Dear friends and family,
I feel myself to be deep in summertime. A place of stretching out like a cat across the landscape, rolling in the ease of warm evenings and blue skies. I am, at this time, emerging gracefully out of back surgery and gently unfolding back into my life. Being in the quiet of the new moon, I now know I am stepping out along the shoreline to meet Grandmother Turtle and to dance my gratitude out into the world and into our Mother, as the Moon waxes into full strength.
Being in the still of recovery, my mind wandered about, contemplating the this and the that, affording me open space and integration. My recovery came like I was digesting a big left over meal. I was afforded an expansion of time to look, listen, and hold… that can be so rare in our fast paced world. I arrive now, back up on my feet, lighter and enthused and eager to share a new sense I have, of you and me.
Next year I am celebrating 70 years of life, and after sharing 20 years of the basic teaching of the Sacred Directions, I am going to offer three seasonal retreats in the Seattle area for those who would like to deepen what they have walked with after completing the Sacred Directions in previous years. There is a yearning in me to dialogue with my internal changes and bring them forward into a sharing that is current and very much alive in me. So not so much about teaching that which has come before in my work, but more about taking the material into the very now of myself. I see including simple ceremonies for healing the ancestral lines as my dawning awareness continues to explore and expand. I am curious as a spontaneous community, how it is that can we grow our capacity for inclusion and belonging. I see constellations and triads moving the conversation forward alongside dream circles, journeying, and art. I am excited to listen more and to contributing to building conscious community and “we” space together. Let us deepen our relationship to the elements and the natural world through practices and the sharing of. This is an invitation to be in each other’s company while we walk the edge of our understanding and start stepping through the veils of our perception. The first autumnal retreat will be October 13-14, 2018.
With love,
Sarah
