Earthly Essence

Today feels like a remembering 🌎✨

Not just of the Earth…
but of our relationship with her.

This morning I found myself with my hands in the soil, repotting my seedlings, and beginning to build the garden beds at the Earthly Essence Retreat Center…
and I couldn’t help but feel how sacred that simple act really is.

This land is not just a space I steward—
it’s a living, breathing partner in this work.
Every root planted, every seed placed, every intention woven into the soil…
it all becomes part of the healing that will unfold here.

Earth Day isn’t just something we celebrate once a year.
It’s something we practice.

In the way we walk gently.
In the way we listen.
In the way we choose to be in right relationship with the land, with ourselves, and with each other.

This space is growing… slowly, intentionally, in alignment 🌿
and today felt like a beautiful beginning of what’s to come.

Happy Earth Day, sweet Earth 🤍
Thank you for holding us, nourishing us, and reminding us how to come home.

I look forward to sharing this space with you.

Two more of my students graduated today and what stood out most wasn’t just the milestone, but the way they showed up.

The way they held space.
The way they created a container that felt safe, grounded, and deeply honoring.

This is the work.

Beyond the teachings and techniques—it’s the ability to be with others in a way that allows them to soften, to open, to be seen without judgment.

Something I’ve poured into them… and today, they embodied it.

An honor to witness. 🌿✨

Congrats to the graduates!

✨ Today was something truly special ✨

I had the honor of guiding a drum making workshop today, and what made it even more meaningful was sharing it with my own family—my sister, my nephew, his son, and his girlfriend. Watching generations sit in circle together, creating side by side, was something I’ll hold in my heart for a long time.

And alongside them, my friend Heather—someone I’ve been walking this path with for quite some time. Our lives have woven together through this work in such a beautiful way, and it felt so special to share this space with her as well.

Drum making is never just about the drum… it’s about presence, intention, and witnessing the birth of something sacred.

Feeling incredibly blessed to have been part of bringing these new beings into the world today. 🤍

Yesterday we grieved. Today we act.

Congress betrayed the American people and voted to strip critical protections from the Boundary Waters. This is where we fight back — on our terms, on our turf.

Right now, every dollar you give will be doubled by an emergency $150,000 matching gift.

Your gift goes directly to the next front in this fight: Pressuring the Walz administration to cancel Twin Metals' state mineral leases. Washington failed the Boundary Waters yesterday. Minnesota doesn't have to.

The momentum from yesterday is real. Let's use it.

Double your impact. Defend the Boundary Waters.

Before the overthinking.
Before the anxiety.
Before the patterns in your relationships that you can’t seem to break.

There’s a version of you underneath it all. And inner child work is where you 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 meet her again.

Inner Alchemy is a journey that unfolds, layer by layer, and 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 how you show up in your real life.

Better relationships.
More confidence.
Deeper self love.
Less stress living rent free in your body.
Real relief from the crap you’ve been carrying for years.
Feeling safe enough to finally soften into your feminine energy.
Being fully seen and held by women who get it.

We’ll move through 4 stages:
• 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳
• 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘳
• 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨
• 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴

This isn’t just talking about it.
This is somatic, deep, full-body healing.

Ceremony.
Holotropic breathwork (the kind that moves things out of your body for real).
Reiki.
Shamanic journeying + drumming.
Nature integration + farm to table meals.

This is for the woman who 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 she’s ready for more…
but can feel there’s something in the way.

We have a few incredible women already in the space.
And we’re calling in 3 more soul-aligned women to complete the circle.

If you feel a pull, trust that it’s your sign.

The New Moon in Aries marks a beginning—but not one that requires you to have everything figured out.

This is the kind of beginning that asks for honesty first.

Where are you being called forward…
and where are you still holding yourself back?

Aries brings the energy of courage—not as something loud or forceful, but as the willingness to take one aligned step, even when there’s uncertainty.

This ceremony is a space to slow down and get clear on what’s actually true for you right now.

Through guided meditation, reflection, and intentional practice, we’ll explore:
🔥 What is ready to begin
🔥 What resistance or fear is present
🔥 What aligned action looks like—not from pressure, but from self-trust

You don’t need a full plan.
Just a willingness to begin.

✨ A quiet invitation ✨

I don’t send a lot of emails…
but when I do, they’re intentional.

Inside my newsletter, I share:
🌿 early access to events + retreats
🌿 personal reflections + behind-the-scenes of my journey
🌿 offerings that aren’t always shared publicly
🌿 gentle reminders to reconnect with yourself

It’s a more intimate space…
a place to stay connected beyond social media.

If you’ve been feeling called to go a little deeper—I’d love to have you there 🤍
