the sun continues to rise, and time moves on. Last year brought its fair share of heartache and loss, both here on the land and in my personal life. But as I step into this next season, I do so rooted into this sacred land.

It will never be the same, and yet, for that very reason, it will be beautifully different. I’m grateful for the lessons, for the changes, and for the opportunity to grow alongside this sacred space.

Here’s to embracing what comes next. 🌅

It feels so good—and so encouraging—to walk the trails and witness the restoration happening. The trails will never be the same, and yet, they mirror back to me… neither will I.

Everything has a season, and this one has taught me that love often carries heartbreak. Partnership doesn’t always mean I get my way. And ultimately, Mother Nature is in the driver’s seat—not me.

As the trails heal, so do I. We’re both finding a new way forward.

This picture has no filters or adjustments—just as it is, in all its raw and honest beauty. ❤️
