🌬️🪘🦴🌿🧘‍♂️🎶🔮🕊️💫 Are you feeling the need for some ☀️🌿🕊️ Spring growth? Ancient Healing Arts Tuesday is almost here again! And, it is almost time to open the outdoor studio, and tomorrow, you have herbal samples to take home! Hope to see you tomorrow at 11:00 AM.

🌬️❤️You are invited to join us for a magical morning of healing, while connecting to your body’s natural rhythm, resonance & embodied presence. We will open our senses with passing an herbal alchemy basket, connect to the elements, and earths changing rhythms, with our own inner rhythm, embodied movement, resonance, remembering, and beautiful breath tones and voice, as we foster deep healing presence. Let’s see what tomorrow’s session calls for when you get here. We’ll curate your personal session together. We all need that, this week!

❤️ After our sessions, the reports are; the deepest breath practice ever, with such a deep, safe, and comforting feeling of coming home, never feeling that connected within, feeling swaddled, the resonate energy with rhythm of the healing drum, awareness of energy and aura, profound “noticing,” connection in inner harmonics with toning, feeling body and emotional clarity within, sense of personal belonging back, noticing where the energy and flow was “congested” or not moving, anxiety release, tears of joy, profound renewal & release, connection to the divine feminine, blood pressure lowered, blood sugar and pain levels drastically lowered, and more! Wow, what a testimonial to rhythmic embodied ancient healing arts.

🙏🌀🙏 Let’s create more of this tomorrow. YOU are portal! Please text Sandy @810-323-3700, to reserve your mat.

🌬️🌿🌎🌳🐝🪴🪏🙏Sage/Crone Musings…

🌎🌿☀️ Embracing seasonal and foraged food, cooking and eating with the rhythm of the year, naturally aligns our internal bodies with the earth’s shifts, and a beautiful harmony with nature. I always think about that when I’m in the woods foraging, in the garden, or at farmer’s markets. I feel more connected to Mother Earth, who has always been my most influential guide. I have such fond memories of my grandparents and parents, deeply rooted in gardening. Even if we don’t grow it, buying produce at markets, supports our local farmers & people, (collectively) and is so much more sustainable. 💚 And…. I am a foody, and love great tasty, fresh food, and like to know where my food comes from, especially when I am cooking! I have to admit, I love to create new soup, salad dressing, and pesto recipes! It’s gratifying for me.

💚 Foraging and cooking seasonal food acts as a grounding, spiritual, and meditative practice, for me, as well. I often pause to play flute or drum, feeling such great sparks of creativity. It is an anchor in my chaos. Two people that came for home visits last week, both said, “You’re always in the kitchen when I come, and it always smells so good.” That makes me happy for them. In their chaotic travel and work on the road every day, they have a little break from it here. I might be known to send a jar of homemade soup, or some carrot sticks and pesto of the week with them when they leave! 💛🙏

🌿🪏🍅🥬 It is getting close to garden season, so it’s time to think about planting. Our veggie gardens are much smaller these days, but that’s okay. Pots and urns grow great veggies, the herbs are prolific, markets are opening, and Mother’s Day is my foraging day! Woohoo!

💚🪏🌎🌿Spring garden musings soon.

🌬️🪘🌕🌿🫖🌟🧚🏼‍♀️🦴💫 Last night was absolutely magical with these amazing women at Full Moon Frame Drum Circle & Water Ceremony.

🌬️🪘🔥🪻🌎 The rhythm, resonance, heart connection, and sacred healing energy was palpable with the full moon and Beltane. The connection to the divine with ancient frame drum cosmology, and the sacred vessel that it is, was so vivid and visceral, connecting us to the physical and spiritual worlds. Infusing Earth’s ancient healing arts modalities, truly was a "living mandala" or a bridge between humanity, nature, and the divine. Just wow, I am still resonating.

🌟🔥🪘💛🌕🐝💫 Deep gratitude to all of you for coming as you are, and bringing what YOU each personally bring to our gathering space. And such loving gratitude for the warm and welcome sacred container of Align Sacred Space, so true to its namesake, Chasity Griffis. 🙏 💚🫖 The light in me recognizes and honors the unique light in each of you.

🌕🪘🌕 Save the Date for June 5, our next frame drum gather, same time, same place! Event page soon. Please register right away save your space! Hope to see you next month.

🌳🪾💚 I love this so much. I’ve been known to drag few fallen branches and tree trunks home!

A branch fell off your oak last fall. You've been meaning to haul it to the curb. It's been on the ground for six months.

In that time, it became an apartment building.

Year one: Fungi colonize the exposed wood. You can see the first brackets forming on the bark — small, shelf-like growths that are breaking down the lignin and cellulose inside. The branch is getting softer.

By year two or three: Beetle larvae have tunneled into the softened wood. Their galleries — winding channels the width of a pencil lead — aerate the interior. Woodpeckers find the branch and drill into it to extract the larvae.

By year five: A red-backed salamander has moved into one of the beetle galleries. She lives in the damp, rotting wood and hunts pill bugs, mites, and springtails on the surface. The branch is now a hunting ground and a shelter.

By year ten: The branch is mostly soil. The fungi, the beetles, the salamander, the woodpecker — they converted a fallen limb into nutrients that are feeding the tree it fell from.

🌿 A different way to see the branch:

- A fallen branch is not debris — it's a building under construction
- If it's not blocking a path, leave it where it fell
- The fungi that colonize it aren't disease — they're decomposers doing their job
- One fallen branch can support more than thirty species over its lifetime

You almost hauled it to the curb. Thirty species are using it now. 🌿

🌬️🌕🌿🪻Happy May Day! I started my day with Beltane Dew Ceremony, and feeling really alive! Please go outside and put you feet in the dew. It feels amazing! Oh, and if you grow lamb’s ear, wipe the dewy leaves on your face. The dewy leaves make your face feel like velvet! 💚🌿
