Harvesting Wild Rice: The Poetry + The Process

September 30, 2013June 25, 2021

The Initial Daydream This August I fulfilled a long haunting dream of mine – to harvest rice in the wild beds of Minnesota. The idea began as a simple seed in my early twenties. I was idealistic, entranced with the world and still exploring the ideas of living close to the land, harvesting the natural nourishment…

For the rest of this year, I’m doing something I For the rest of this year, I’m doing something I never thought I’d get the chance to do… Something I’ve fantasized about for *years* but couldn’t figure out how to make possible… I am taking a SABBATICAL. (Even just typing that gave me a little thrill, like the sparkles of light on top of summer water) ✨ For the rest of the year I’ll be stepping away from all social media, emails etc. to work ok my next book! I WILL however still be releasing weekly podcasts over on Remember Why You Are Here! 🎙️ So if you want to continue to connect (and get exclusive updates about the wild journey of my sabbatical!) join the inner circle through my newsletter list or subscribe to the podcast. To be honest, this sabbatical almost didn’t happen. After Hurricane Helene hit last year and I lost my apothecary and months of work I had no idea how it COULD… But here I am. 😇 And as I’ve been preparing for this big adventure…I’ve also been taking notes. *Are you curious about taking a sabbatical in your own life?* My new podcast episode is all about how to create this soul-led opportunity for yourself. 👉 🌹 How you know you need a sabbatical 🌹 Logistics (financial, social, soulful) 🌹 How living through a disaster changed me 🌹 My story of realizing what I was willing to risk 🌹 Why sabbaticals will rewire your existence 🌹 What to do during a mid-project (or sabbatical) slump Tune in if you’re ready to take this kind of deep-time re-orientation for yourself. And until I return…take sweet care!! PS. check out the carousel above for my official goodbye…and the vision I keep having as I embark! 💐
So many big things moved last month, *it was a ref So many big things moved last month, *it was a refreshment* to pick the card for August’s intuitive reading and really feel this sense of clarity coming through... I’m hoping it will give you permission to say yes to the next path that is calling to you. To keep choosing the path where you feel most alive. The path that is lined with herbs that smell like belonging. The path that helps you remember why you are here. Curious about what’s coming in this month? Listen to this August’s full intuitive reading on the podcast, and embrace this medicine floating in on the breeze. . .

Like a moonflower opening at night, you make sense Like a moonflower opening at night, you make sense in the deepest, most poetic way... And all that energy? Those things that seem big or complicated or in conflict or mysterious within you? They are what make you so spectacularly unique and deeply needed on this Earth. So thank you for being the paradox that you are. What you are offering this world, through simply being brave enough to open, is as beautiful as moonlight turning midnight petals into lanterns of light .

Our world is FULL of paradox, and yet it’s our n Our world is FULL of paradox, and yet it’s our nature to try to fit our experiences, and our own selves, into categories that “make sense.” But when you can *embrace* the paradox that you are... the full flow of your life force and gifts can arrive to this planet. THIS...is exactly what my new podcast episode is about. Tune in to learn: 🌗 Why paradox is the key to understanding spiritual truths 🌗 How embracing paradox expands your consciousness 🌗 That time when two people admitted they had two COMPLETELY different stories about who I was (and why this delighted me) 🌗 What happens when you embrace your true paradoxical nature 🌗 Why you were always meant to be a Zen Koan And if you are feeling called to explore your own multitudinous self through any of my classes… use the code “BIRTHDAY20” at checkout for 20% OFF all courses between now and midnight PT on my birthday (July 18th)! I’m looking forward to a delightfully paradoxical weekend of celebration, and welcoming you into a class would just be the icing on my cake 🎂
Dropping into this July’s intuitive reading felt Dropping into this July’s intuitive reading felt like building a pillow fort on the back porch on a starry night…   Like jumping in the rainbow of a sprinkler…    Or laughing so hard you get a reset as fresh as a good cry.   This month we have the opportunity to heal some major stuff—not through work—but through play.   Curious about the healing energies coming in for you now? Check out July’s full reading on the podcast and tune into:  🎙️  🌈 Opening new levels of freedom through play 🌈 Allowing the pain of the past to heal itself 🌈 Inner child healing and homecoming 🌈 Accessing magical flow states 🌈 How to discover your unique “play pathways”   Card from deck by @four.noble.healing
The BIG thing I’m letting go of… Ever since H The BIG thing I’m letting go of… Ever since Hurricane Helene swept through our mountains last fall, destroying my apothecary of the last 12 years (One Willow Apothecaries) I’ve received so many beautiful messages asking (and sometimes begging!) me—“will you restart the apothecary?” It’s a question I’ve been sitting with— in tenderness, in wonderment, in grief and trust— since the moment I heard that nine feet of water swept through our doors. But after two seasons of sitting with the question, I feel clear.  I am letting go of One Willow Apothecaries. 🤍🕊️ It’s hard for me to express the depth of what One Willow has meant to me! It was the beginning of my career. A pillar that supported me through every major leap I made in life. The gathering place where I met so many incredible people.  (Maybe it was even how I first met you!?) Making medicines and sending them around the world was truly a dream come true for me… And now it’s time for the next dream to come into form. 😌 I went and visited my old space last week at @marshallhighstudios, to see it all healed up and ready for its new tenant (an 80 year old weaver who also lost her whole studio in the hurricane) and I felt the most profound and heartfelt gratitude for this whole journey. So whether you’ve been walking with me since the inception of One Willow Apothecaries almost thirteen years ago, or you just stepped through the door recently… Thank you. 🙏 Thank you for being a part of my life. For showing me that dreams are possible. For continuing to walk with me as we all say yes to the leaps in our growth that our soul came here to experience. Here is to the next dream, already unfolding 🌈
