WATER PARTNERS: Stella + Emmi, Pao + Starr, Kalee + RosaLia, Sarah + Angela, Christina + Olivia, Lauren + Torrie.

Week 1 - September 22, Sarah will offer a 20-25 minute guided meditation on the heart shaped pond! In addition to Sarah‘s meditation tonight I’m planning on doing a cord cutting and energetic healing.  We dove into water and energy of WILLOW.

Goddess Representation - Oshun - colors - yellows, orange, gold.

Please bring:

• A sense of adventure

• A spoon (A regular teaspoon or tablespoon would be fine)

• Ziploc baggie

• Any offering herbs that you have (for your own personal use tonight)

• You can also bring any pictures of yourself at different times or ages that you might want to include in the healing and/or pix of female family.  This one's ladies only 🙂  And if you don't have time/access to these, no big deal, we can write names on paper.

  Home Play:

  • Bury your crystals and dirt IN THE EARTH. Let the earth compost and recycle that energy.

  • Be really gentle with yourself. Even if your mind didn’t compute what we did - there were a lot of symbols happening for your subconscious and energy body. They know what’s up.

    • Take longer showers, add in a bath if possible.

    • Notice what hurts (if anything) and as an exploration, meet the hurt with reiki energy instead of engaging any stories.

    • Rattle and ENERGY BRUSH if that’s soothing to you.

    • Go outside!! Go outside!! Go outside!!

    • Lay on the earth (or just on your floor or bed or anywhere) and let any heavy energy drain out the bottom half of you body and then let starlight energy fill in from the top.

    • Be mindful of what you consume and digest - TV, movies, music. No violence or “heavy” right now if you can avoid it this week,

  • Notice any stories or wounds that have dropped away, all by themselves. Or triggers that aren’t firing right now. These are things that may have unplugged during the cord cutting.

  • Start keeping a dream journal.

Week 2 - September 29, Let’s meet outside - it’s 3 days before the full moon - potent energy. We’ll dive into a debrief of the cord cutting ritual and also dive into emotions.

• Ritual is about symbol and myth. Listen to stories, myths, fables, legends, fairy tales - get out of your literal brain friends!

• Consider how you might teach a variation of the class we had last week as per our discussion tonight :) Be very clear in your intention and be sure you’re capable and ready to hold space for your student’s emotional work.

• Feel, feel, feel, feel, feel, feel, feel! Find out where emotions live in your body as sensation. You can do this with yourself or find a partner to hold space for you - train your attention and heighten your interoceptive skills.

• Continue (or start) a dream journal.

• Updated EMOTIONS & SENSATION

Week 3 - October 6. Brief opening meditation to connect with 2nd chakra. Archetypes - Wisdom Rising by Tsultrim Allione chart. Emotions short practice - exploring more silence. Moon Phases. Full Moon Bath Ritual. Willow tuning fork.

Home Play:

• Compare the long and short emotion scripts. What differences and similarities do you notice? Post your comments and thoughts in the Group Me chat.

• Practice teaching the short script. There are 6 minutes of silence indicated. That gives you 7 minutes to do the rest. PRACTICE this - what pace do you need to go to fill the 15 minutes?

• Create a moon ritual to honor, enliven or align with a moon phase.

• Keep exploring your emotions - PRACTICE WITH EACH OTHER :) You can connect outside of Tuesday nights!

• REMINDER - if you’re going to teach meditation you need to actually meditate. Don’t be a faker. What are your daily mindfulness and meditation practices? Yes ya’ll, every day. It can be mindfully drinking coffee or cooking, walks in nature, making art - but at least 3x a week you should be committing to a FORMAL meditation practice (I’d consider this 20 minutes or more).

Week 4 - October 13, Dreamworlds with Maria Cataland. BRING YOUR DREAM JOURNAL. Maria gave so much great info on dreams - I’ll post notes when she shares them. 1. Key concept that has been reiterated - Creator doesn’t speak english - they speak in symbol. 2. Trust your intuition 3. You are the expert of your experience peeps!

Here is a drumming track if you want to explore journeying on your own.

I have purchased drums from individual shamans and also from this store in Vermont (bc I wanted a Scandinavian one). Maria’s teacher made hers - you can totes ask for their contact. Sarah, you asked about the tuning forks - they are from the wonderful Ros Simmons in the UK. I don’t know that she has them available on her site, but send her a message and let her know what you’re looking for. She’s also a drum doula :)

Below are some videos I made last spring on journeying too.

Week 5 - October 20, Pop Quiz. Feeding Your Demons. Crystals tonight - these are my go-to shadow work stones/crystals. Shattuckite - trauma and calling your power back. I use chrysoprase a lot b/c it feeeeeels so good to me. Chrysoprase- This stone is a heart healer. It promotes acceptance and healing. It aids in time of depression and anxiety. It reminds you of a deeper love for yourself and what is around you. The things you neglect in your day to day life are brought to surface in different ways so that you see what it is you are hindering yourself from. It shows you your pain, your fear, and your heart...then it heals you from there. Aquamarine  This is a stone of transformation, protection, and truth. I wear this stone often. It allows the truths of every situation to surface through. It aids in facing what you try to hide away from. This stone can be gentle when you connect with its energy, but if you ignore it, it will catch you off guard forcing you to face what it is you always try and ignore. It’s a stone that truly makes you inquire as to what you are willing to go through to get to where you are meant to go. It is a great stone of courage. It allows you to analyze it all and go for it. To keep going even when fear or doubt comes into play.
I mentioned this one but it wasn’t on the altar - I have it on me almost always is Larimar b/c it’s in my medicine pouch - Larimar is a high heart stone and is good for healing and regaining trust after betrayal (and it’s beautiful!)
