🌬️🕊️🫖🌿🧄🍵🙏 Food is a Healing Art, and cooking is one my mediums. I love to forage, and make a variety of seasonal food. Homeade soup is a big “thing” for me. I sold soup, seasonal pestos, homemade salad dressings, yogurt, mayo and honey mustard, and veggies and herbs (little tidbit) during Covid on my Soup Goddess page and at Papa’s Earth CSA. It was so gratifying for me. I loved every moment.

🤍 Intentional food, lovingly prepared is so important, and that is why I serve food at my events. Really, what is better than a home cooked meal? It doesn’t have to be a huge meal, an earthy charcuterie is fab! It is about the food, the intention, and the connection in gathering and breaking bread, right? What I love the most is witnessing people’s surprise and delight at being served a simple meal. This is roots and ritual, and it is my small way of bringing it back in our world.

💚🍵🧄🫜🌿🍵 So, here’s what has been on the menu the last few days. Greek Chicken Lemon Rice Soup, Beet Green Pesto, Beet Tumeric & Rhubarb Kombucha will be served at Spring Equinox Sonic Smudge Sacred Frame Drum Journey Friday Eve at Align Sacred Space, with homemade bread from The Barefoot Gardener (thank you Chasity!) with a beautiful butter board, and some other surprises! We love to pamper you at our healing events! ❤️🙏

🧅I also made homemade French Onion Soup yesterday, because, I was hungry for it, and had an extra bag of onions. So, why not? PS - it was yummy!

❤️Sharing a lifestyle…

❤️🪘🙏 Our Drum Meditation tonight with Jon’s 12 inch Bear drum. He was really resonating and deep tonight. Wow. Makwa could feel the fire, so could Jon and I. A great way to end the eve for 4 minutes of nervous system love before bedtime.

🕊️ Invocation To The Mother - Lisa Dancing-Light

❤️🪘❤️ Please drum with me! (Bluetooth is really resonating!)

💫 As a spirit guide, the bear is not just a symbol, it is a presence, a force, and often, a teacher that shows up when you are being asked to remember your own strength. Bear medicine often arrives when your nervous system is overloaded, guiding you to trust your body’s rhythms, and allow space for integration and well-being. It teaches us to be fierce when necessary, to protect the ones we love, and just as importantly, to protect ourselves; our time, our peace, our truth.

❤️🪘🪈🕊️🌊💫 Today was a magical
day of rhythm, creation, nature, connection, and community! Such magic.

❤️🦌🫎💫 When you birth a drum with us, you create a vivid and visceral connection to sound as medicine, healing as a journey, and nature as ally and inspiration.

🌟🪄🌟🥁🌟🪄🌟Wow! The drums created today are just magnificent! Two elk spirit and 3 deer spirit, all so unique, in the hands of four beautiful, unique humans, with four intentions for their healing journey with the drum. I cannot wait to hear their voices. It was an honor to spend the day with you all. The light in me recognizes and honors the light in each of you. Deep Gratitude.❤️🙏

🦌The deer drum that I created will be available to purchase when it is finished. I wonder who this healing drum will choose for its human?

❤️The drum shows up in your life when it is time for transformation. I witnessed that today.

✨❤️🪘🕊️💫 Are you feeling like you need pause from what life is bringing in right now? Are you holding emotions or pain somewhere in your body, or going through a big life transition?
Or maybe you just don’t know what it is?!

🌟🪘🌟 Our bodies are our sacred temples, our unique personal vessels, and we hold so much in them. Our culture has taught us to push through it, keep moving, don’t stop…. Well, how do we truly heal, when we do that?

❤️❤️ Research shows that the nervous system slows down to heal when we slow down, find our tools, and learn how to move within. The drum is an ancient rhythmic healing tool, we are born with an innate sense of rhythm, and our bodies are natural rhythm drivers. This mini-retreat eve will be all about tuning in, and listening to the ✨Divine Whispers✨of your body, our of the mind and through the soul, with the guidance of rhythm, resonance, rebozo wrapping and closing the bones ritual, and so much more. You are invited to join us in the tranquil cocoon of the ambient Halo2 Wellness Center & Himalayan Salt Cave for a beautiful evening of ancient healing arts.

🌟🌟🌟Event page and details to come in the next few days. Save the Date please!

❤️ Thank you for being well.

A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Imagine yourself as this woman.

A woman who is available to herself.
Who chooses friends and lovers with the capacity to respect her solitude.

Imagine a woman who acknowledges the full range of human emotion.
A woman who expresses her feelings clearly and directly.
Who allows them to pass through her as naturally as the breath.

A woman who trusts her experience of the world and expresses it.
Who refuses to defer to the perceptions, thoughts, and responses of others.

Imagine a woman who follows her creative impulses.
A woman who produces original creations.
Who refuses to color inside someone else's lines.

Imagine a woman who has relinquished the desire for intellectual approval.
A woman who makes a powerful statement with every action she takes.
Who asserts to herself the right to reorder the world.

Imagine a woman who has grown in knowledge and love of herself.
A woman who has vowed faithfulness to her own life.
Who remains loyal to herself. Regardless.

Imagine yourself as this woman.
