We live in exciting times. Many of us are like the jumper in the picture above…. taking a risk from the known into the unknown, taking a leap of faith, that greener pastures await on the other side. Recently, a SCL guest asked me about fear and why it causes so much angst when in reality there is usually not a valid reason for it. Unless it is actually a physical danger that could threaten our life, our other fears are all about the unknown and making decisions in which our future is unpredictable once we make a choice. We spend an exorbitant amount of time trying to calculate the best choice. Our life can be like a chess game…if I do this then this happens…. However, we most often base those calculations on our past experiences…what worked out…what didn’t. What can help in those moments is to remember we are not the same person now that we were then. We have developed maturity from our life experiences and we have greater accountability for our own happiness. It’s not the end of the world if we make a mistake or a decision didn’t turn out the way we had hoped. The antidote to fear is courage, and the only way to get past our fears is to engage them. When we don’t, or we procrastinate doing something we know is good for us, we actually loose energy. There is nothing for us in the status quo but what we already know. This is our comfort zone. We know the mac & cheese is gonna be good…we’ve had it before and know our expectations will be met. I suggest getting comfortable with the discomfort of making changes that will bring greater happiness and abundance. The more you do it the easier it gets to engage with the unknown. Make the unknown known by jumping into a new experience. Once you do you’ll have more energy to put towards your future! Have I got a ceremony for you if your ready to jump…Vision Quest starts Friday evening and our Community Purification Lodge is on Sunday. RSVP

Know that you will survive and what an accomplishment it will be! Cost 175$ RSVP
April 28 @ 1PM Community Purification Lodge This sacred ceremony is open to all men and women that desire to connect with the elements, the worlds of Grandmother Earth, to pray (for self, life and others), to purify (emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually), and who choose to grow and evolve as humans. The alchemy of this ceremony creates a safe space for us to let go of what no longer serves us and connect with Spirit to receive guidance and healing. Come join us in a circle of reflections that we can make a jump in our evolution on a personal and collective level. There will be a potluck after the ceremony. There is no charge for the ceremony. Donations or an energy exchange for lodge maintenance are appreciated. RSVP
May17-19 Our 3rd Annual Eagle Dance! Our personal and collective prayers are danced to the center tree. The “tree of life” acts as an antenna to spirit as we pray for guidance from the Universe in the coming year. Drummer singers maintain the heartbeat on a pow-wow drum during the entire dance and maintain the energy for us as we dance back and forth to the center tree. The drum does not stop until we are complete! We will be fasting, and drinking water is optional and recommended. The dance is a meditative/trance experience. Dancing keeps us in our bodies and out of our head so we can receive “with care and with clarity” messages from spirit. The Dance allows prayers for manifesting a specific intent for self, the Collective, and others. We have chosen to be alive in this special time and humanity is calling us to participate as we bridge the old world into the new one currently emerging.
Eagle Dance is an irreplaceable experience and well worth your careful preparation. Cost 100$ early registration by May 3rd. For more information or to register contact Kelly
