Katie Mac and I are offering a playful women's workshop this weekend at Aloha Keene and hope you can join us! We'll be exploring our creative "minds eye" together, through exercises, meditations and embodied experiences that strengthen our ability to weave the "sight beyond sight" into our daily lives.

We'll share some of our spiritual experiences and the meanings we attribute to them. And we'll have time to dive deeper into divination, tree, plant and animal communication and the many ways we can open, observe and be guided by, the great mystery and oneness within and without (above and below) all of us.
Expect the unexpected!

Please share with any woman (cis- and non-cis-gendered) who you feel might be interested. No one turned away for lack of funds. Sliding scale for women who need it. Just PM me.

Ahhhh…spring 🌱

Life As Lover

Right now, in the heat of Beltane, the wild realm is expressing itself so loudly and so boldly that we just need to step beyond our doorstep to receive its direct, powerful truth-speak: life is our ardent lover.

How can we doubt this in the light of life’s wondrous love offerings: the hot kiss of sunshine on bare skin; dawn’s glorious chorus of birdsong; a meadow blanket of wildflowers; the soft, sweet bite of a fresh-picked strawberry; the bubbling laughter of a toddling child; and the electric stroke of a lover’s touch?

Our relationship with life isn’t monogamous; we share life’s ardour with all growing things of this Earth. At Beltane, life comes courting, gathering every one of us into its lover’s embrace. S*x and birth are everywhere — delicious, unstoppable, untameable — as plants, flowers, birds, bees and creatures, great and small, mingle, mate and burst forth new life in a stunning, overflowing brilliance.

These wild impulses run hot in our blood, no matter our attempts to block or deny them. We soften and open with the sensual tease of the strengthening sun. We delight in the enticing scents of unfurling buds of plant and flower. The primal juice of the creature realm sings to our creature flesh, awakening our feral instincts to make love and make life. And deeper still, life’s lover powers stir the mysteries in the core of our being, igniting our hunger to birth and nurture our soul’s latent desires.

Dive deep into the mysteries of Beltane with The Path of She Book of Sabbats. Available in paperback and e-book: https://amzn.to/3UqXbIU

I’m really looking forward to our upcoming women’s circle at Everglow Wellness —hope you can join us! The new moon in Capricorn supports us to explore ways we are walking in our truth, and ways we may be out of alignment. Being together in circle ⭕️ invites a deeper introspection and shared experiences. The new year is a great opportunity to take stock, realign and move forward in clarity and with the support of other beautiful women.

Join us!

We are so excited to start offering Women's Circles at the studio!

Join us for a starlit evening of Women’s magic as together we rewild, reimagine, and realign ourselves to our natural rhythms + cycles of the moon. Together we’ll rediscover the unique kinds of energetic support the moon has to offer each one of us as she moves through her different phases in the night sky. You’ll be invited to deepen your connection to the wisdom of your body, the cycles of your body, soul + heart. 🌙

sometimes I wonder
if Mary breastfed Jesus.
if she cried out when he bit her
or if she sobbed when he would not latch.
and sometimes I wonder
if this is all too vulgar
to ask in a church
full of men
without milk stains on their shirts
or coconut oil on their breasts
preaching from pulpits
off limits to the Mother of God.

but then i think of feeding Jesus,
birthing Jesus,
the expulsion of blood
and smell of sweat,
the salt of a mother’s tears
onto the soft head of the Salt of the Earth,
feeling lonely
and tired
hungry
annoyed
overwhelmed
loving
and i think,

if the vulgarity of birth is not
honestly preached
by men who carry power but not burden,
who carry privilege but not labor,
who carry authority but not submission,
then it should not be preached at all.

because the real scandal of the Birth of God
lies in the cracked ni***es of a
14 year old
and not in the sermons of ministers
who say women
are too delicate
to lead.
