Just me in this first episode as we kick off a season of creativity.  Want to be among the first to know...

Getting curious and asking ourselves questions is a great way to break out of a funk, ground new ideas, open our heart to where we feel stuck or challenged, and it is a great way to create space to truly listen within. Join me for a bit of conversation about how to start getting curious with yourself. *** Join Lori for the upcoming 5-day Activated Soul Journey. Begins March 5th. REGISTER HERE: htt...

Iolite, the February crystal of the month, shared an invitation to connect with our intuition, to see in the dark, to see with all of our senses. *** Join Lori for the upcoming 5-day Activated Soul Journey.

Jewelry is obviously one of my favorite ways to work with crystals and stones. It is something I stumbled upon shortly after being attuned to Reiki in 2004 (goodness that feels like a long time ago). I created a simple rose quartz necklace and wore it constantly. People at work began asking about it. Intrigued, they asked me to create pieces for them. This opened an unexpected and delightful pathw...

Happy New Year! Happy Full Moon! Today we mark the first full moon of 2023. It's a BIG one! This is a great time to release what is complete from last year (or maybe even other times in life). You can do this with both the energetic and the physical stuff. Letting stuff go creates space . . . to breathe, to welcome new people, opportunities, and experiences, and to simply BE. Not sure where to sta...

Since doing the 2023 Annual Crystal Forecast Reading just before the holidays, I have been listening closely to the messages and insights each crystal has to share. It is interesting to feel the energy of the earth rise up and be expressed through each of these allies. Citrine is the 2023 Crystal of the Year. Its luminous hues have been getting my attention through both imagery and messages. This...

As 2022 winds down, I find myself sinking deeper into reflection. Looking back over the events of this past year . . . recognizing what has been amazing, what has been challenging, and how I have grown through these experiences. Along the way I found myself called into a couple of simple rituals. I share them in this week's episode of the Meet Me in Sacred Space Podcast. Listen in. Join me for the...

My studio has been buzzing with creative energy for the past couple weeks. I have been busy creating new pieces of jewelry and filming videos for the Foundations of Ceremony class. It has been so much fun! And my house is a delightful creative mess. Haha. There once was a time when this messy part of the creative process really bugged me. But over the years, as I have come to understand creative c...

Ceremony is the soulful and sacred medicine we need in the world right now. Years ago, when I started consistently working with ceremony, true change and healing began to unfold in my life. As I shared it with family, friends, loved ones, and eventually clients and students, I noticed similar experiences for them as well. Ceremony opens the doorway of connection between the physical and spiritual...

Over the past week I've had some pretty dynamic conversations with friends, colleagues, and clients about inspiring and new possibilities . . . things that would not have been previously considered, yet something feels so right and so aligned that saying yes is the natural and right answer. I think this is a theme many of us are experiencing. Doors of new possibility are opening fast right now. Wi...

Fall arrives this week. Thursday, the 22nd marks the Fall Equinox. This day ushers us across a threshold into the dark half of the year. It's a wonderful day to sink into ceremony and attune to our voice of inner wisdom. The natural momentum of the season invites us to consider what in our life is ready to be harvested, complete, and surrendered while also creating space for the ideas and dreams w...

3 core messages from Garnet. Here's what you can expect: - 'tis the season for strengthening your roots. - how to give your dreams and desires space to root. - letting yourself get curious about whether or not you planted what you truly want to harvest. - info about a couple upcoming opportunities that I would LOVE for you to join me for. Join us for the Fall Equinox Ceremony. https://loriaandrus....

Throughout the summer, little bits of copper showed up on the road and driveway. Each time I would reach down to pick the found piece up, I would hear the message: Amplify your light. I found this interesting because I was struggling with a boundary issue. I wanted a solution for that. It took me a bit to realize that actually was the solution I was in search of. Boundaries and protection have man...

I'm always in awe of how aligned each month's crystals are. They show up in a reading at the beginning of the year, revealing just a hint of what is to come. Then, as year progresses, deeper insight and clarity emerges. Their timing, perfect. Their messages, aligned. In today's episode of the Meet Me in Sacred Space Podcast I explore 'In the NOW' wisdom and messages from the August crystals of the...

For months I've been dreaming about and drawing gateways. Gateways that open space for possibility. Gateways that create space for deeper connection. Gateways that attune us to our voice of inner wisdom. Yesterday, as I attuned to the energy of today's 8-8 Lions Gate Portal another gateway image emerged. I spent time with it, drawing it, attuning to it, inviting forward messages and insights. Here...

This summer marks a significant milestone for both Chris and I. 10 years ago we went on a camping trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It's a beautiful spot on the Lake Superior shoreline . . . and a spot that activated a new pathway in our lives. At the time it was an amazing trip, it felt like something magical happened, but I'm pretty sure neither of us would have anticipated the ways tha...

"How good are you willing to feel?" This is not always an easy question to answer . . . especially during times when life feels quite the opposite of good. In a recent interview with Dr. Vanessa Sage, she shared that this is one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves at this time. As we sank into this soulful conversation I felt this question (that I've previously heard and said many...

This past week was busy. Very busy. I found myself immersed in both expected and unexpected projects while trying to gracefully navigate the mixed emotions that popped up along the way. That was not always easy. One of the unexpected bits that happened last week was that we had to have a tree taken down. Letting it go was emotional for me. As I leaned into the emotions, I found myself called to jo...
