The sun child stirs in the depths of a snowy womb as he hears Winter Solstice's call. Encircled deep within the moon's belly, he invites us to ask, “what is immersed in the longest night?” As a seed in the chilled earth, through this time of wide darkness, we find our shadow and bring it forth.

Sometimes I look in my fridge and groan, wondering why I actually have to deal with the whole "food thing." Lol. But other times I'm pleasantly surprised when inspiration strikes as I realize I have veggies that need using and an idea of how to use them! I threw together this really simple soup, which [...]
Mmmmmm chaga tea! So so yummy, with such amazing health benefits, and a great alternative to coffee. Often called a mushroom, it's technically mycelium embedded in semi-digested wood. Chaga's healing properties include boosting the immune system due to its abundance of Beta-D-Glucans, normalizing blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as soothing the intestinal tract combating [...]
When I teach my spirit guides workshop, I talk about all the ways our guides can be in communication with us...feathers are very common, as are coins. And over the last year in particular I've been finding quarters nestled in the strangest of places...under throw pillows, my bathroom sink, as I'm walking out and about. [...]

VEGAN CHILI (serves 4-6) Ingredients 6 cloves garlic, minced 3 carrots (1 cup chopped) 1 [...]
Enjoying the seasons feels like such a blessing... walked for several miles in the lightly falling rain with my sis and her boyfriend this afternoon. There's so much quiet here, not what a lot of people (myself included) imagine about Philly I think. Taking some time for quiet reflection is such a natural and important [...]

PUBLISHED ON MINDBODYGREEN Whenever I teach my Reiki certification courses, I always tell my students “you are the only person who can practice your kind of Reiki.” That’s because energy medicine is deeply personal – our energy bodies are as unique as our fingerprints, and also are constantly changing and evolving. This also means that [...]
The smell of sweetgrass, is exactly that: soft and sweet. The other morning I was smudging my home with this sweetgrass braid from Taos Pueblo. Just as we burn sage to cleanse heavy or negative energies, we smudge with sweetgrass to attract positive and light energies. As such it's often burned at the end of [...]
