Retreat Series:

Homesteading the Heart

The birds are calling this morning.

The leaves are gold and red and falling,

The sky is blue, and the air is cold.

Do I need something esoteric and vague,

When the elements are so clear?

― Journal Reflection

 Elemental Awakening is a way to know ourselves more deeply. 

For the last several years, I have been playing with three unique threads of the universe:

Reverence for the natural world

Contemplative practices

Sacred in the mundane

As I enter my 41st year, I feel an insistent tug to weave these 3 threads together with more intention.

The world of wellness and self-care is so loud. There are so many practices that claim to deliver all the answers. The word ‘more’ drones on in a silent insidious hum.

And yet…

My deepest, most healing insights haven’t come from opening Akashic records or extensive silent retreats.

It has come from learning to get still and quiet.

From remembering to go outside and stay awhile.

In short, my spiritual growth has blossomed

as I’ve learned how to homestead my practice.

•••

How to weave it into the everydayness AND the sacredness of each and every moment.

•••

It is mud, fire and water. It is air. It is the way I connect with these elements.

•••

It feels ever more important to reclaim the lost ways of folk magic,

of connecting with the land, and each other, and the rhythms of the cosmos.

•••

And so, last year’s sold out six-month immersion, Elemental Awakening, is now

Family Resemblance:

Our blood is red because of the iron we inherited from the Earth.

Iron to bind the oxygen from trees and phytoplankton.

Our blood and breath are hand-me-downs.

The landscape is not scenery.

It’s family. Notice the resemblance.

~Jarod K. Anderson, Field Guide to the Haunted Forest
