Women, we are returning, centered in love, grounded in our humanity, protected and blessed by our relations, guided by the unshakeable, nurtured and balanced, gifted with healing abilities the world is in dire need of now. If you are called to be in service as an embodied healer, it is time to circle up, understand how you are meant to serve, and join with other women on the path. Luminous Path is entering her 7th cycle around the medicine wheel. We have space for a few more women to join us. Comment “community” to receive more information.

A Spell For Creation
✨ Kathleen Raine ✨

Within the flower there lies a seed,
Within the seed there springs a tree,
Within the tree there spreads a wood.

In the wood there burns a fire,
And in the fire there melts a stone,
Within the stone a ring of iron.

Within the ring there lies an O,
Within the O there looks an eye,
In the eye there swims a sea,

And in the sea reflected sky,
And in the sky there shines the sun,
Within the sun a bird of gold.

Within the bird there beats a heart,
And from the heart there flows a song,
And in the song there sings a word.

In the word there speaks a world,
A world of joy, a world of grief,
From joy and grief there springs my love.

Oh love, my love, there springs a world,
And on the world there shines a sun,
And in the sun there burns a fire,

Within the fire consumes my heart,
And in my heart there beats a bird,
And in the bird there wakes an eye,

Within the eye, earth, sea and sky,
Earth, sky and sea within an O
Lie like the seed within the flower.

If you are a woman who is already offering healing arts, and feel you need more training, this program is for you.

If you are a woman who gets exhausted, burnt out, and energetically impacted by holding others, this program is for you.

If you are a woman who heals others from your mind instead of from spirit, this program is for you.

You don’t need to keep working harder, or doing it all alone.

You need to be initiated into the next level of b
embodied healer, while being held by a loving community.

It’s time for spirit to lead you into your true destiny as a healer.

This is what Luminous Path offers women.

An in-person, life changing journey around the medicine wheel with 13 gatherings, personalized healing sessions, and ongoing support.

Where we practice soul retrieval, shamanic journeying, ancestral healing, somatic movement, womb clearing, hands on healing, and much more.

After this heart led journey, you will be able to clear your own energy field at will, create beautiful and sacred containers, and hear, see, feel and work with spirit consciously.

You will feel more confident in holding the earth and her people, and know what medicine is needed in each moment.

Your energy body will be luminous, clear and free, and you will begin to thrive on all levels as a trained medicine woman.

Comment LP and we will send you an application and detailed program details. Due to the popularity of this program and a high number of returning students, space is limited.

The Woman Who Carried Transformations

“She does not seek to escape the earth—
she learns how to rise within it,
the way a song lifts without leaving the throat.

Every change she wears
was once a wound,
every wing a scar
that forgot how to ache.

The old ones say she was not born to fly,
but to remind the sky
why it bothers to stay open.

She walks between breaths,
where endings soften into beginnings,
where the smallest life
can repaint the world
without ever raising its voice.

Those who understand do not follow her—
they simply listen,
for she is the quiet lesson
that transformation is not escape,
but remembrance
of what we were before we learned to fear the chrysalis.”

Bringing the connective, nutrient dense magic of mycelium to our MotherTree canvases. And all she asks of us is our sweetness. Nature shows us how to live in harmony together sharing our resources and love. 🌲 Some of our artists works in progress in Mother Tree, an Intentional Creativity series with the daughters of the waters.

“Most people think sequoias survive because they're massive.

But that's not even close to the real reason.

If you’ve ever had the privilege standing beside one of these giants, you’ll find it hard NOT to think of resilience.

These trees can live through droughts, fires, storms, and climate shifts that would kill almost anything else.

But as an engineer this is what I’m fixated on:

The tallest tree in the world has roots that only go 6-12 feet deep.

That should be impossible. A 300-foot tree with shallow roots makes no sense from an engineering perspective.

But… Sequoias don't survive alone.

Their root systems spread 50-80 feet wide and interweave with every other sequoia around them.

They share nutrients, water, and structural support. When storms come in, they support each other.

The forest is the system: Not the individual trees.

I couldn't stop thinking about this.

Most people try to build resilience by making themselves bigger, stronger, more independent. They stockpile resources, they build higher walls, they go it alone.

But the most resilient systems in nature are interconnected.

Maybe the question isn't "how do I become more self-sufficient?" but "how do I become more meaningfully connected to the right systems?"- Rob Avis

Intentional Creativity Series with Jane Sanguinetti, certified teacher and founder of Joy of Being.

MOTHER TREE

OCTOBER 20 - JANUARY 26

MONDAYS

6 - 8:30PM PST

We will be meeting 7 evenings to connect with the Mother Tree. To root, listen, paint, and become re-sourced. As we find our relationship to the Mother Tree, perhaps we will re-member how to share re-sources, and create more re-silience and communal nurturing. Mother trees are the large, ancient trees that play a significant role in the health of our ecosystem. They are connected to hundreds of other trees and fungi through underground mycortthizal networks. Mother trees are wisdom elders, offering us spiritual guidance, and healing. May we root to rise - together, while becoming kin to our forest friends.

And what might we learn about being good earth stewards, with trees as our teachers? Is there a Mother Tree calling your name? Which tree do you find yourself visiting often? Perhaps it is time to connect on a deeper level and bring your tree onto a canvas.

During our meeting times, we will drop in with the Mother Tree, receive messages, share, and paint what is arising. We work with acrylic paints and lots of juicy layers on a large canvas. You do not need any painting experience to join us. The trees will paint through us, if we allow them in…

Need to miss a session? No problem, all zoom sessions will be recorded and sent to you after each meeting.

Art supply list given upon registration. Zero art experience is needed. Intentional Creativity is for everyone.

This is an online offering for all.

Dates : 10/20, 11/3, 11/17, 12/1, 12/8, 1/12, 1/26

$450 Paid in Full or $70 for each class

This is not a drop in group. We begin and complete the journey together in our red thread circle.

Please email jane@joyofbeing-mb.com to register and find out more. Space is limited to 15.

Step into the circle, holding your unique piece of the red thread.

Bring an offering to the earth. We thrive in reciprocity.

Listen for the voice of the plants who have a message to share and medicine for healing. Bring their ancient wisdom forward.

Unwrap your defenses. Lay your truth bare. And have the courage to be seen as you are.

Pray with your tender and open heart so they can hear what hurts.

Allow gratitude in for this moment and the opportunity to feel alive.

Sense every place in your body as the most important gift to yourself. Stay here, holding yourself in steady, sacred presence.

Drop into your natural state of wild and precious love with each drumbeat.

Feel the vibration and power of the animals echo through and around you. Let your animal self breathe.

Sing with your ancestors to honor them and the old ways. Remember your part in the mending of your bloodlines. Ask for support. Take another step forward.

Move your vessel through time and space, without thought or whisper. Let your body lead from its primal knowing.

Purify yourself in the elements and
saturate yourself with wonder, the joy of being alive.

Send rippling waves of joy and communal healing across the universe for all beings everywhere.

Rest and nurture yourself well. Notice how you are growing and make another offering as the new sun rises. Begin again.

Join one of my circles. From ceremony, to learning to activate your healing gifts, or for a painting journey, there is a circle for you.

Perhaps you and I sit in circle together, just us two, with the universe with us. That is also very meaningful.

I am here to be in service. Visit www.Joyofbeing-mb.com to discover more ways to deepen your relationship with yourself and all of life.

Bring dance + ceremony to your own home or sacred space this fall. There is still space for a few more women to join us. https://www.joyofbeing-mb.com/7directions-womens-group

We have come to be danced.

Not the pretty dance.

Not the pretty pretty, pick me, pick me dance.
But the claw our way back into the belly.

Of the sacred, sensual animal dance.

The unhinged, unplugged, cat is out of its box dance.

The holding the precious moment in the palms.

Of our hands and feet dance.

We have come to be danced.
Not the jiffy b***y, shake your b***y for him dance.

But the wring the sadness from our skin dance.

The blow the chip off our shoulder dance.

The slap the apology from our posture dance.

We have come to be danced.

Not the monkey see, monkey do dance.

One two dance like you.

One two three, dance like me dance but the grave robber, tomb stalker.

Tearing scabs and scars open dance.

The rub the rhythm raw against our soul dance.

We have come to be danced.

Not the nice, invisible, self-conscious shuffle.

But the matted hair flying, voodoo mama.

Shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance.

The strip us from our casings, return our wings.

Sharpen our claws and tongues dance.

The shed dead cells and slip into.

The luminous skin of love dance.

We have come to be danced.

Not the hold our breath and wallow in the shallow end of the floor dance.

But the meeting of the trinity, the body breath and beat dance.

The shout hallelujah from the top of our thighs dance.

The mother may I? Yes you may take ten giant leaps dance.

The olly olly oxen free free free dance.

The everyone can come to our heaven dance.

We have come to be danced.

Where the kingdom’s collide.

In the cathedral of flesh.

To burn back into the light.

To unravel, to play, to fly, to pray.

To root in skin sanctuary.

We have come to be danced.

We have come.
