Last week was transitional for many people. Leave a single word that could describe your week.

This week I’m noticing things first in the body, not the mind. A place of holding. A place of ease. A place that’s asking for attention, or rest. For me, it’s a quiet tightness in my throat. Not urgent. Just present. If you want to respond, you’re welcome to name where you feel yourself today. A body place. A sensation. Even just “here.” No fixing or explaining. Listening is also participation. We are not assigning meaning. We are simply noticing.

This is not a discussion to solve or debate. It is a practice of naming what is true and letting it be witnessed. This is a practice of "sitting with it." How this works: Read the Call slowly. Respond from the body, not the polished mind. When replying to others, offer reflection, not advice. Begin with: “I hear…”, “I witness…”, or “What this stirs in me…” CALL: Where in your life are you standing at a threshold, even if you haven’t chosen to name it yet? What is loosening, unraveling, or asking to be released? RESPONSE (your share): One sentence is enough. Fragments are welcome. Silence is also a response (return when ready) WITNESSING OTHERS: Do not fix. Do not interpret. Do not redirect.

Hello! My name is Kate but everyone calls me Willow. I live in the beautiful PNW in Washington state with my husband, human kids, 4 cats, and 2 dogs. I am an artist, a writer, a healer, a teacher, an herbalist, and myriad other things, however, none of those labels define me as a whole. I have my BS in Psychology, and am currently working on my Masters degree for clinical mental health counseling. My goal is to help people realize that they are NOT "broken," and that we are all walking a braided path.
