Kelly’s Blog:

TIME is speeding up again. The pandemic gave us a strange and necessary glimpse of who and what was important in our lives. Many of us had extended time to spend with those we love while others were separated. Truly the world will never be the same again for humans. The old structures in our world are disintegrating and the new structure is not yet in place. Social and political extremes are the norm. Technology is exploding and it feels as though we are on the precipice of something huge. There are so many issues seeking resolution and solution is not quite visible. This can create RESISTANCE to aligning with the new energy. We are learning to live in peace with paradox by letting go of our judgements, our wounding, and finding happiness even within what we cannot change…. quite yet.

Hello! This is my first blog. I woke up this morning thinking about change and the difficulty most of us have moving forward on our dreams. We often wait for some imagined perfect timing before acting on a plan. All of our ducks must be in a row before we take action. The universe is watching and waiting to see if we are serious about our desires. The moment we actually take action on our desires the universe takes note and the path becomes clearer with every step forward. The universe begins sending gifts of opportunity that assist us toward manifesting what we desire. The lesson of all of this is do not wait to take a step forward any step at all is better than waiting. Before you know it you will turn around one day and see how far you’ve come.

New Moon & New Directions

April 16, 2026

On a soul search in the woods to revive my spirit and be loved by triangle faces of trilliums and lacy maidenhair ferns… I saw them in the corner of my eye. Morels! The dry weather had given me little hope of actually finding some this year but once again nature teaches me that surviving the dry spells and hardships of life bring about our greatest harvests.

The April New Moon is full of fiery cataclysmic energy that can lead us into healing or back down the well worn road we know so well. Just when you think the world might take a peaceful moment to exhale and go to the beach, we are asked to stretch even further and lean into the unexpected. What’s that old saying about God and the Universe not giving you more than you can handle? New moons are for fresh perspectives and new beginnings. The Universe is sending us a nudge to heal old wounds and take the higher road. It’s not that easy. It’s not all unicorns and roses out there….but there are magickal Morels if you keep looking!

Eagle Dance Preparation Zoom - Sunday, April 19 @ 5:00 PM 6:30 PM Preparations can often feel mysterious and overwhelming, so Kelly will be answering questions to help you along in your process. It is recommended that one start preparations 2-4 weeks in advance of the ceremony.We are gathering on zoom to support first time Eagle Dancers in making or crafting their ceremonial items. RSVP Kelly to receive a zoom link.

Here is what we will cover: 

  1. What is regalia and how do you create your own ceremonial clothing.

  2. How to make your own shamanic shield. First time Eagle Dancers will learn their circle of birth sitting place animals to create their first shield.

  3. What is a forked pole and how to make one.

  4. Guidelines for making turkey whistles and plumes honoring the give away of the birds. Order kits through the links.

  5. Hokkshideh bundles align you with the worlds and powers of Grandmother Earth and protect your own essence when wearing.

Outgrow Yourself with the Star Maiden’s Circle Teachings: A transformational four-part journey designed to help you release outdated habits, rewrite internal narratives, and create powerful, productive patterns that align with your highest self.

We have 3 more classes (April 23, May 28, June 4). If you don’t mind jumping in where we are let me know. RSVP Kelly

May 15-17 We are thrilled to offer our 5th 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 also pray to bring our beauty and purpose into the world around us. The people of Grandmother Earth need our prayers.  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.
