Most of us are familiar with the phrase, “The only constant is change…” Never has this been more true than NOW…Our current reality is SHIFTing at a rapid pace…Although this unraveling has been in process for many years, our personal and Collective perceived ‘normal’ was completely uprooted at the turn of this decade…what is left in the wake of the Corona Initiation (aka COVID pandemic), is complete and utter chaos. As inner and outer belief systems continue to deconstruct,  many of us are feeling shocked, fearful, dismayed, and perhaps even disheartened…Not sure where to turn or how to navigate the vastness of the unknown that is before us…

Our Ancestors found great solace in surrendering to what is called ‘The Great Mystery’ through ALIGNING with the Natural Cycles of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and Stars as their GUIDES for navigating  the hardships of the human journey. Through a direct and INTENTIONAL experience of both witnessing and EMBODYING the cycles and seasons of Nature, a SACRED and INSPIRING container was created to facilitate an experience of INTERCONNECTEDNESS with CREATION while living in HARMONY with themselves and ALL SENTIENT LIFE.

2024 is a year of 8: 2+2+4. 8 holds a frequency of HARMONY, BALANCE, INTENTION, and SERVICE. 2024 is also marking both an ending  and a beginning of a cycle of 4 since the start of this decade (and the Corona Initiation). 4 is a frequency of form, signaling the beginning of a new chapter for how humanity is forming our ‘new normal’. 

 Within this framework is a recognition that 2024 is opening a doorway into an application of ANCIENT WISDOM teachings to SUPPORT each  of us in navigating this ever-EVOLving ‘modern’ world. WE are being called to facilitate a CONSCIOUS UNIFICATION of the past and present to be of LOVING SERVICE to future generations.

The September Equinox also known as Maban is felt to be one of the most powerful cycles of the year and has been revered as a PROFOUND gateway of LIGHT throughout the ages. It is a time upon which the entire planet experiences an light and dark as equals, rather than adversaries. Therefore the medicine of HARMONY, BALANCE, and RENEWAL is permeating the very cells of our being. This is the Season of the Harvest here in the Northern Hemisphere, signaling a time to give thanks for the BOUNTY of what you have planted throughout this year thus far…

This gathering is for YOU if:

*You are seeking a space where you can ‘unplug’ and reCONNECT with yourself and Nature.

*You are seeking ways to tap into your intuitive gifts and inner wisdom.

*You are seeking an experience of greater HARMONY within yourself and your life.

*You are seeking tools to cultivate inner PEACE and therefore to be a PEACEFUL PRESENCE in the world.

*You are feeling fear about the state of the world and are seeking tools to navigate the shifts and changes occurring within and around you.

*You are seeking a loving, supportive commUNITY to learn and grow with.

On a personal note, 2024 is ILLUMINATING the 13th year of my personal journey of EMBODYING the path of a Shamanic practitioner. I AM deeply called to share the teachings which are near and dear to my heart and Soul as they continue to enrich my life and offer me the INSPIRATION and COURAGE to FLOW with the WINDS of CHANGE with a felt sense of the AWE and MAGIC of this human journey.

Shamanic WISDOM is the oldest SPIRITUAL tradition known to humanKIND. It is cross-cultural, inclusive, and steeped in expansive, yet practical traditions. You needn’t ‘believe’ a certain dogma or follow any particular religious ‘rules’ to participate. You are a human being living on Mother Earth at this moment in ‘time’-YOU BELONG. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.

In the SPIRIT of the year of 8, I AM offering 8 different IN PERSON PLAYshop experiences which are ALIGNING with the theme of ‘Making PEACE with IMPERMANENCE’. Each PLAYshop will be exploring the particular Season WE are experiencing as a Collective in accordance with the cycles of Mother Earth. You are welcome to attend 1, several, or ALL of the gatherings. Each one will be unique and highly experiential. The INTENTION for these gatherings is for you to have a TRANSFORMATIVE experience while WE are TOGETHER and for you to gather many practical and EMPOWERING tools to carry you through the SHIFTS of EVOLution you are navigating both personally and Collectively.

PLAYshops will be held at the Serrano Sanctuary (aka Frida’s Casita) in Hudson Bend in Northwest Austin.

The PLAYshop experiences will include:

-Teachings pertaining to the particular season WE are navigating

-Mindfulness practices

-Shamanic journeying with the drum and recorded music

-INTUITIVE writing and CREATIVE expression

-Divination/Oracle card reading

-Connecting with Animal Spirits and other Earth Allies

-Connecting with Bright and Shiny Ancestors, Guides, and Allies in the Spirit Realm
