The Art of Becoming 6 week Journey offers an invitation to step outside the boundaries of your life as you know it.
.
To go on a pilgrimage to the unknown. Within a circle of sisters. With direct contact with Elemental, Lineage, and Archetypal forces who guide with extreme love, clear guidance, and unerring support. Empowered by the sweet aloneness of your own being and the wisdom that awaits you there.
Not all Journeys have clearly marked paths and signs.
Not all adventures have an identified destination. Yet all Journeys include an Arrival. They naturally point to the next space you are called to inhabit. As you call forth more of the Wise Woman within you, there will be discoveries. That is a hallmark of any Journey for life is full of discovery.
You’ll use the Andean Medicine Wheel as a guide for your Journey.
As you enter each direction, you have the opportunity to work with the structure of the wheel. It’s a vehicle for transformation and a map which offers you a foundational path. Every direction and helper opens a doorway for you to explore in partnership with your own guiding light: the wisdom of your own Soul.
As you enter each Direction, you learn how each instructs you in a new way of living.
Working at the level of the body, mind/emotions, soul, and pure energy, you travel the wheel with a focus strongly upon your own life. While you are surrounded by your sisters on the journey, each of you walks independently so you may discover a new way of perception, action, and practice.
This class is for women interested in walking a mythical path to receive the luminous seeds which, when nourished, allow you to grow a new Light Body and way of relating to life.
The world needs more Wise Women placed in what may be called the ordinary, capable of the mystical.
The Archetypal Guardians become your guides to this new way of becoming. With additional support from the Power Animals, Elemental Forces, and Lineage of Healers, you shed that which binds you within old stories, limits your perception, and blinds you to your true destiny.
The Art of Becoming is a creative, mystical process.
There is a vital connection between creativity and mysticism. Whether you are exploring the inner space, creating art, or inviting a more conscious living experience, you knowingly or unknowingly are entering the liminal space.
This is the space of wild creativity. Where the caterpillar dissolves into goo and emerges as a beautiful winged creature.
It allows for the essential transformation. The alchemical change from lead to gold. From mundane to magical. Yet all qualities for transformation are within – awaiting the conditions which will encourage growth.
How to proceed, then, in this wildly creative process?
When the habits of everyday living and the protective cement of the mind’s idea of self weigh you down into repeating the same approach over and over.
Mystics and children know this answer. One rediscovered. One never lost.
In order to awaken the inherent wisdom you held as a child and to reclaim your wild creativity, it is essential to make art. Before you reach for your paint brush, take a Sacred Pause to consider that making art is larger than creating a painting, poem, delicious meal, beautiful song, or colorful garden.
It is a way of life known in this tradition as living the Beauty Way.
Both a way of being and a daily practice, the Wise Woman moves through the Medicine Wheel open to learning how to incorporate the Beauty Way into every thought, word, and deed. Understanding that the development of her own Beautiful Soul offers healing to the world in her own unique way.
Becoming is a creative process requiring the skills of the healer, warrior, sage, and visionary.
Whether for an individual, community, planet, or cosmos, it is time to let loose that which is wanting to emerge.
The Munay Ki Rites are energetic initiations from the Andes which work directly on the luminous energy field in order to support this Journey of Becoming.
Shifting you from your foundational energy structure and allowing the gifts within you to emerge in new and often surprising ways.
A beautiful group of evolving wise women are journey around the Medicine Wheel together. We begin October 15th and meet 6 Tuesdays on ZOOM, 6:30 -9:30pm ET.
It no longer surprises me how much is offered within this sacred, intimate, and nurturing circle. I will be facilitating the Journey, yet there are many teachers including the Lineages and Archetypal Forces, as well as every Wise Woman participating in this Journey.
Prepare to fall in love. It’s a natural result when you join with the Becoming of so many lovelies in one place.
It’s time to step onto this wheel of transformation. I hope you feel the call to emerge into the next level of your personal becoming.
Let your heart guide you. In this and in all things.
Peace be with you and with all. No exceptions.
The Japanese Society of Forest Medicine researches the therapeutic benefits of forests on human health and wellbeing. Forest bathing involves walking slowly, mindfully as you open the senses, notice your response, and enjoy the ecosystem. Statistics indicate that the average American spends 93 percent of the time indoors and about ten hours a day on social media. That can’t be good for your health. Forest bathing research revealed benefits such as strengthening the immune system, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, boosting overall sense of well being, and improving cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Learn the one essential skill that allows you to face any challenge with confidence, sturdiness, and inner calm.
More than a technique. It’s a game changer.
Life has a rhythm. It speeds up and slows down according to mysterious forces.
Your personal rhythm dances with the celestial bodies, seasons of the year, developmental phases, and the pulse of your Soulful evolutionary process. Living in harmony with these rhythms is in many ways hard to understand as it is a complicated and deeply personal process. Your rhythm dances with everyone’s rhythm in the grand Cosmic Dance.
When standing at a crossroad in your life, it’s natural to seek answers. To search for certainty about your next steps. To want assurance that the decision you are making will lead you in the right direction, with the best possible outcome. Here’s where your mind jumps in.
There are conversations you may instinctively avoid. Death. Dying. The journey beyond are among them. The final exhale. The closing of the body. The long walk home. The next place of being. In many ancient traditions, this is not an ending, but a sacred passage—a birth into new realms of being. Yet here, in this fast-moving world, death often remains veiled in silence, wrapped in fear, and avoided in conversation.

I was playing the game “Headbands” with my dog the other day. Playing board games and interactive games like charades are good fun. Given my kid has flown the coop, we hoodwinked our dog to play a rousing game of Headbands with us. We even let Milo choose the first card, but he seemed to have a hard time guessing what his card said.
As you celebrated the Summer Solstice and the New Moon this past week, our beloved shamans who are South of the Equator were celebrating the Winter Solstice in Cusco, Peru. Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun, takes place on June 24th to commemorate the beginning of the Inca New Year and the Winter Solstice. Originating in the 15th century by Emperor Pachakuti, Inti Raymi was created as major Inca festival to honor the sun god Inti.
