Keeping someone from going through the harder aspects of life, feeling pain and deep emotions doesn't help them. It actually hinders them.
Read MoreIf we look back one year ago and observe all the the work we've done, and actually take a moment to see how far we have come, we realize that even though the movement might feel slow when we are IN it, but we are actually making huge growth.
Read MoreWhat is right here? How am I enough in this moment? What does this body feel like? Do I feel good in this body? Do I feel connected to the land around me? What does the air smell like? Do I love myself? What does a leaf feel like?
Read MoreAcceptance is an interesting subject. It can liberate but it can hold us back. Where is the line between lovingly accepting ourselves ..opposed to gracefully being ok with not accepting ourselves, in order to make space for transformation and growth?

Read More"There's so much more to who you are than you know right now. You are, indeed, something mysterious and someone magnificent. You hold within you - secreted for safekeeping in your heart - a great gift for this world. Although you might sometimes feel like a cog in the a huge machine, that you don't really matter in the great scheme of things, the truth is that you are full eligible for a meaningful life, a mystical life, a life of the greatest fulfillment and service."

Read MoreI know sometimes when we hear the word sacred space it might intimidate us. But what it really is, is a space that is layered with meaning, depth, purpose and especially intention. I love looking around my home and seeing purpose is each and every adornment, and art piece. It's important for me to be inspired when I wake up. To look around and be reminded my truth, and of my priorities. When the space is energetically clear, grounded, and uncluttered around you, the mind begins to do the same. An actual clear mind is capable of so much; productivity, manifestation and seeing beyond veils of illusion.
Read MoreThe darkest time of the year can bring us down easily if we don't make extra efforts to connect with the natural world. I find making a priority, and discipline of getting outside mandatory or I get into a cycle of forgetfulness. Snowshoeing up a trail to find beautiful pine trees, collecting a few lovely ferns, and gathering some dead branches for art pieces are some of the most fulfilling ways to embrace winter. By taking the magic of Earth back into our homes via tea, art, or home decor allows us to live alongside the true wisdom and lessons of what that plant has to offer

How many of you have digestive problems? Even just a few times a week? We all do once in a while, and of course there are a million reasons why that could be happening, but I am saying that fasting helps. Allowing our bodies to release what they need to release, to empty themselves. To heal your body.
Read Morel love creating water ceremonies when I go collect spring water. It feels so natural to give thanks, set intentions and pray with and for the water. I find that as I connect with the water, I connect with myself.
Read MoreCertain plants bloom near the Summer Solstice, and some at the Fall Equinox. Picking plants on the full moon, and making medicine on the new moon. We live in cycles. Our world lives in cycles. I love connecting and tuning into the natural rhythms.
Read MoreCleansing in a ceremonial way releases negative energies, and thoughts to make room for higher vibrations to enter. I tend to smudge on the new moon, full moon, my own moon cycle, on special astrological days, and during the energetic Earth cycles like Equinox' and Solstices.
