Go Outside and Play!

Opening to deep and mystical experiences is not always serious. One of the most effective ways to connect with the sacred self is to drop cultural conventions and the seriousness of being an adult by just playing. A fun, easy way to get started is to create what I call “Gnome Homes” using sticks, stones,…

Nature Whispers Inside You

‎”The sun shines not on us but in us. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.” ~ John…

I’m feeling the butterfly/metamorphosis archetype in my life today as I venture out into the world. My little white geodesic dome, where I’ve hidden out writing…

When I moved here I intended to start painting again. Instead I was led to write Nature Whispering. It’s been quite an adventure on this unique…
