Long before the modern world coined the term "post-traumatic stress," there were cultures that deeply understood the invisible wounds left by war. Among several African communities, a warrior returning from battle was not immediately welcomed back into everyday life. Instead, he entered a sacred period of transition—often lasting three lunar cycles—under the guidance and care of a spiritual healer or shaman. This was not punishment, nor exile. It was a ritual of healing, acknowledging that violence scars more than just the body; it disrupts the balance of the soul.
These ancient practices recognized war as a force that fractures the spirit. The belief was that the returning warrior carried with him a chaotic energy, a spiritual imbalance that could endanger both himself and his community if left unaddressed. One of the oldest healing rituals involved placing animal horns on the skin to draw out “stagnant blood”—a method akin to cupping therapy. Later dubbed “African cupping” by colonizers, this technique was more than medicine. It was a ceremonial act—a way of releasing not just physical toxins, but the unspoken pain and emotional residue of violence.
Today, we call it trauma; they called it spiritual imbalance. In our hypermodern, clinical world, where trauma is often treated with pills and silence, there’s something profoundly wise in these ancestral traditions. They remind us that healing is not just about treating symptoms, but about restoring harmony—within oneself, and with the world around. Perhaps, in the rush to advance, we've overlooked the power of ritual, community, and soul-level care. And perhaps, it’s time to remember.

Some days we need a little extra love and support, and other days we have a little extra to spread around. Sometimes I like to spread my extra to the unseen worlds around us as well as to this awe inspiring planet herself.

Feel free to join me some time!! It is in giving that we receive✨

Another amazing opportunity to share wellness tips and healing techniques at a conference that keeps getting better. Thank you Arizona for bridging the gap between mental health and holistic wellbeing. I’m so grateful to be able to share offerings with this receptive, motivated group.

Keep up the great work! See you all again next year.

I had a wonderful time playing for our local community at Olive's Vineyard Café. We broke out the Alchemy Crystal to Ring in 2025 with a great yoga class and a proper frequency healing. The money raised will go to a local animal shelter.

oooohhh, do we have updates!! Apologies for the delay, but I was traveling and working off site to fund more projects!
Take a look at the beautiful garden cage that was built thanks to gofundme donations!! This is going to be our first run at food production here at the Sanctuary. Everything clean and organic. This year I took a deep dive into soil regeneration, so that we can successfully use what we have on site. At the moment, we're mulching tons of mesquite for the garden and compost piles. I've been collecting food scraps and getting multiple piles ready. I'm even burning my own bioChar!

If you look, you can see the picture with the red umbrella. This is a great shot of our Barn Raiser's group. Look closely at the background and compare it to one of the other pics from the same spot.. Once we get a roof and some walls on that bad boy, we might be able to get over the hump. When we can unpack and spread out, the fun can really begin.

The next few goals include finishing the tiny home and shared communal guest space, and most importantly dig the water catchment portion of the design. Once we get a few of the berms and swales dug out, we'll have new micro climates working in our favor. Once we can get a bit more hydration, we can start throwing out some cover crops.

Until then, we will keep supporting our local farmers, building community, and moving dirt. I look forward to sharing the next unfolding.
