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 an

d 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
Cultivating awareness internally in both stillness and movement, sounding and silence to stay present with feelings and sensations while alone and in action in relationship with others. Discerning our needs and how to fulfill these needs in ways that honor all of life. Water
Cultivating intimacy with ourselves and others to create a sense of greater safety and trust in our lives. Fire
Discovering and owning our personal power, privilege, sovereignty, and capacity in relationship and in community. Air
Expressing our truth through creativity and in collaborative co-creation with others. Integrity
Honoring one’s authenticity in the moment within the current alignment and continuing to be curious about what else is possible. We are all on a healing journey in our own ways and no one heals someone else. We are simply able to support each other in our own natural healing process. Inclusion
Welcoming all aspects of self, beings, cultures, stories, identities, orientations and abilities as valuable and important. Creative Empowerment
Trust that we can all uplift ourselves through our own creative process

Balance
The ever shifting process of change that is a moving experience of equanimity and harmony. Interdependence
All is woven together in the sacred web of life.

The trees are standing tall and growing out their flowers and leaves into the spring.

How are called to also stand tall and growing out our flowers and leaves together?

This song came through while resting beneath a tree in September and I realized I needed to trust in the process of letting go, give away, nourish all and resting into the winter. On the other side of the year I’m viscerally feeling the call to stand tall, grow out, receive light and root down to prepare for the cycle all over again. This is the tree cycle and what we all go through each year to some extent with the trees. What if we were more conscious of this cycle and fully honored the light and dark?

How are you called to welcome in the light and to blossom into the spring with all that is opening around you?

It doesn’t have to look of be perfect, I’ve been giving up perfection more and more to actually receive what is and enjoy exactly what is. What does blossoming look and feel like without perfection ideals?

Come blossom into being human and sing with others who want to resonate in the beauty of being just who we are together.

The next soul song circle and last one in the chapel until the fall is Thursday, May 21st 7-8:30pm at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

The theme is Blossoming Open and you’re invited to bring songs to share too or just enjoy being in the sound receiving song. By donation and for all voices and bodies.

How is the spring growing you lately?

Are you being called to expand like the grass and tender ephemerals to reach towards the sun amidst and after the deluge of the waters?

Who are you growing with in an intentional way and who would you like to grow with?

Growing together is the theme of the next Moving Resilience, the community movement gathering that I’ve been holding at Yoga Roots Petoskey on a monthly basis and we are coming together again on Friday, April 24th at 7pm.

Growing together requires a shared sense of safety in intimacy amidst feeling connected in the waters or emotions of life. Safety is a touchy topic, and for me safety is the ability to take the risk to be all of who we are. If I’m feeling safe, I know I can express myself openly. I may feel uncomfortable, I may invite others to feel uncomfortable, and there is acceptance of it all. We know we can return to a space of relative comfort and ease if we want to and we can take the risk to stretch ourselves too.

While intimacy is often used to talk about our relationship with another person, what if we focused on intimacy with ourselves while we are in relationship with anyone or any being, even a flower or a tree?

How can we be with all that we are feeling?
What if we are able to explore being with and moving with more curiosity about our experience of being in a body and in community as we welcome our emotions to guide us towards what’s most alive?

What if we can trust the movement of the spiral to guide us back into and out of ourselves into connection with others?

These are a few of the questions that I’ve been moving with and that we’ll be moving and exploring with together during the Moving Resilience gathering on Friday. There will be opening and closing circles with an hour long play list and gentle verbal guidance throughout. Donation based and no registration required. All are welcome!

and come move in community and grow together into the spring.

Are you feeling the warmth of spring emerging slowly?

What are you growing for yourself and with others at this time?

The fire is alive within us and is awakening around us a little bit at a time now. (Especially slowly if you are in Northern Michigan!)

A couple weeks ago for the Equinox, I had the great blessing to be in earth honoring community with the to co-create intuitive rituals to support each other and collective awakening and it was fire! 🔥❤️‍🔥 Here’s a clip from my soul emergence ritual singing one of the soul songs that has come through me.

I’m tending to that fire within and around me as I invite others to join in the song and to support each other’s growth as we move into this growing season together.

Come join in the shared resonance at the next soul song circle happening this coming Thursday, April 9th at 7pm in the chapel at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Petoskey. Learn more https://hilarylake.com/event/soul-song-circle/?et_fb=1&PageSpeed=off

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.

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!
