Greetings Dear Family and Friends,
As we slip deeper into Fall towards Samhain, I’m regulating into a Gregorian calendar of squares and scribed hours and dates. I turn towards the reopening up of the Arbor and am steeped in the organizing from ‘what is’ to ‘what maybe come’.
This Summer I traveled to the top of the world in the Orkneys where time and space are marked by stars, stone, light and shadow. The air is strong and clear with a sweet smell that the lungs welcome into their very tissues; a deep remembering and clarity. A clarity reminiscent for me of the Peruvian Andes. There still are places on the earth that are sparsely populated, with open skies and a sense of eternal time. A place where the large cycles of life talk to the heather and the seas of this island and where the ancient ones still roam, content in the light and with a strong living presence.
While waking from the dreamtime, I awoke with this phrase “the understanding goes with you if not the technology” and to me, this feels so true as the unexplained remains in full sight. The stone villages, circles, and cairns are over five thousand years old and exhibit a finesse of atonement beyond the years of our time. I also felt a different relationship with the land and sea that spoke of endings and beginnings and a deep belonging with an organic unfolding and connected wisdom beyond our “ken”.
One day I wish to return and to write in this hallowed space and time; until then the Gregorian calendar calls.
This year I start the third year into the Arbor Legacy which continues to morph and change, in a moving evolutionary dance that feels healthy and in good order. It is a living program responding to what is arising alongside. It continues to attract fine intentional beings to work with me, and in this way, I feel very blessed to have and share a legacy of understanding.
January 2024, Egypt beckons again with room for one more person to join our small contingency of nine people in January.
I am returning to the Glastonbury area after Egypt to continue constellation work with community there.
Thank you to the UK. I felt deeply welcomed and the work appears to be setting down some tentative roots into the Somerset lands with a potential training in the later part of 2024. At present, I will be offering three days of Constellations at the end of January. Along with one on one intuitive readings.
At home I am now offering one on one appointments via Zoom, or in person in Seattle. I will also offer 2024 Tarot readings in the later part of December through January 4. You will find open appointments on my schedule on my web site. I took a pause last year with one on ones and mentoring and now I am returning to this part of my work.
Acknowledgements
First to the Duwamish and the Snohomish tribes whose ways inform me from the earth beneath my feet here in Seattle and may their journey for recognized sovereignty find its way.
I would like to acknowledge and thank Anne Murphy, Akhila Kolesar, Stevie Greenwell, Juliette Findlay, John Wineland, Katina Mercadante, and Leslie Conner who have brought me into their communities during the year, to further the work and their own.
Also thank you to the Seattle community who has supported me through the last twenty years and more with a continued dedication and love of the legacy that belongs to us all.
Blessings to you all,
Sarah
