Welcome Back To Yourself!

The Inspiration

I’m back, it has been forever since I have reached out. I have missed you and want to share what is up, this new inspiration and accumulation of truth that has guided me into myself, with a lot of powerful guidance and help:) Whooow, what a time! I am accelerating, crystalizing, and co-creating like crazy. In this newness of time, ways of being and more truth are revealing themselves and I can’t hold back any longer.

This new emergent self was really activated several months ago when I learned what it means to not “Diminish Myself”. This glorious sensation came during the “Dance of the Magda” facilitated by Lady Graell at the GFest in Shasta, CA. This was the kind of transformational experience I felt on a cellular level. Lady Graell created a container that connected me to my soul memory. It was an experience that revitalized my being and strengthened my core. So much so, that I want to share it in my community.

When we began to share our stories I learned about her youth in NY, her adventures traveling the World as a Priestess, and how she started her College. The more we talked, the more our laughter came tumbling out like a new spring flowing with joy. Her presence filled me instantly with truth and love, overflowing with inspiration and gratitude for the wisdom she lives. Soon, I learned that she and her husband love Mendocino and we started to plan. So here we are combining our visions and co-creating an event for November.

New Offerings

I have two inspirations to share with you today, both are potent and full of sweet honey goodness.

1. *Oracle Drum Song

The Oracle Drum Song is a wonderful adventure into the bio-spiritual ecology of your soul. It is an intuitive journey tool to open the door to your sacred realm to discern the needed wisdom of this unique moment and time. Calling upon the Art of Pollination we will seek the mystic nectar of our inner life and sing into the blossom in our being.

The Oracle session will include:

   •   Guided breath and grounding practice to set the intention for the reading

   •   Meditative rhythm journey with the frame drum

   •   Intuitive song to access your multidimensional self and recall what is most needed at this time.

   •   Digital Recording of the session

*I will offer a free session for the first 3 lucky ones who sign up:)

2. Dance the Earth Temples Alive

The second offering is a co-creation with Lady Graell and myself. Creating sacred space together to help woman dance their Living Earth Temples Alive with the combination of the Intuitive Drum Song and the Dance of the Magda.

This is the beginning of a series that activates the drum, song, and dance of the divine feminine arts. The session will begin with creating a sacred sound space through Frame Drum Rhythms and Tones of Intuitive Drum Song Meditation. This guided meditation in sound health will infuse you with vibration, and frequencies sourced to calm, alleviate tension, heighten your awareness, and aid in achieving the Alpha state of consciousness. From honored teachers linked to ancestral knowledge, I will traverse the lineage of Celtic, Mediterranean, and Nordic heritages, as a drum and song holder for over two decades. I am honored to co-create this space with Lady Graell as she guides us in the Dance of the Magda.

Dance of the Madga

Navigated by your temple Womb, this empowering and raw somatic practice of sacred movement taps you into the expressions of your yoni’s voice.

We will share a deep group transmission, and the witnessing will activate our ancient memories of the Red Tent Sisterhood and the Lineage of the Magda.

Priestess Graell
Lady Graell

The space we create together will help you tend your inner garden and shake awake your being through the amplified connection and entrainment of this vibrant circle full of Earth tenders and Daughters of the Divine. I so look forward to the opportunity to share this with you.

In Love and Honey,

Red Thread Gathering

I have just returned from an amazing gathering full of inspiration, heart and deep soul!

This is for all of you who brought your drum into being!

Ask breathe in… ask listen… list in
Coil weave, over under through, over under through
To reach the drop down, the sync up, the link up, contact – connect – received!
Contact – connect – received
Through miracles of wonder
Through pretty in all color
Through words infused, anointed, blessed
In belonging fearlessly to the self, received by yourself, received – contact! Charged
Amp up – drop-down
Get up get down, get up get down
Lone wolves receive the moon call
The Raven wing black to white, the fire dance to ocean song, the portal, the bloom
The peace of Gaia’s spiral womb
Alchemical love witnessed, circle defined
Sway, sway, sway
Arms raised, embrace we are held
Your piece spun, wove and linked to my piece
circle upon circle – prayer wings – directions four
Get up get down – to the center, to the sky – to the ancient mothers song
the portal is now open
Dance in!

How, if the tender new seeds do wither?

It is like this, as told by waters edge, sharp like, spear- face make way through the grandfather rocks, release the ancient minerals, the prayers poised on singing lips, in the sparkle dance of ancient root, reduced to Spark, reduced to lung cleanser.  Full of prayers,  and prayers, and more prayers, that these obstacles are not to be avoided, they are the path! This obstacle,  this path.  This obstacle and this path.

Beware for the cup, this vessel of you,  must be overflowing, lest you  make thieves of those around you, who would take what is not theirs to take.

 

So allow,  bring to the surface,  all that is bubbling, this, your source, IS bubbling up.  Give it voice, lend it to your psyches path, as that is why you are here. That is why you are here?

 

Gently guided nightly, in subterranean dreams. Bring into the light these songs, these dances, your poetry like moss upon your branch, bring to light the sleeping babes of knowing, the sleeping babes of wisdom. That which works with and dreams you, that which gets the job done, the song sung, the poem penned, the painting painted. Express! Get it now, do not bury the dreams, do not bury the dreams in their bridal gowns. Notice if the tender seeds should wither? How, if the tender new seeds do wither?

Do not delay, the fires are coming, the earth is shaking, the flood waters are rising, mud sliding, souls dying in this miracle of life, souls deadening in this miracle of life. Do not delay dear beauties. Do not delay, golden discoveries await! For the web is woven, the frequency is here, available, accessible, highly attainable, to sing your song. Do Sing your Song.  Sing for the love of God, for the love of Pete, and a little old woman, sing for the weeping babe tugging at your strings, sing for health’s sake, that you do not lose your way.  Ring the bell and let us know you are here with us, of us, divinely in us.

Humbly sing of the infinite in your cave of knowing.  Boldly sing on the precipice of your discovery.  Let your song soar in the oxygen rich brilliance of sky surface.  Then dive, and dive again, to your depths. We are here waiting for you, For you, for we want to hear your report.  We want to hear your saga retold of this journeys flight.  This perception unique to you, to only you, please, do sing.
