A good time for healing

A good time for healing

Last Saturday’s full moon created an energy for nourishment and healing. I’m still sitting in that vibration like a little seed soaking up sustenance so that I may soon spring forth toward the light.  The last year has been rough for most of us. We’ve done a lot of letting go. We’ve seen a lot of shadows. Faced a lot of fear. Now is a good time for healing.

She bucks, she kicks on her stall door, she tries to play games with the dogs, […]

We each wrote down a small activity for every day of the month on strips of paper, then folded and sealed them. We met for a masked hike and exchanged our paper strips so that we all ended up with 28.
