Reflections on my journey with Mama Earth and Grandmother Moon
Ah, September. This month crept up on me ever so slowly, ever so quietly. I somehow rushed full tilt through July and August and suddenly it’s September. What does September mean to you? As a child, for me it meant the end of summer vacation and going back to school, getting a new school outfit… Continue reading September Soul Work prompt
My meditation practice has evolved over time as I learned (and continue to learn!) what works for me — the when, the where, and the how. And now I delve into meditating in liminal spaces.

Some use them as a prompt for free-writing, whilst others use them as tarot or oracle card layout. Some also use them as prompts for meditation or journeying. Each prompt has an… Continue reading Build a relationship with Land

It's a perfect time to celebrate the Goddess within and love of all kinds: love of our Self, our goddess, our family, our friends, our companion animals and, yes, love of our romantic partner. I’m sure we can each… Continue reading Love is in the Air

If you are not familiar with the book, I share below just one of the aspects — the Four Shamanic Questions — that I come… Continue reading Four Shamanic Questions and Healing Salves

There is something wonderful about dancing... moving... connecting to the music and the rhythm... that beautiful sense of letting go of our busy "monkey mind" and just expressing our Self from that wordless place of emotion in our heart and soul. So, just for today… Continue reading Let’s dance!
Guides and allies are revealed to us in different ways and in many forms. Amongst my allies are spirits, ancestors, stones, animals, plants and trees. One of my teachers connected to a mountain for guidance. I often find guidance in my relationship with trees, which some indigenous folks call the Standing People. I am fortunate… Continue reading MoonDay Musings: Tree Allies
