Once and Future by Desdamona @desdamonarox

We painted dawn into midnight
Out of cement ceilings
we made skylights
From gravel, we crafted fine and delicate chandeliers
hung them with fishing line
so they appeared to float in midair
We turned copper piping into rings
Venus circling our fingers
the oxidation turned our digits green
our limbs transforming
into ferns and orchids
We breathed and our condensation
Created clouds
Our tears fed the sea
We prayed to all the living things
We sat in silence with the trees
Our feet rooting into the ground
To touch the highest energy
The evergreens and us
We breathed in tandem
And inside our lungs
Sprung a forest of veins
Mimicking their cousins’ limbs
We sprouted two intricate flowers
In our minds
For the left and right hemispheres
And we hung our thoughts there
Believing that the petals would keep them safely tucked away
We recognized ourselves
Didn’t need mirrors to see our likeness
Even the dirt felt like us
The sand, our bones in a trillion pieces
We walked atop these beaches
Sinking in, their legacy holding us
There was silence
and we were not afraid
There was peace
And we were not anxious
There was a world
We did not conquer

it’s been a busy season for forest bathing so i wanted to take a moment to share some highlights from the last few months and reflect on how deeply grateful i feel to be able to guide you all on these journeys into the inner and outer worlds, through portals of relating with more-than-human beings. as always, my intention for all of our walks is collective liberation for all beings, and i truly believe that starting from a point of re-membering our innate belonging and wholeness is the most heartful and soulful way toward that goal. thank you all for your presence on these experiences and in the world - your hearts give this guide a felt sense of hope in a world that often feels overwhelmingly broken. let’s keep going, together.

highlights from this past weekend’s guided forest bathing walk with mother earth @olanafredericchurch - thank you to all the humans who came out and shared their experience with open hearts, and to the beings of the more-than-human world who guided us along our way through these pathways toward belonging and wholeness. this event felt so special for a number of reasons, including that my mom was able to attend for the first time 💞 thank you to all of our mothers, both human and earthkin, for giving us life. thank you to the wonderful folks at Olana for bringing us all together. until next time 🌱

assorted moods from the last week - raging against the machine, thankful for new growth, finding community around fires, slowing down to notice small precious moments, and sending wishes up through the dandelions. been needing quiet time in the trees more than usual lately, anyone else?

sometimes it can feel like a lot of pressure to mark celebrations (like beltane) with the perfect combination of altar items, offerings, blessings, spells, etc. here’s an invitation to build your own intuitive ritual with whatever calls to you most, on any day of the week, for any reason at all. here are the steps i took for mine, but the only step that matters is to listen to your heart and let it guide you (the rest will follow, because nature always provides). allow yourself to be transported to a place of full presence, and know that the world will be transported by it too. 🌸🌼

let’s walk together. 💚❤️🤍 solidarity with the resistors, the rebuilders, the students, the olive groves and the old growth forests, the teachers, the waters, the fires, the air, and most of all the earth.

moodboard of the rolling earth.

invitation: next time you notice a mystery, resist the temptation to find an answer. lean into the not-knowing. how does it change your experience of the moment? how might it change the way you relate to the world?

every day is earth day. here’s an invitation to honor our home today:

1. find a place to sit and take some time to be with all the beings there. notice where your heart is pulling you.
2. mindfully gather anything that makes you feel something.
3. taking your time, arrange in a way that feels true to you.
4. offer this to the land with thanks.
5. remember all that she offers us.

i believe that every moment of reconnection with earth is a portal to wholeness, a portal to reciprocity, a portal to Love. here are some portals i’ve encountered recently, from as far as joshua tree to as near as the compost in the backyard.

when we share our portals of connection, we open into deeper ways of knowing one another, deeper ways of understanding that we are one and the same. tell me about your portals, and i’ll tell you about your magic.

the new moon has me feeling sentimental today, so here’s a story.

the first slide is little fru enjoying nature on a family roadtrip to the florida keys in the 90s. cut to october 2023 and i’ve been asked to lead a members’ walk at the epic @omegainstitute - but the forecast calls for heavy rain and none of my jackets will cut it, so i run out to get a new one before heading up to their campus.

only after i got these photos back did the synchronicity of the rainjackets remind me that time is a flat spiral — and that dreams can come true.

thank you to the team @omegainstitute for giving me a chance to make little fru proud. i can’t wait to be back this spring! 💚

hush... it's winter now
.
come with me and let's wander into the liminal space. let’s wander and rediscover the transformative power of stillness in a time of global disharmony. (always and forever #freepalestine )
.
my intention for this walk, and all of my offerings, is to hold space for us to recenter and nurture our inner strength and light, so that we can more fully show up and tend to our world.
