And, so, gently, September slides into the year, bringing breaths of cool air, the first yellowing leaves, and welcome clarity as we review what we learned in the cauldron and emerge to once again commit to what we know to be true, choosing with trust, determination, and renewed purpose as we look at our lives, at the abundant possibility around us, and settle into the rhythm that nourishes us, th...

Let us be generous with ourselves. Let us rest well and wisely. Let us listen to the yearning in our souls. Let us leave space for wonder and space for delight. Let us create and nurture wide margins for magic in our lives. Let us trust the call we feel. Let it lead us to leap in the direction of desire. Welcome to this week’s Rituals of Returning newsletter! This issue is short as we are travelin...

Pause. Root yourself in where you are, your own landscape of living. Allow yourself to be, whole and here, held and heard. Keep a space for the sacred at the center of your own life. Hold it holy. Return often. Happy weekend! I hope you are making some space to steep in the deepness of this thick, heavy, hot summer season. To honor the abundance of this time of year, we have our new Summer Meadow...

In the heat of summer, I pause at the crossroads,lighting a candle in the sacred cauldron of my heart. I listen to the whispers of my soul,as dreams coalesce and possibilities take form. I stand in the center of my own life,where I extend my hands to touch the infinite fieldthat carries and holds me in each moment. I breathe in the ordinarygifts of life,the bright sky above me, the solid earth ben...

Sacred Earth beneath my feet, draw my scattered attention down and in. Let my senses be roots, sight, sound, scent, taste, touch, and the knowing beneath words, reaching deep into your living heart. Remind me that life is not a race, but a gentle returning to what always holds me. As I change, may I stay rooted. As I root, may I be free to change. Happy July and welcome to this week’s Rituals of R...

When we scramble too sharply out of steeping, we may stumble. It takes patience to refresh ourselves. Let us commit to moving at our own pace, to treating ourselves with love. Let our devotion forge a compassionate path forward, one that nourishes and restores, one that inspires and transforms. Happy Beltane and welcome to this week’s Rituals of Returning newsletter!

And so, March slides easily away between the trees, whispering of storm clouds, sudden frost, and sunshine on new bloomed wild plums. She leaves stars of chickweed in the grass and dandelions lifting bright and eager faces to the sky. She holds the door for April, who is nudging her way in, skirts wide and capable, dotted with dogwood blossoms and redbud flowers. There are lilacs in her hair and v...

Today, as life cascades all at once, may I remember that my body is holy ground. May I grant myself a sacred buffer, necessary white space, margins around the edges of doing, one pause, one breath, one honest enough. May I know that I can be grateful for all the good and overwhelmed by it at the same time, blessed by being in the middle of it all and still worthy of rest and renewal. Welcome to th...
