Regardless of how something is broken, forgotten, or separated, the process of healing is almost always a slow and intentional one. Stitch by stitch, we mend something back together. Breath by breath, we remember to come back into relationship with a part of us we’ve discarded. And through this process of repair, what has been broken or separated weaves itself back to wholeness again. Remembers its true form.

Do you know the story of Chiron? The wounded healer? Chiron, a master of the healing arts, was accidentally struck by one of Hercules’s venomous arrows, causing him incurable, excruciating pain. As he was immortal, he was subject to live with his pain in perpetuity. Yet, as a healer himself, Chiron’s wound allowed him to cultivate empathy and understanding for those he served. His pain allowed him to develop strength of character, and offer compassion to those he would help

Are you healed enough yet? Healing holds many paradoxes, and I believe the healing path invites us to hold these paradoxes as part of the healing. So what I want to explore over the next few weeks here are the nuances of healing, the beauty of healing, and what gets in the way of our actual healing.

One of the core tenets to my work is that our own healing, and our own somatic experience can never be extracted from the living Earth body. For when we try to “heal” as individuals, or when we try to balance our nervous systems while leaving out the integral piece of inter-relationality, we are always missing the mark. So many of us are seeking healing. Seeking clarity. Seeking purpose. We long to feel whole, to know who we are, and to remember what we’re here to offer.

We are in a time of great awakening out of the illusion of separation, into the remembrance that a different way is possible. And in the meantime, it’s heartbreaking to witness seemingly endless atrocities to our beloved human family and our earth kin as well. It’s a strange time to be living in. Filled with hope and beauty and grief and rage and shock and joy and love.

Nobody can tell you what is right for you. No matter how captivating someone is, no matter how electric or vibrant they are, it’s so important to learn to trust in your own discernment and wisdom from within. I believe this is what we’re collectively remembering as we step out of the delusion of patriarchal religious programming.

As a highly sensitive empath, I always felt like the modern world was harsh, unkind, and disconnected from the true nature of reality. It stripped life of the very real magic I knew to be true in the deepest part of my body.​Growing up, never felt like I fit in.​I contorted myself to fit into the false narratives and expectations that this world puts on us. I felt like an outsider, always hiding my deeper mystical self who I felt glimmers of, but who was covered up in layers

Have you ever felt a plant or a tree talking to you? Or felt like there were unseen beings watching you? Or felt like you needed to move a rock because it wanted to be somewhere else? And then, immediately doubted yourself for being crazy? I watch this happen all the time in others. Folks doubting their experiences, thinking they're crazy, thinking they’re making up their profound and magical relationship with Earth. Even if we “know” it’s alive, insidious voices of societal

A couple of weeks ago while a guiding some folks in my private membership space, I had the experience of receiving the light of the summer sun into my water body, feeling it dancing across the surface like late afternoon dappled light. ​I could feel in an instant the way I am water, illuminated by light. How the elements of nature dance together inside of me, forming me, and informing me. How I receive intelligence, wisdom, energy, from the Sun. And it codes itself into my re

Multiple things can be true at once, even seemingly opposing things. And this email is an invitation into living paradox as a spiritual and relational practice. When we intentionally engage with living paradoxes, we stretch our capacity for nuance and mystery. We become more comfortable with the texture of life, the subtle layers beneath the surface. We become more integrated and less polarized within ourselves, and therefore create more unification in the collective consciou
