Good morning!

This speaks to the collective awakening happening today, as more people recognize how deeply modern life has pulled us out of right relationship with the Earth, with one another, and with our own inner knowing. The “dreamers stirring” reflects a growing remembrance of our interdependence, a return to reciprocity, reverence, and responsibility. As we reconnect with the living world and allow Spirit, intuition, and ancestral wisdom to move through us, the old patterns of disconnection begin to unravel. This shift isn’t abstract; it reshapes how we live, choose, create, and care. In remembering our place within the wider web of life, we participate in the transformation described.

Descriptive Text on Image:
“And in the stillness between worlds, the dreamers stirred.
One by one, they remembered the song of the Earth,
and the breath of Spirit moved through them.
The old forgetting unraveled.
And nothing was the same after that.”

At Christmas, time deepens. The Celtic imagination knew that time is eternity in disguise. They embraced the day as a sacred space. Christmas reminds us to glory in the simplicity and wonder of one day; it unveils the extraordinary that our hurried lives conceal and neglect.

We have been given such immense possibilities. We desperately need to make clearances in our entangled lives to let our souls breathe. We must take care of ourselves and especially of our suffering brothers and sisters.

“When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.” —Eckhart Tolle

We were never carved from iron or fire,
never crowned by the weight of blades.
Our strength was born elsewhere
in breath, in memory, in the space between hearts.

It lived in stories whispered at dusk,
songs carried by wind and drum,
each note a bridge across time,
each word a hand held out in the dark.

When storms came, we did not harden
we remembered.
We sang the names of our ancestors,
and the earth answered back.

Resilience was not the absence of breaking,
but the art of rising together,
binding wounds with kindness,
standing whole through love.

For the truest power we have ever known
was never meant to conquer
it was meant to endure,
to care,
to love one another without breaking.

The Shamanic Worldview: Everything is Alive™
Developed by Susan Mokelke

The shamanic worldview underpins the ethical and effective practice of shamanism. Experiential knowledge of this worldview leads to a profound awareness of the sacred nature of our world and an awakening of compassion, resulting in a deep desire to relieve pain and suffering and restore balance and harmony.

Using journeying and experiential shamanic methods, in this online workshop you will have the opportunity to personally explore and experience the fundamental aspects of the shaman's worldview: Everything is alive and has spirit; unity with the totality of nature; independent spirituality of the shaman; and the implications of these principles related to effective and ethical shamanic healing and divination. To learn more or to register for a workshop in your time zone, please visit https://www.shamanism.org/workshops/the-shamanic-worldview-everything-is-alive/.

🇲🇽🐂 They’re home again! After 160 years, the mighty bison return to Mexican soil.
In the late 1800s, the iconic bison vanished from Mexico — driven out by over-hunting and a loss of grasslands. American bison had once roamed across Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Durango. 
But now, in a major conservation breakthrough, they’re back at the 4,000-hectare El Santuario Reserve in Coahuila — 44 bison (38 females, 6 males) were released as part of a 25-year plan to restore grasslands and ecosystems. 
Why this matters:
🌿 They help regenerate damaged soils
💧 They improve rain-water absorption in arid land
🌾 They restore the native grasslands of Northern Mexico
🦅 They enable other wildlife to return and flourish
Every step forward helps heal a landscape that has waited generations for this kind of revival. This isn’t just about re-introducing an animal. It’s about reclaiming a piece of Mexico’s natural identity and giving voice to the lands, peoples and ecosystems that have long been ignored.

A true once in a lifetime shot. 🌕🦉

Captured during last night’s Supermoon without the photographer even realizing it. Only later, while scrolling through the files, did this breathtaking silhouette of a great horned owl showed itself.

Seen soaring above the wild landscapes of Arizona, where great horned owls thrive in deserts and forests alike.
