"Every time I think I am healed, another wound whispers beneath my skin, another memory rises like smoke from the ashes of old versions of me, but maybe healing is not a destination, maybe it is the brave act of walking through your own ruins and still planting flowers."

“One day when you wake up,
you will find that you've become a forest. You've grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had.

You have become stronger and more beautiful, full of life giving qualities.
You have learned to take all the negativity around you, and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing.

A host of wild creatures live inside you, and you call them stories.
A variety of beautiful birds nest inside your mind, and you call them memories.

You have become an incredible self sustaining thing of epic proportions.
And you should be so proud of yourself, of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.”

I have been deeply called to enter stillness these next couple of weeks.

Integration is needed to honor the growth, healing, awareness, and wisdom this year has brought.

We often forget the integration part of healing that requires silence and depth. …Of deep communion with the Soul…. Much like sleep allows our brains to integrate the millions of signals we process daily, a contemplative time of rest is needed to anchor the medicine of what has transformed in our lives.

May you find pockets of stillness today and as this year draws to a close.

My art sister captures this mood perfectly.

“I’m being called to
enter the silence.

To dream and rest.
To create an opening
for possibilities and
potential still to come.

To tend the seed
that is even now
gestating in the dark.

Held in the cave of
both past and future,
I’m wrapped in the warmth
of myths and ancient ways.

Held by the ancestral mothers,
I enter the stillness of this time.”

“While we are looking for the antidote or the medicine to cure us, that is, the 'new', which can only be found by plunging deep into the Unknown, we have to go on exploring s*x, books, and travel, although we know that they lead us to the abyss, which, as it happens, is the only place where the antidote can be found.”

Roberto Bolaño

We can externalize our journey towards healing through material things… books, the right training, the right guru… but in the end… the internal guru is the only one who can guide you out of the illusion of suffering and confusion.

As we come to the end of 2025, the Solstice portal opens, and the planetary shift into the next 9 years positions itself, be really clear on what you want to release.

Who you were can not sustain who you want to be.

Don’t be afraid to let go.
That energy can be used to refine what you want to invite in.

How our early childhood wounds shape us has now become widely understood. But how we turn them into our medicine isn’t. This is why you don’t want to do this work alone. If you have a support system that helps you navigate healing, that is wonderful. If you don’t or you want more depth, then turn to therapists, shamans or healers.
We are here to help you through this.

Those of us that have walked through fire are intimate with the path. We can walk with you while you walk through your own fire of transformation.
