I’ll be trying to post one of these a month. In Light of the World episode 1, Ginger asks me about some of the astrological energies going on, and then we take a look ahead into 2015. There are a few predictions, and some practical, tangible suggestions for how to better support oneself amidst all…

Sometimes the Answer has a Few Levels
This moon cycle has been one of refocusing my path and my career, as well as refining my approach. As is typical for this psychopomp, action in arena B brings results in arena A, but such is the way of things. I pulled a card tonight, during my Full Moon meditation. As an aside, it…

Goddess In the Labyrinth
Today is an unusually powerful day. The Sun moves into Scorpio. Venus is in Scorpio. The New Moon is in Scorpio. And we are having a solar eclipse, which amplifies the New Moon. Scorpio is like a fire goddess. She will help you be authentic, in your passion, incredibly present. You have to want it,…
Honoring those who have gone before
I need to put up my ancestor altar before Thursday. It’s time. I’ve got help in the office this week, doing a bunch of my back filing (and believe me, there’s a bunch). She came across the memorial card for my dear friend who passed in 2013; it’s sitting on my desk, his face staring…
Notes from the Labyrinth October 17th, 2014
Today’s labyrinth walk was mostly an exercise in being present. One of the lovely things about doing this in the Fall (and fall seems to have finally begun here in Southern California), is that I get to walk the labyrinth barefoot. In the summer months, the concrete is just too hot. The labyrinth I walk…
Observations from the Labyrinth on Yom Kippur
I’ve resumed my labyrinth practice for the month of October, though certainly not at the level of the 40 day devotional I did this past spring. It started mostly as a way to easy my passage through Mercury retrograde and to support me through the thinning of the veils. I did a walk today, and…
Hold On To Your Hats!
This just in from SpaceWeather: This morning (Sept. 9th at 00:30 UT) the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2158 erupted, producing a long-duration solar flare and a bright CME. The CME, which billowed away from the sun at nearly 1,000 km/s, has an Earth-directed component. A glancing blow is possible during the late hours of Sept….

The monthly special will be updated here on the website when I return from retreat. In the meantime, here is what I had to say about September in the newsletter. If you’re not on my mailing list, and you would like to be, you can sign up here. Blessings to you and yours! September is…
A Short Note on the Current Energies
I have to run off and teach, but I did want to make a note of the energy before I lost the thoughts… I know I’m feeling the solar storm. It has been hard to sleep, and everything just feels off. It’s somewhat similar to what I feel like before an earthquake, which was disconcerting…
Stress and the Relaxation Response
(sorry for the lack of article last week, the Fourth of July seems to have messed up my schedule) Now that we know a whole lot about the science of stress, let’s talk about it’s antidote: The Relaxation Response (coined by Dr Herbert Benson in 1975). While some feel that this is just a fancy…
