Equinox Download: From Balance To Wholeness

2023-03-27T23:24:36+00:00

It’s been a long time since I've written and you’ve been in my heart. Many big things have been moving behind the scenes. It’s been a tumultuous time, as I’ve been unraveling old ways of operating that are expired now and no longer useful. Not to say that’s easy, as the old to new transition is not firm in footing. So it’s been a wobbly time. Deep underground gestating the new. But now I feel firmly through to the other side, which brings me here to you. **I’ve also been creating a new community space for us to gather in—online—and

Secrets for Living a Divine Feminine New Year

2023-03-28T20:54:08+00:00

I’m in the desert at a Goddess Temple outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. An unlikely place for a Divine Feminine oasis? Not really. She’s needed here, across the street from a military training zone. We perch in the sunshine on the edge of the desert--just after the reflection and review of the year at Solstice. We’re in the beginning of a month long road trip, letting spirit lead the way. It’s a rare slow moment for replenishment after a busy summer, autumn, and holiday season at our boutique hotel and spa. Part retreat, part vacation, all about rejuvenation and connecting

Are You Measuring Your Work With The Wrong Yardstick?

2022-11-08T19:10:20+00:00

“This is a ministry not a business.” I heard these words clearly from Mary Magdalene one morning, as I was coming out of meditation and prayer. Let me share the context for this inspiration. As an author, art therapist and spiritual coach I’ve finally begun seeing a sustainable way to supporting women in empowered living through embodiment of the Sacred Feminine through my book, The Magdalene Path. It’s taken 8 years and a lot of investment and wrong turns to find an aligned path. But dismantling internalized patriarchal programming takes a while (even for me) and I had a recent

What Is The Path of Embodiment?

2022-10-19T19:49:32+00:00

I’m up in the middle of the night, again (it’s been happening lately, sigh) and after all the Tapping, Rosary-praying, meditation, etc., I start to realize: I’m awake for a reason. Inwardly I turn to Mary Magdalene — my spiritual guide since writing The Magdalene Path — and feel her presence with these words forming, “Yes darling, it is I. I’ve been waking you in these wee hours because it’s so quiet energetically. I’m sorry to wake you, but we need to talk.” Uh oh. Ok, I wonder, what’s up? Mary Magdalene begins, “Nothing to be alarmed about, it’s a

The Struggle In So Many Hearts Right Now

2022-10-03T20:58:10+00:00

During my retreat, I discovered that many of us are feeling off, adrift, & discontented in the world. (It wasn’t just me!?) We’re in a real moment. Many are struggling to find what or who we want to be now, after the disruption and chaos of the pandemic, in the midst of various global political and climate crisis. It’s a period of disruption as we see so many systems start to deconstruct. It’s no surprise yet its easy to forget, too. It’s human nature to want to cling to or try to duct tape those structures back together. Even though

What I Discovered on Retreat Surprised Me

2022-09-29T19:55:18+00:00

When I conjured the idea of time away, I thought of pilgrimage. Time to rest and replenish. I had things in my heart and soul that needed sorting, for a long time. Europe was not my destination. What far flung mystical locales were within driving distance? A list was started. Then abandoned. I did what was easy. Not exotic. Just soul satisfying--I hoped. I cried leaving, yet I knew I needed to do it. I was nervous about traveling alone. (Most good/real adventures require courage. Writing and publishing The Magdalene Path sure did!) I made a loose plan: beautiful places,

This Question Brought Me Back to Wholeness

2022-09-15T21:14:23+00:00

During my month long sojourn my primary intention was to replenish and re-calibrate myself. To re-find my own flow, rhythm, timing. To realign parts that were off and see what really was calling me. To do this, I was guided to “wonder & wander.” (No plan. Yikes!) The impact was phenomenal. Each day asking, "What do I feel like doing now?"  When that was complete, asking again. And so on. That simple yet complicated question has brought me back to wholeness. With subtle shifts, healing, and big insights, too. (In ways I probably have not fully reaped.) It’s returned me

How I Re-Discovered My Soul Inspired Life

2022-09-15T20:58:21+00:00

I just finished a month long sojourn: a sacred pause, retreat, or odyssey. “What?” you might ask, “How can you leave for so long?” Well, it’s been necessary. Like many in this post-pandemic world, I’ve had life situations that I needed to get clarity and new perspective on. Vague discontent, malaise, exhaustion. Maybe you can relate. It’s a huge gift to take this time away. Here’s the secret of all pilgrimages and sabbaticals: it’s not all glamour. It’s been glorious…and, hard. Sure, you might visit glorious sites, with awesome Insta-worthy experiences, but these journeys of soul are initiations, with portals to

Something Potent Happening This Month

2022-07-15T20:57:07+00:00

#MagdaleneMemo: I got a big download with an exciting/scary idea. (Most of the good ones are, aren't they?)   Each year, on the 22nd of July, Mary Magdalene’s life is celebrated. The Catholic Church refers to this as her Feast Day, but that may not have meaning for you or I. Think of it as a holy day.   What is important is that 6 years ago Mary Magdalene's honor was officially restored by the same political/religious institution that claimed her a fallen prostitute for over 1,400 years.   In 2016 Pope Francis corrected this grotesque mistake and instead crowned

Finding a New Way

2022-07-15T21:09:53+00:00

It's been a struggle lately. Moments of beauty, joy and gratitude flanked by bad news, roiling emotions, & worrisome thoughts. How do we bear it? There are no platitudes, no spiritual bypass to endure this stretch, this ache in the heart of humanity. So much feels so old, decaying,  with expired use-by dates. As this old paradigm is dying, out dated parts of our lives are coming back for review and reclamation. Hard stuff. Even though we want the better version our lives, change is challenging. And the Dalai Lama famously quoted, "The world will be saved by western women."
