8/8 ~ Lions Gate is a potent portal to the heart. Forgiveness, gratitude and permission to feel all the feels, will magnify the alignment of your heart with all that you seek, summoning all your blessings. For me personally, I’ve been feeling it. With my son heading off to college this week and my body going through seasonal changes, I am crossing a threshold where there is no way but through.…

I hope the energy of the New Moon finds you well even amidst the chaos of these volatile and revelatory times. If there is anything these past few years have been teaching us, is the fundamental truth of impermanence. If your sense of safety, worth or security has laid anywhere outside of you, then surely you have felt the sting. The evolution of our awakening has never been about ridding…

Witch Please! Why Coming Out of the Broom Closet is so Hard

Witch Please! October by far is the witchiest time of the year for me. It’s funny how it’s OK to dress up like a witch for Halloween but to actually own your true witchiness can be far scarier. What is a witch anyway? My personal definition is, someone who has a strong relationship with the forces of nature and uses those relationships to enhance their lives. A shaman is the same, but from…

Nature’s Lessons in ABUNDANCE

Today, I started thinking about Nature, Abundance and the INITIATION course that we have starting in October and this whole string of words came through unexpectedly.. my voice, but not necessarily my words: Nature’s Lessons in ABUNDANCE: Abundance is natural and not something to strive after. As a force of nature yourself, you are ALREADY aligned with abundance. All it takes is for you to see…

In the Andean native tradition, the 4 elements have Sacred Words: ___ Earth: To Want Water: To Be Silent Air: To Know Fire: To Dare ___ I learned them from a Peruvian Shaman and Wise Woman several years ago on retreat. To embody the sacred elements is life long and always deepening. To know them is also to be both wildly free and deeply nurtured. The Elements, are largely where my…

Medusa- Goddess of Sacred Rage How owning your rage can be sacred medicine for reclaiming your sovereignty.

Medusa is mythical, compared to the feminine ascended masters we’ve explored so far, however no one embodies Sacred Rage like she does and is the most misunderstood of the goddesses, just as rage is one of the most misunderstood of our emotions. When Medusa came into my life with her potent medicine, it wasn’t in the way that she is normally perceived as an evil monster. She had snakes in her…

Isis- Mother Goddess: Clearing the pathway to our sovereign divinity

“Isis– Mother Goddess, Queen of the Golden Light, Mistress of Magick and Earth, Priestess of the Sirius Star Lineage I am you and you are me. Give me your sight, your wisdom, Your power and your wings to fly, Dance with me now and show me what I need to know.” I had the pleasure of being immersed in the life altering alchemy of the mother goddess herself, Isis also known as “She of a Thousand…

Intuition vs. Trauma Response (how to tell the difference)

Hello my magickal friends! If you have ever questioned your intuition, then you may want to read up. Have you ever held yourself back, from taking impactful action, because you convinced yourself that your fear or trauma response, had your best interest at heart… and you called that your intuition? I know that I have. Most of us, at some point, have confused a trauma response with a true…

Heart ❤️ Talk this week in class: If we want to propel ourselves out of our misery, we probably need to quit make decisions from our misery.

Practice this week: Find that place within you where PEACE exists (don’t worry it’s there, probably around your heart or belly) and be quiet & listen.. it will often advise you to do opposite of what you have been doing.

Quote of the week:Misery IS because…

The seeds are usually good and full of potential but what often determines their growth is the landscape that contains them, especially during the incubation period. Are you poisoning the fields with toxins of self doubt, lack of self worth and…

Blessed by Saint Francis. Today is his feast day.

I am amused but not surprised that today, October 4th, is the day we celebrate the work and ministry of Saint Francis. It’s so divine and synchronistic considering that I’ve been feeling imbibed by his spirit since my return from Italy and Assisi a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t even know it was the day of his feast until I happened to come across the notice in someone else’s feed. When I did, I…

Every Day is Earth Day

Earth Day was last week and I had the privilege of spending the day with my yoga teacher training students, talking about how our bodies are of this earth, made for this earth and holds all of the qualities of the earth. We talked about the importance of cultivating a meaningful relationship with Her because in doing so, we care more deeply  just as we tend to care more about those we have…

Peace, hugs and blessings!!!

Resolve to Evolve || Happy New Year!!

When I visited my grandmother this past summer in Peru, who by the way is 96 years young, I was struck with how well she took care of herself. No one had to remind her to take her medicine, eat her vegetables or to avoid unhealthy habits. She never had  excuses and she said something that drove it home for me- “If I don’t take care of myself, then who will.” Sure, other people encouraged and…
