March Greetings!
Wow, last month was quite a journey! I'm just resurfacing from my dance with pneumonia. It was a humbling experience, leaving me with deep gratitude for my body and my lungs. I hope that good health is finding you and your loved ones in this intense season!
While I was sick, I had a lot of time to reflect. I sat with the energy of the radical times we are in, noticing the many shadows of past horrors in our collective history that are showing their faces again and the impact the modern information onslaught has on our nervous systems. The combination of emotional intensity and information overload is so much to be a part of and leaves me landing on many different extremes along the feelings spectrum. I'm so grateful for the several things that didn't leave me last month as I processed and healed - the presence of my compassionate guides, friends, family, and my creativity. Although my energy levels didn't allow for me to journey, create, or talk much, I remained aware of these loving companions and voices, who never left my side. They led me to write down two questions to harmonize with-
What will bring the highest sense of care here?
How can I be of service?
These questions supported me to ground into the current moment, tune into my body, and then consciously choose how I wanted to experience the world. They offered my nervous system a little space to relax and separate myself from a place of fight or flight. From the detached space that these questions granted me, I decided to finally hang a new collection of art I have been working on called, Women Rising (check it out in the Words from Wool section below). I also spent time with Raven listening to the winds of change from their perch. They guided me to shift my shamanic offerings to a mix of free, donation-based, and sliding scale pricing. Times are turbulent and what we might have been able to afford or feel comfortable investing in before is no longer an option. You can learn more about my offerings below. I hope this new structure is supportive in keeping the healing arts accessible. I would be honored to work with you and be in community with you this year!
What have been your guiding questions and beacons of light in these times? I'd love to hear from you! Drop me an email!
Much love to you and your spirit,
Sara
