Distillations & Dandelions
1:1 Session Packages Available . Sometime in April, I asked myself what I wanted to do for the summer. I still wanted to work with creative expression & art, but in a specific way that would serve in larger ways. I chatted with one of my best friends - my Leo lion sister who I respond with "dandelion" to when I am, in fact, a dandy lion. We brainstormed from my little seed-of-an-idea, and we came up with a number of general topics that seem to be swirling through the collective. The umbrella holding it all? Grief. . I often say to clients that when people talk about "healing", they are typically using a trendy word for what it is to engage with a grief process. Grieving is not reserved for only literal death - it is something we are likely consciously or unconsciously engaged with in one way or another all the time. A perpetual state of flux around any of the commonly known 5 stages. Choosing to consciously engage with your experience & expressing it creatively can be extremely enlivening and enriching for both the Self and the Other. . Now. Skip forward to May 8th, when I had a number of people message me about my book, I Am UnBecoming & I Am Becoming Again. No rhyme or reason for all of these messages from different people to come in at the same time... |
I decided to pull my own card for the day (well, the card is never pulled - it flies out). I received the Saturn + Air card, which begins with "I hear tall blades of grass brushing against one another, painting themselves into creation". It continues, "it may be time to really feel into your filter of the 'bigger picture'. Breathe into your authentic Self... recognize the timelessness of your Light". I mean if that isn't spot on as a synchronicity to an offer I already had "planned", I don't know what is. Then, the next section for the same card - the unbecoming part - is a dream share with a commissioned piece of art connected. Here is an excerpt from those pages::
"I was doing some sort of collaborative art piece. Writing words in a certain way around this massive canvas/picture to give it form. Letting the words create shape. I was going to do the shape of a tornado in the center... tornadoes are often symbols for collective change."

These pages are actually very close to the center of my artsy & oracular book. And, well, we are in a pretty large collective change, no? That same day, I realized I had saved some things to share around completing my largest canvas painting (the 36x48 image just next to/above the start of all of this writing). Anyways, guess what has been "planned" for that piece for years now? A san pedro cactus blowing its needles like dandelion seeds - from a dream where I saw two cacti create a tornado effect near their tops, needles flying as a defense to protect the plant beings. The needles will be in gold leaf and fade out like dandelion seeds taking off..."
. All of April, I had been telling people I felt like I was in a tornado with everything going on in my home, and I was also putting this summer offer together. I've decided to keep these packages open through December 2025. Through the umbrella topic of grief, I have a whole series of topics designed for participants to tap into their own creative essence; share their personal authentic experiences through various collective energies; and, there is an offering to literally and/or figuratively reseed anything extracted for new growth. My very timeless & synchronicity-laden book will be involved as well. . Questions to ask yourself if this sparks your interest... What am I currently grieving on any level? Where do I see grief in my experience, even if it isn't necessarily my own? Where do I feel the call to engage with any part of the grieving process (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) in my personal life and/or my lens of the collective? |
