Hilary Lake Healing Arts How can this affect my life? Earth
Connecting with the place and honoring the indigenous history and people of the land as well as our own ancestry.

Hilary Lake Healing Arts is cultivating a culture of connection by supporting empaths and caregivers to heal through life transitions and changes in nurturing relationship with all beings. Vision
In a world where there is collective trauma, embedded systems of oppression and therefore great harm and disconnection, Hilary is committed to co-creating inclusive and welcoming spaces for individuals and communities to honor the feminine, the body and the Earth as we remember our connection to and receive nurturing support from the web of life. Mission
We are all bridges between the Earth and the Sky in constant change with the elements and Hilary co-creates inclusive and welcoming spaces that allow for the shifts that are needed in our personal and communal lives to open to this nurturing relatedness with all of life. She does this by offering her healing arts community ministry in the form of body-mind integrative counseling, grief guidance, ritual and ceremonial guidance, astrology, speaking, sharing art, classes, workshops and retreats as well as healing products. By learning about and fulfilling unmet needs within ourselves and being compassionately present with the needs of others and our environment, we are able to take the risk to expand ourselves to create the change that we are called to create in our own lives and in the lives of others. Ethers

Amidst the back and forth, up and down, thaw and freeze intensity of spring and what we are facing in the world, can we be present to the raw, tender, quiet parts of us that are calling for our attention and coming back to life?

How do you and can you care for what is emerging from within your depths and that wants to find belonging and expression?

How can we hold sacred space for each other to feel, to share and to co-create beauty together?

Come on Thursday to the soul song circle to practice with me. We’ll be gathering at 7pm in the chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church 1020 E Mitchell St Petoskey.

All are welcome and you don’t have to consider yourself a singer. You can just come to feel held in the resonance of our connected souls. And you can bring a song or two to share.

Donations appreciated and not required. Learn more through the link in my bio.

Feeling filled up and excited for what’s to come after gathering with about 300 folks for the Community Sing for Justice and Peace in Traverse City yesterday.

We sang a bunch of the Singing Resistance songs that have been sung on the streets of Minneapolis and now around the country as group are forming and engaging nationwide. Check out to learn more.

And in Petoskey we will have a gathering on Sunday, March 15th to raise funds for Immigration Law & Justice Michigan to support immigrants held at Baldwin Detention Facility. Join us at 2pm at the Chapel of Our Guardian Angel 812 Petoskey St.

And we will continue to meet for the Soul Song Circle this Thursday, March 12th at 7-8:30pm in the chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church with the theme of Emergence guiding us.

Learn more: We'll be coming back together again this coming Thursday for our next soul song circle with the theme of Emergence.

While it has felt like the spring the last few days, we know that spring is a process of oscillation and sometimes this moving between extremes can open up energies and experiences of the unknown.

This song "Hold On" (written by Heidi Wilson) in the video was sung at the Community Sing for Justice and Peace in Traverse City this past Sunday and is a part of the Singing Resistance movement spreading across our country, it's also a powerful song about emergence and trusting that something else is coming, something new is dawning amidst all that we are facing.

This is one song that we will be singing together among many others that will support us to care for our hearts and souls amidst this tenuous time.

Join us this Thursday, March 12th 7-8:30pm in the chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church to sing into spring with more inner resource amidst all her flavors and energies.

Come sing some emergent and tender songs to care for your heart, soul and spirit amidst everything else.

Donations appreciated and not required. All welcome, no singing experience needed, really!

We are weaving webs of compassion across the country together through song for justice and peace through the singing resistance movement and you can join us too!

Our local Petoskey group had our first gathering this weekend and will be joining with the on March 8th at the Presbyterian Church of Traverse City at 3pm if you’d like to join in.

Also I’ll be holding another soul song circle on Thursday, March 12th at 7pm again in the chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal church in Petoskey.

Our theme will be Emergence as that which breaks through what has been in new creative ways. How are you preparing for what is and will be emerging?

No experience with singing needed, just openness to express and be enveloped in sound. Donations appreciated. Learn more through the link in my bio.

This song is one that came through me and my partner August helped with the third part. It helps me practice and remember that each action can be one of compassion, trust and integration if I can bring a skillful perspective to it.

How are you practicing compassionate weaving these days? Join us to be in community in the practice and bring a song or two yourself!

Join in community to sing songs of resistance inspired by the Singing Resistance movement emerging out of Minneapolis. We’ll be talking about if we want to become a singing resistance group ourselves or not. Thursday, Feb 12th 7-8:30pm in the octagon chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Petoskey.

02/11/2026

Here’s a couple songs that we’ll be singing on Thursday evening at our February soul song circle inspired by the Singing Resistance movement emerging out of Minneapolis.

I had the opportunity to join 3,000+ others on a training this Sunday and I’ll be sharing about their vision, goals and purpose to see if we want to become a singing resistance group.

In the videos I’m singing at the Creative Cafe with a few friends (who preferred not to be on screen) and in the octagon chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church with us singing together it’s gonna sound sweet!

Join us, this Thursday, February 12th 7-8:30pm in the chapel at 1020 E Mitchell St. Petoskey.

The first song is from Jordan Blain and the second came through me with a little help from August.

How are you navigating the waves of change that we collectively facing in the so called United States?

How are you finding ways to show up for not just yourself, not just your family, for all families and all your neighbors?

It can be unclear, overwhelming, confusing and disorienting. I don’t have answers and I’m very much inspired by the Singing Resistance movement that has formed in Minneapolis and is growing to sing together amidst the horrific harm we are witnessing across our country and around the world. This is one way we can resource ourselves together to cultivate true resilience.

I’m excited to offer a space in Petoskey for us to sing together on a monthly basis at the soul song circle and our next one is Thursday, February 12th 7-8:30pm.

The theme will be singing resistance to be solidarity with those in Minneapolis, Minnesota and everyone facing trauma and harm around the world as we resource ourselves to keep showing up and taking action.

In gratitude for everyone who is showing up in the ways that we can day by day.

The 2026 Sidereal Moon Calendar is complete and ready to be sent out into the world on this first new moon of the year!

While I don't consider myself a visual artist, I do love the grounding, focus and reflection that creating this calendar the last few years has offered me at the turning of the Gregorian calendar. That said, this calendar offers a balanced look at the Sun and the Moon while giving the true 13 sign sidereal Sun sign dates. Learn more about true 13 sign sidereal astrology here: https://oneskyastro.com/true-sidereal/

Why would that be helpful you might ask? Is what you're feeling in your embodiment in relationship to other bodies important to you? Is connecting science and spirituality important to you?
This is about our collective relationship to our cosmic family (mostly Earth, Sun, Moon and constellations) and how that shows up for us in the Northern hemisphere in alignment with the Celtic cycle of the year that informed at least half of my ancestors and many European ancestors for many generations.

It has helped me to feel more connected to how what I'm feeling is related to the Earth, Sun, the Moon, the stars and my ancestors offering me a larger perspective amidst everything else that is changing and feels so intense right now. There's a sense of renewal and rhythm that is possible with a longer view and an invitation to remember that we are a part of these cycles and can remember to realign ourselves with them too. And it helps me to see what’s worth fighting for and protecting so that these natural cycles continue for our descendants and many generations to come.

If you have questions I'm here for them! DM me.

I print a very small batch and the shipping costs quite a bit, so if you buy more than one there's a discount. Also there's a 10% discount through the end of the month.

How can we be present to the crises that we are facing and how that shows up in our own bodies while we are navigating our own personal changes and challenges in creative & life-giving ways?

This is a question I live with daily and have been seeking guidance to grow through to be able to be more present, embodied and available to show up with more integrity in all areas in my life.

I can’t say that I have the answer, I don’t believe there’s a one size fits all answer. I do have practices that I engage in and am in exploration with others about. The more I’m in dialogue and experimentation with others, the more I learn. How about you?
What I’m learning about myself is that I need time to ground, rest & notice that I am held, supported and connected. I also need a safe sacred space in which I can welcome my emotions to move through me as I allow my body to take the shape of what I am feeling. From there I need to imagine what else is possible and to invite my being to evolve and grow through what I am experiencing. To trust that I can take the risk to create myself anew or at least create something from the pain. That might be a drawing, a poem, a prayer, a song, a dance or even just a connection. I also need to feel that I am co-creating, not in a vacuum alone, that my ancestors, the Earth, Spirit, community, family are in the process with me.

What do you need? If you’d like to explore this question in a creative way in community, I invite you to join me for Creating Through Change: the art of crafting sacred space, a 6 week course happening at Crooked Tree Art Center starting January 15th and on Thursdays evenings 6:30-8:30pm until February 19th.

This is about meeting the moment that we are all in together and that each of us are in individually as an intimate community, to support each other to discover what we each truly need and yearn to create. We are creating to connect with our souls and the call that each of us has in this lifetime. We will use the Social Change Ecosystem Map included here as a resource to discern how we are called to contribute the collective change that we are in together.

Do you feel the call?

Here’s the link to learn more and register before January 13th.

Our Story

Moving in Grace is an expressive arts ministry offering mindful embodiment guidance for individuals, groups and communities to cultivate resilience through inner and outer reconciliation.

It is a way of being in the world, in relationship with oneself, all beings, the Earth and the Infinite with deep trust that we are innately guided and if we cultivate reconciliation within we are more likely to be able to do the outer work of reconciliation.

It is a way of life that integrates spiritual consciousness into all daily activities with an emphasis on activism.

There are many ways that one can bring a space of grounded awareness in and rest in this ground as one’s home and Hilary offers ways that can powerfully shift your life towards a more integrated embodiment of your highest and deepest held beliefs through enjoyable, creative and even blissful practices and perspectives to InBody the Change.
