In the Footsteps of the Kalapuya She stood up abruptly, throwing down the newspaper - mass shootings, climate changes, animals endangered, and even a major source of oxygen going up in smoke in the flaming Amazon! Sara found it difficult to breath, feeling weary reading such news. She glanced at her art easel across the room that beckoned her with a blank white canvas. It mirrored back her difficulty in manifesting fresh ideas, and chastised her for lacking the motivation to even paint at all! Pushing past that persistent reminder, Sara marched to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to find a diversion from this irritating reminder. But instead of a culinary escape, she was reminded of her procrastination to shop for groceries this week. Turning quickly while slamming the refrigerator door, she tripped over her hiking boots, mud-crusted from last week’s hike and begging for attention. Peering out the window she noticed an ominou...
The Tools of Transformation: Eyes, Heart & Brushes! As I was attempting unsuccessfully to calm my distressed inner child who was sobbing about the world’s latest disaster, my vibrant muse swept in. With her flaming red hair commanding attention and a look of delight emanating from her huge blue eyes, it was undoubtedly impossible to ignore her presence. Even my inner child stopped crying and looked up with expectation at my muse who was wearing a white radiant moonflower in her raven red hair.

As with all new growth, this seed of consciousness begins its germination in the midst of darkness.... just as everything seems to be at its very blackest. After many years in a void - so ominous that when any glimmer of light appeared, it was quickly sucked up in a whirling b...
The Great Awakening "The Great Awakening" © 2020 On the darkest of nights with only a hint of light from the crescent moon, Earth Mother began to feel her labor pains, signaling the time of great change. With each new contraction, the birth portal, filled with ancient symbols, opened further splitting the cosmos and causing all beings everywhere to cease their activity in suspense of what was to come. Some people predicted doom and the end of everything. Others, panicked by their belief in scarcity, were ruled by their greed as they desperately grabbed more than their share of goodness. Still others, sadly feeling dire hopelessness, chose to just lay down and die. But there was also a group of people who rejected that fear and instead chose to believe in the benevolence of creation. They made a choice to find the knowledge, lost ...
House of the Heart “Under the Light of the Full Flower Moon”© 2020 Under the Light of the Full Flower Moon As the big orange sun sets below the horizon, and the Flower Moon rises high in the sky, the ceremonial fire is lit. The drumming begins, breaking the evening silence, and you are called to a special place to be among women. You and all women are summoned to the sacred Tent of Red Thread, where you can sense the presence of an ancient energy as you walk slowly up the pathway leading to the entrance. A winged woman greets you by name as you enter the red tent, and you walk around a circle of stones to find your place among this family of women. When you look into the eyes of each woman in the circle, a remembrance within you begins to awaken...
