Here is a final call out to join me in New Mexico next month (July 7 - 12) for a lovely women's retreat of deep nature immersion in a gorgeous, remote part of northeastern New Mexico. This is a small group where we drop into dreaming and liminal states to more directly experience the outstanding beauty and magic of the natural world. This might well be my final offering of this particular program so if you have been thinking of coming, do consider this one. If you need a discount - don't be shy and reach out to me directly.

But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the ...
