One of our biggest struggles is fear and self-doubt. When we sink into these places of loss, of frustration with ourselves and our place in the wheel of things, what is perpetuated? What is strengthened and grown and built?

Manifestation techniques and practices show us that what you put out is what you receive in return. What you are seeing is what you are creating.

Living in a fear state,…

More Practical Sustainable Tips

It has been a little bit since I posted about my top sustainable tips—and worked to make them not about more consumerism! I figured instead of big mindfulness and lifestyle tips I ought to talk more about how we travel, sustainably, low waste, and locally. What are the practical ways we make our life greener, cleaner, simpler and more holistic?

Here are some of our top tips and tricks……

We do not have a car. We haven’t had a car for a while, and I love it. My old home was a twenty minute bike ride from the bus and anywhere else I needed to go off the bus route I would borrow a friends car or wait till someone was headed that way and carpool with them. Joseph lived in a city, and while Los Angeles public transportation is hectic and stretched, he managed with that and an…

Moving Updates and Tips

There are several big shifts happening for me right now, I have talked about the intentional community we were living at in Los Angeles and if you have been following my story on Instagram, you know that Joseph and I have moved again. (If you want to follow us on Instagram our tag is @roots_of_the_mountains or you can click HERE). We also have just started to take more pictures professionally,…

Relationship Struggles; the Power of Community.

Sometimes my relationship feels like its digging itself into a pit.

Fortunately my partner and I are well aware of our work together, especially right now. My greatest gifts to him is bringing up his darkness so that he can work though it within himself. He does the same thing to me. Maybe this sound horrible, but how many relationships you have been in feel like your partner just brings up stuff…

Daily Practice; Exploring Values

Recently, we have been exploring values. This lead to us creating a daily practice I have really appreciated, and would love to share.

It came into our mind when Joseph’s friend was talking to him about his potential marriage. Joseph asked if he could read the contract, and was so struck by how formal and serious the agreement was. To see it spelled out was impressive and intimidating. If you…

Exploring My Darkness and Privilege

  There is an attitude of abundance that lives here.

With is the world is painted in gratitude.

Yet our situation shifted can lead to the other side of the coin.

The gifts can be turned scare although the amounts are the same.

Seeped in privilege, fear takes hold.

The abundance to know both sides of the coin.

The fear in seeing it all. 

We do not have a car. We haven’t had a car for a…

“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.” –Mary Oliver 

  We are practicing nonviolent communication. Which ironically in the beginning seems more violent than our usual communication. Doesn’t the transition always seem like a big upturned messy madness? Isn’t that happening in the world right now? We are feeling like revolutionaries, but are not even sure where we are…

I am now living in an intentional community.

The community is in Los Angeles, and my wonderful partner lived here for a year while I wrapped up my degree across the country. Moving in these past few weeks have been intense. From shifting to living with my partner, and eight other people, to moving to a city in time of great upheaval and unrest. The latter of which has been present in America…

“The Universe story is the quintessence of reality. We perceive the story. We put it in our language, the birds put it in theirs, and the trees put it in theirs. We can read the story of the Universe in the trees. Everything tells the story of the Universe. The winds tell the story, literally, not just imaginatively. The story has its imprint everywhere, and that is why it is so important to…

This is a short writing done after watching Dharamasoul preform live a few years ago:

He was slim and straight. On his head was a navy ball cap with GIRL POWER printed clearly across in blocky text. Both Jonah and the Drummer wore colorful collared button ups.

  When they started to play it was instantly alarming. They were angled towards each other. The boyish smile on the Drummer face shifted…

How I Work With The Man I Love

On Relationships, Shadow Work, and Holding Sacred Space.

How do we work with the people we are in relation with?

How do you work with your lover?

How do you work with your partner?

How do you divide and meld the mundane with the sacred?

I am in a relationship.

That is super weird for me to say. I have never been interested in a relationship. Being a one woman show was always my goal.…

A lot of places on the internet have lists of what you can do to be more sustainable, and  most of them relate to things you need to buy to be more environmental. This drives me crazy. I do think being a consumer with a sustainable mindset is important, a lot of green products use green-wash marketing that invokes excessive consumerism.

I also think marketing green sustainable products is an easy…

I study Spiritual Ecology. This is the connection of the spiritual world with the life cycle of the natural physical world. For me a big part is also connecting these patterns to human culture and lifestyles.

Ecology is all about looking at the whole picture of the natural world, it’s about the relationships and interactions between the biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) elements. So, within…

Hello!

The earth needs some love. I want to know and share how individuals and organizations are helping provide that. I’m reaching out to people of influence and people of light and people of expression to ask this question. I always want to hear more from people about how they connect their actions to protecting and caring for the Earth, and I want to share what everyone is doing to spread…
