Dear ones - I write to you today from a friend’s house outside of Boulder, CO - where, after over two months in the desert, I find myself in awe and wonder at the variety of green, green grasses. It reminds me how quickly we can attune and adapt ourselves to an environment and how small shifts at the level of environment can profoundly affect our subtle and physical body - and all the other aspects of our experience which are woven into those. Today is the full moon and so… we have another...

Dear ones - I hope you had a beautiful Beltane (for those in the Northern Hemisphere - Samhain for those in the Southern) - a time when the veil is thin between this world and the other and life is either at the height of bursting forth or at the beginning of its deepest diminishment. There are times when it feels so grounding to tune into the cycles of the year - nature’s rhythms. And times when the beauty of the continual flow of life feels so dissonant with the happenings of our human...

Dear ones - Happy Full Moon in Scorpio - a time for leaning into the death of things which are ready to release to make way for new life and aliveness. I write to you today from the mountains outside of Santa Fe where the warm sun balances the cold wind as it sighs through the cedars; and the full moon is bright enough to cast shadows while the coyotes yip and howl all night long. There are blooms. And on the highest peaks, there’s also still snow. Today’s podcast episode is a continuation of...

Dear ones - Endings are not as final as linearity would have us believe (although what we are mourning or celebrating the ending of - specific situations, relationships, individuals, etc - may never come back into our lives). Remembering the innate cycles and circularity to life returns us to the wisdom that endings are thresholds. And thresholds come with grief, discomfort, relief, excitement, fear, pain, and pretty much everything else a human can be capable of feeling. We often arrive at a...

Dear ones - Friendly reminder that 5pm ET TODAY (Tues Mar 26th) is your last chance to join this cohort of Sanctuary and the beautiful group of humans who are coming together. I’m really looking forward to our gathering tonight as I feel the potency of what’s happening in the world (human-made and natural) and in the dance of celestial bodies/ ancestors. A time for deep reflection and rooted sourcing. A time to pause and let the ripples of endings and beginnings move through our whole system...

Hello, dear ones - I often find myself curious: Can we be human and not believe in sacredness? What does ‘sacred’ even mean? The energy of these times in this moment of full moon, Spring equinox, and lunar eclipse feels deeply challenging, beautiful, and initiatory. And I had a message come through as I meditated one night about what sacredness actually is: “Sacredness is not what we do, or even what we feel - it’s a quality of presence and listening which allows for some magic, some alchemy...

Happy Equinox, dear Wolf Pack! Just a super quick note to let you know I’ve got a bonus podcast episode for you about this moment of balance between the darkness and the light. Tune in and you’ll hear: how the season cycles correspond to our breath; the metaphor of planting seeds for new growth; why tender, fluffy new things may not always be an appropriate metaphor for the process of birth and rebirth; the potent portal that is equinox combined with astrological new year and the beginning of...

Dear wolf pack - “We all need sanctuary. If you don’t make time for sanctuary intentionally, you’ll make sanctuary unintentionally.” In a conversation with a client today, we were talking about feeling so tired, overly sensitive, and stretched thin that we pull away from our commitments, our family members, our partners. We become “unreliable” and from there it’s a quick step to self-judgement and working harder, pushing harder, overriding more… or complete shut down. The truth is, we need...

Dear wolf pack - Happy New Moon in Pisces - a time of completion and beginnings, of coming back to community and our collective dreams and nervous systems. I initially took a break from having guests on the podcast while I was traveling because the logistics of scheduling and recording were proving difficult when I didn’t know where I’d be staying and whether there’d be enough privacy. Then, when I started posting solo episodes, I was surprised to hear from so many of you that you were really...
