The Song of Raven

When the world was cloaked in endless night,
the people prayed, their drums calling to the sky.
The cedar smoke curled upward like rivers of spirit,
carrying chants to the unseen world.

From the longhouse, carved with the faces of ancestors,
the Haida gathered, their voices weaving a circle of sound.
Children danced with masks of wood and paint,
elders struck the great drums,
and the fire leapt high, telling stories in flame.

Then came Raven, feathered in shadow,
eyes burning with hunger for mischief and light.
He tricked the old man who guarded the sun,
snatched it in his beak,
and carried it through the smoke of creation.

The people gasped as dawn broke for the first time,
the cedar forest glowing with fire from the heavens,
the sea shimmering like a mirror of the sky.
The Raven’s wings beat against the new day,
and the songs of the Haida rose higher,
praising the trickster, the giver, the thief of light.

At the potlatch, gifts were offered in his honor—
blankets woven with stories,
feathers tied with prayers,
salmon shared as sacred sustenance.
For every gift Raven gave, the people gave in return,
honoring the eternal exchange of life.

And so, in every festival, in every mask,
Raven lives—both jester and creator,
reminding the people that light is born from daring,
and even in shadows, there lies the seed of renewal.

The humming bird has always been special to the women of my family.

Hummingbird — Keeper of Lightness
She does not walk the earth,
but hovers between heartbeats,
a flicker of emerald flame
where time forgets to move.
Her wings are prayers made visible—
a thousand beats per breath,
a thousand songs too swift
for sorrow to catch.
To the people, she is joy woven small,
a reminder that even the tiniest spirit
can carry the weight of hope.
She drinks from flowers as from dreams,
teaching that sweetness is found
only by those who pause to taste it.
Where she appears, grief softens,
where she lingers, laughter returns.
She is proof that beauty is not bound by size,
that life, even fleeting, can shine eternal.
We call it Tsu’meya — She Who Brings Back the Morning.

I have been on an energetic hiatus, taking time to recharge and re-evaluate my focus, routines, and goals. Recent experiences have required me to adapt and reorganize my space, time, and practices, leading to a period of introspection, self-purification, and realignment with my highest purpose. It is essential for me to maintain my own alignment before sharing energy with others. Thanks to the assistance of my partner and the Mindful Methods community, I am starting to resurface. A newly revitalized version of myself is emerging, much like a butterfly's metamorphosis.

Join us for an evening of deep rest, vibrational healing, and inner alignment during our Group Sound Immersion Session led by Stacey.

Let the healing frequencies of crystal singing bowls and sacred instruments wash over you — releasing tension, balancing your energy, and guiding you into a state of peace and renewal.

Sound immersion is a powerful practice for clearing stagnant energy, supporting emotional healing, and reconnecting with your inner stillness. No experience is needed — simply come as you are, lie back, and receive.

Give yourself the gift of this midweek reset.
