Quiet magic for the in-between days
There’s something about these last weeks in December that feels both like I’ve stepped onto a rushing polar express—all busyness and bright whistles and life streaking by at colorful warp speed—and like I’m standing at the edge of a quiet wood, one whose snowbank is beckoning me to just…rest.

Your invite to Winter Intuition School
I’m feeling a call this winter. Maybe more so than any winter before… The call to go deeper. Are you feeling it too? The pull to go beneath the surface of the world, with all its temporal crises, and touch that which hums underneath it all. That whale-deep body of wisdom that is older than our…
The Center of your Magic
The days leading up to the solstice are a kind of peak— a peak of darkness, a peak in the calendar year, and a peak of activity. And yet, as a sensitive and an empath, I’ve always loved this time of the year for its interiority—the call to sit at the heart of the mountain…

The program I developed was an infusion of the most potent tools I use to connect to my own inner knowing—shamanic journeying, dreamwork, channeling, working…
The Forgotten Celtic Omen Days
I’ve always thought there was something special about the days between Christmas and the New Year. The weeks leading up to Solstice are, of course, full of magic—especially when the celebrations are steeped in the earth’s rhythms, herbcraft and mystical lore. But there’s a distinct magic to the week following. The days between Christmas and the start of the…
An Ancestral Practice for Winter Visioning
The most profound wisdom arrives in moments of stillness. That’s why the dark days surrounding the winter solstice are such a rich time for visioning. And it’s also why the holiday hubbub can feel so challenging. This time of the year, it seems like every molecule within wants to slow down. Because inside us is a deep ancestral tug,…
