it's been a challenging month~ and in it's wake i've been tumbled around and left rather out of sorts. at the tail-end of it i was lucky enough to spend a day in the company of some loving, inspiring and wise women during a live SouLodge with the amazing Pixie Campbell at Teahouse Studio. Medicine for the soul indeed.
~visited by otter: woman medicine~
a gentle reminder to welcome play & stop worrying
~surrounded by love: Roslyn & Maya~
the next day i had offered to take sweet Ma in search of some Elk Medicine. Maya has been so generous, supportive and inspiring since I met her in the woods of New Hampshire at Squam~ I wanted to give her back some magic. In true generous Maya style she turned it into an early birthday celebration for me and invited a bunch of other lovely beings to share the magic with. I love that about her. we spent a magical day out at pt reyes national seashore.
~zipping past fields of magical hues~
~hardcore hiking ensued: barefoot~
~connecting with kindred spirits: Stacy~
~laying the foundation for a sweet community of sisters~
~a community where we support one another~
~where our strength lies as much in our similarities~
~as it does in our uniqueness~
~we allow ourselves to play & laugh~
~and help one another see there is always a way out~
~and welcomed a heavenly show~
a truly blissful weekend that reminded me of the healing powers of nature, friends and ritual.
