Journey Into the Dark Night

Journey Into the Dark Night

Journey into the Dark Night happens at Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. We leave the world above to travel deep withing the Earth, entering into our darkest dreams.

A Shift in the Air

A Shift in the Air

A Shift in the Air came overnight. As the days get shorter, the owls come out sooner. Other creatures, like deer, ravens, and hawks float silently through the changing forest like ghosts, reappearing and just as quickly, disappearing! No wonder this feels like such a magical time. Plus, the sky turns pink for awhile, then…Continue Reading

Finding Your Personal Sanctuary is necessary for balance in a busy world. Our sanctuary is a quiet place to listen deeply to the whispers of knowing and inspiration that come our way.
