Join me as I travel into the painted caves of southern France to meet our Deep Ancestors, and explore what their art, consciousness, and reverence for the unse...

Threshold moments mark a distinct “before and after” in our lives. They are potent, exciting, enlivening—and sometimes profoundly uncomfortable.

Drawing from my own experiences of this liminal territory, this episode is here to companion...

There’s a spring rising up within all of us this November, and its waters are here as both a restful waypoint, and a transformative force, in our journeys. This month, I pulled from a deck that one of my dearest friends helped to create—the beautiful SOOTH divination cards—and what came forward for us was *pure poetry.* So settle in, get yourself a big cup of water, and find out what blessings are...

One year ago, Hurricane Helene brought a thousand-year flood that changed everything here in the mountains of Western North Carolina—entire towns destroyed, highways gone, hospitals, homes, and my own apothecary lost to the waters.

The *deepest*  twinkle doesn’t come from never having experienced hardship or loss—it lives most strongly in the eyes of those who have seen all the light go out, and then held on long enough to welcome it back. To have a twinkle is to be in on the ultimate secret: that life itself is a process of losing and regaining one’s light (and that it’s possible to be amused by this wild ride!). If yo...
