I have been feeling overwhelmed — on a personal and family level, and with society at large. A lot is happening at the same time as we transition our consciousness to keep up with the evolutionary forces that govern our reality. It has been hard for me to know what is real and what is… Read More
I have been tending my garden this season as it incandescently displays its spring to summer transitional dance of relationships — sun, soil, wind, insects, birds, plants and seeds all in sacred interplay at the various stages of their lifecycles. Meanwhile I am the observant and reverent witch who caretakes this parcel of Earth with… Read More
My wizard husband and I are fortunate to still be working during this surreal time. However the mood in our office is off of course as people struggle with the “new (NOT!) normal.” There is something very anti-human about distancing ourselves from each other, and wearing masks everywhere and washing our hands endlessly.

The summer season brings a first harvest. Even as we experience another heat wave here in Northern California, the first fruits from our garden have ripened and I have with much delight harvested some of them. Summer harvest is a sacred time of reaping what we have sown during the winter and spring seasons. During these earlier… Read More
The art of spiritual communion is the masterful art of making of relationship with the world around us. We enjoy relationships with others in our family and community, and with our beloved pets and plants everyday, but what about those entities who are not embodied but with whom we share a planet? The Faery are… Read More
I have been working with dream yoga for many years. This is an ancient practice in which one seeks to activate lucid dream states for the purposes of exploring ourselves as more than what we are told we are in this perceptually limited consensus reality. I want to post some of my experiences with my… Read More
