I am so excited to announce that I am going to be one of the teachers for Spectrum 2016! Not only that, but to celebrate this, I’m also giving away one spot in the workshop.

Spectrum is an online Holistic-Creative workshop going on its third year, and organised by Hali Karla of Hali Karla Arts. Spectrum 2016 will be guided by 20 NEW featured teachers and more than 20 returning contributors offering a variety of workshops, inspiration and invitations – all intended to empower, nurture and celebrate your innate creative expression, healing journey, and personal development!

There will be weekly inspiration & reflective activities related to mixed-media art-making and journaling, guidance on integrating your creative process and holistic awareness into your day-to-day life, and a variety of opportunities to connect, support and share with others in the growing Holistic-Creative online community.

The themes that will loosely guide our 2016 Spectrum experience are Forgiveness, Shifting Perspective, Navigating Uncertainty, Integration, Alchemy, Connecting with Nature, Honoring Body, Trusting Joy, and Expressing One’s Truth! You can expect a variety of perspectives on these – and so much more.

I am currently creating my brand new Spectrum workshop for you – it is called, Mother Tree: The art of seeing the forest and the trees.

What is my workshop about?

There are times in our lives when the questions we hold in our hearts are bigger than our human connections. There are times when we don’t have the words or even the emotions to explain or share what is happening in our hearts. It is at times like this that it is important to have a connection with a spirit that is deeper, richer, older and wiser than we are. While many of us are drawn to and feel a healing connection amongst the trees, there is much more to the woods than meets the eye. Forests are complex eco-systems, and – as it turns out – even more deeply connected than we ever imagined. This workshop is about enhancing your resilience and remembering your connection – all supported and held and witnessed by not just the forest – but a mother tree. We’ll be walking, writing and doing a lot of sitting, but mostly we’ll be remembering who we are.

Pre-registration for Spectrum 2016 officially opens on February 1, 2016 (and the program will begin on May 2). So be sure to bookmark this page (or link) – so that you can check back to see if you win the giveaway here or sign up just as soon as it goes on sale.

Over the Bones

June 19, 2012

“I am a writer. I am a seeker. I can find magic anywhere. I want to tell you stories and tell your stories. I love to celebrate everything in every way. I can see to the heart and the possibilities in anything. I am still afraid of my own bigness. I want to consciously decide how to live each day.  I have a profound belief in the sacredness of all things. I want to shine a light.” – meghan genge

It’s all there.

I have done the research. I have the books (nearly all of the books!) I have the paint and the glue and the glitter. I have the mala and the camera. I have the computer and the pen. I have the crystals and the sage and the websites. I have the DVDs and the pdfs. I have the words – especially the ones I wrote at the top of this post – and the support.

The bones are ready.

In Women Who Run With the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes writes:

“La Loba sings over the bones she has gathered. To sing means to use the soul-voice. It means to say on the breath the truth of one’s power and one’s need, to breathe soul over the thing that is ailing or in need of restoration…That is singing over the bones.”

I read those lines for the first time when I was about 23. I didn’t get it then, and I am not totally certain I get it now.  What I do finally understand is that I have been collecting bones ever since.

How I understand the story of La Loba today is that now I need to consciously choose to stop collecting and start singing. I need to “…say on the breath the truth of [my] power and [my] need.”  My daily practice has been collecting and searching, collecting and searching for as long as I can remember. Now it is time to sit still and breathe soul.

Sit still and breathe soul.

Yes.

Between one thing and another…

June 1, 2012

It’s always something. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

I know, it’s been too long.

It took a trip to Italy and a day in London for me to find my way back.

But I am here now and I have lots of things to tell you.

I’ll see you soon.
