As I mentioned in a previous post, over the past six months, since the Spring Equinox, I’ve been paying close attention to what people are actually seeking when they enter this community. Some arrive curious about the shamanic journey. Others are trying to feel grounded again, strengthen their boundaries, trust themselves or reconnect with a part of themselves they have ignored. And many are not ready to call themselves healers—or even think about developing a spiritual gift. They simply know: I am ready to participate in my own healing. That realization has led me to a new and more complete direction for this community. As we start a new season of our healing, there are changes to meet the work ahead. The first is a new name for this community.. On Oct 11th, the new community name is 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 - 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 The foundation we’ve laid together fits with the underpinning of the new direction. This is a community grounded with intention for personal healing, spiritual development and everyday practice. All of this requires skills built on trust and commitment which all of you bring to the table. I want you to know that this isn’t built around the belief that you are broken or that someone else must fix you. It begins with choice. A personal choice that opens new doorways, and offers freedom to live a new life in new ways that support you. In our lives, not everything that happened to us was our choice. We may not have been taught how to work with our sensitivity, care for our energy or support our own healing. But there can come a moment when we decide: I am ready to participate in what happens next. From there, the path unfolds naturally: ☑️I’m ready. ✅I begin healing. ☑️I develop skills. ✅I discover and trust my gifts. ☑️I build my practice. Not everyone will travel to the final stage, and no one will be pressured to become a healer or practitioner. For some, “practice” will mean a grounded personal or spiritual practice that supports the way they live.
