We witness those brutally eradicated throughout the history of Irelands illegal occupation and mourn all including human, forests, and wolf.

While Rome never annexed Ireland 🇮🇪 they did colonize via the church arriving before Patrick in 400 AD.

“The Great Serpent Ouroboros is the Earth Dragon living forever in the underworld. Many Celtic healers appear with snakes, often associated with water, rivers and curative springs (entrances to the underworld). Serpents are frequently found on torcs, the sacred neck ornament of the Celtic kings and divinities, embodying the power of the earth, and eternal life. Every ancient mythology has some form of World Serpent. To the Celts, a symbol of her cosmic world-creating seed was the round, spiny sea-urchin. The Serpent was one of the most ancient symbols of female power, since both seemed to embody the power of life. The coiled serpent with its tail in its mouth is a circle of infinity and eternity, representing cyclical evolution and reincarnation.” Jen Delyth

I once had a whyt person concede that they believed I was indigenous even though my tattoos were all wrong.

I’ve had other whyt people tell me I couldn’t be indigenous because my circles aren’t “warm” and that’s after they’ve read all the warning labels about how my circles are spaces of decolonization.

I find it curious that the people who ask to sit with me, to sit with an indigenous voice to listen about their experience have a tendency of then cutting me off and then have the space filled by them telling me what a good person they are.

In other words… they don’t want my words, they don’t want to listen to my voice even though they built a “platform” for it.

So many people don’t want to learn as .angelldeer said to me this morning as we chatted in an upcoming podcast episode I’m excited to share with you soon.

To take it a step further as I was pulling weeds, feeding sheep, cleaning out chicken sh*¥t and more the land whispered to me … “ah see how it is like to be represented by those that don’t even ask to listen to your voice”.

There are so many green initiatives, save the animal initiatives, diversity initiatives and more and so many people speaking for this planet and for others without asking them how they want to presented.

I see it everyday, ANSWERS with NO QUESTIONS.

Yet there are few out there asking questions and then waiting to listen.

Do you ask questions just to try and prove your point? Yes, it can be a cultural aspect so be aware of the fact that not all cultures interact like western culture and consume answers with no questions.

This isn’t about judgement nor shame but about curiosity.

We are all here for different lessons and some are here to be the ones who asks no questions but has all the answers and if so then so it is and let them have their lesson.

And for those who are ready.. the circle is waiting for you to listen and join with curiosity.

Yes, a medicine path is challenging.
But the hardest part is that it’s asking you to be totally yourself.

It’s constantly asking you, “are you totally resolved? Are you living in joy? Or are you living in an old story?”

Many people don’t want to let go of their stories or conditioning, because they literally don’t know how, or don’t understand how they have value and safety outside of those stories.

The largest conditioning that we’ve been through for centuries is colonization and manifest destiny.

The challenge that my students face, and that I face as a teacher, is how to live IN this world but not be OF the dominant structures.

It’s not about leaving your job and living off the grid, necessarily.

Societies will rise and fall, and you can choose to thrive, or to deny your truth.

The path to freedom is hard because when yo’ve been living enslaved for lifetimes, you don’t even know what being free is like, you can’t even imagine it, so you don’t even know what it’s like to be resolved, and complete, and have joy to the degree that it’s possible, even in the face of suffering, of upheaval, and the unique challenges of this time.

CHOOSING to live here and now.
Not escaping out of having a physical, human experience.

This is the earth we have. This is the lifetime you were born into, FOR A REASON.

It is not about “creating a new earth.”
It’s about being the bridge between old ways of wisdom and knowing, and an emergent, collaborative, peaceful coexistence that MUST be different from the old ways, but also MUST be different from the dominant paradigm of consumption, extraction, exploitation, and disconnection, if humans want to survive.

You have reached the end of the line with escapist ideologies.

Being totally yourself is an act of great curiosity and courage, in a world that needs us to step up to the plate.

Step up, step in.

I was spending time with some old friends of my youth in Washington today. These friends are the trees, land, creek and song birds living in the forest beside my childhood home. And, oh, how I have missed them so. While sitting atop feets of beautiful snow, I received some insights to share:

Be content with where you are. Pause striving forward and reaching outside of yourself for the next excitement, product, happening, achievement, what have you. Seek to hear the stillness within. There is music in that stillness, and that music will remind you of your soul song.

Being deeply present with yourself is one of the greatest act of self love. The more you’re present with yourself, the less you feel the need to abandon yourself. The less you abandon yourself, the less physical ailments and intuitive cries will you override and ignore. The less physical ailments and erosion of self trust, the more fully embracing you are of your emotional landscape. Then, dear friends, you allow yourself to rise with quiet strength, in absolute centeredness and self possessiveness. Trusting in your internal compass and the unknown path before you.

Happy 2023, beauties!🌹

Song translation:
He manaʻo he aloha,
I have a feeling of love,

No ka ipo lei manu.
For my cherished sweetheart.

He manu kuʻu hoa,
My companion is a bird,

Noho mai i ka nahele.
Who dwells in the forest.

Keʻala o ka hala,
The fragrance of the hala,

Hala o mapuana.
Is borne on the wind.

Onaona i ka ihu,
Sweetly scented,

Keʻala pua loke.
Is the fragrance of the rose.

Year long journey of ritual

Our new cacao ritual boxes have been intentionally curated to support you for an ENTIRE YEAR.

From beginning to end, we have considered the medicine of the seasons, what plant allies to work with, how they will work with each other, and how the unfolding will carry you on a journey of support and replenishment.

They are an invitation into being consciously held by a story of ceremony, to have a monthly space to mark the rhythm of your life with a space of ritual with yourself.

They are an invitation to relax and be taken care of.
3 experienced practitioners have come together to create these monthly 4 part ritual boxes, so that you can allow yourself to be held in the midst of the hard work of being on a medicine path.

All of the relations and allies of each of us have supported us in being those practitioners that have created this journey for you.

Allow yourself to be held.
Come on this year long journey with us.
Ground into the rhythm of a regular personal ritual of radical self love.

The first step in being a practitioner who is holding ceremony within this new paradigm, is that you need to hold and welcome yourself. It may sound simple, but detaching from the matrix, decolonizing your sense of self from what you’ve been taught to be is some of the deepest work we can do as human beings. That is something you can begin doing today, in this very moment. And it is also an essential part of the work that we do in this ceremonial school. You might expect that we spend time learning about how to decorate a space, or exactly what to say, but the majority of what we focus on is how to be integrated within yourself, how to respect and protect yourself, and then how to respect and protect the medicina.

​

We’re going to work on you, because it’s not about you.

We’re going to learn how to have safe practices, strong boundaries, respect and honor of self, space, and medicine.

And your relationship with cacao will deepen from that of a commodity, to one of true friendship, teacher, healer and friend if you let her medicine change you.
