Friends, these are frightening times. It is very challenging to be present in this moment; to make sense of what we are witnessing. I believe that we were made for these times, but it is hard to be regulated when we are confronted with so much fear and violence on a daily basis. Please take good care of yourselves and each other. Stay informed, but limit media. Reach out to your senators/members of congress. These actions matter on a universal level even when they feel ineffective. Adopt a practice that promotes calm. Engage in prayer, meditation, yoga, breathwork… Keep a gratitude journal; reach out to loved ones and let them know you are thinking of them. Do your best to stay healthy and regulated.

I am making two scholarships a month available for folks in my community who could use support with nervous system regulation but do not have the ability to pay. Please message me directly to reserve one of these scholarship Reiki or Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy sessions.

I have had the pleasure of being acquainted with artist and weaver of magic, Nora of for four years now, and I have gifted her creations to several friends. This year, I decided to treat myself and commissioned a bracelet, an amber teardrop woven into cords of moss green, my color of 2026. I am delighted to carry a bit of Nora’s magic into the new year. 🙏🏻

What are you bringing into 2026?

I would love to know your intention, color, word, number, whatever it is you need more of in the coming year that you are comfortable sharing.

**********************************

I have always had an affinity for trees, especially oaks. Oaks existed in the landscape of my childhood in Wisconsin and climbing them allowed me to escape into a world of my own, above the nettle and sandbur-laden earth. There is something about their size, their age-depicting density, the way their branches move outward and upward, like “arms in church to grateful sky” (beautiful turn of phrase borrowed from “Every thought a thought of you” by mewithoutYou).

Trees contain healing energy. Their deep groundedness can be accessed through touch. Resting one’s body against a tree allows the nervous system to regulate to this deeply rooted state. As I’ve weaved my way throughout 2025, making memorable passages through cemeteries, nature preserves, forests and farmlands, I have been drawn to the oldest, most gnarled trees and taken time to stop and touch and appreciate. This year, my eye -and my hand- have been drawn to other life forms trees support. The colors, the textures, the intricate, often star-like patterns of moss.

Moss contain their own nurturing, grounding, healing energy. Moss are antiseptic. Moss are slow-growing and stress-tolerant. They lack roots, yet are able to live for decades, even centuries, on a variety of surfaces. Moss are resilient.

As I’ve considered what I need more of in my life over the coming year, I keep coming back to moss. The colors, the texture, the resilence.

For 2026, my color of the year is moss green ( ) and my word is “Resilient.” May I be granted slow growth, stress resistance and appreciation for the beautiful intricacies found in natures’ simplicity. 🙏🏼

It feels a bit strange being in Mexico on the shortest day/longest night of the year, but here we are, watching the sun rise over the Sea of Cortez with awe and gratitude.

Happy Solstice! May your day be full of warmth and your night full of comforts. 🙏🏼

There have been some things going on over the past months that I wanted to catch you up on:

Firstly, I completed my two year foundational training in Biodymanic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) with the School of Inner Health in August, and I am now offering craniosacral therapy in addition to Reiki.

This two year journey was transformational in many ways. I have learned so much about human anatomy and the amazing capacity the body has for healing when it feels safe and unhurried and I’m honored to be able to utilize this modality to provide support to those seeking holistic solutions to chronic pain, headaches, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and sleep disorders.

Because of this addition to my offerings, I have changed my business name from Silver Tree Reiki to Silver Tree Therapies.

After completing my program, I was able to take seven weeks and walk the Camino Francés, one of many pilgrimages leading to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. I will be reflecting on what I learned on the road to Santiago for a long time to come and will be sharing little nuggets with you on social media. I am happy to be home, refreshed, and ready to provide you with support.

You can book a BCST or Reiki session here https://book.squareup.com/appointments/in35y8b96ythdd/location/LJ82A7KVFH45D/services or reach out to me directly. Take good care!🙏🏼

Our bodies instinctively know truth from falsehood. Habitually aligning with truth, despite pressures to align with what we are told or what others want, raises our frequency and greatly improves health and well-being. 🪶
