For Life, Love, & Loss

02/17/2026

When some people walk a labyrinth, they like to carry something with them to hold, to remind them of something, to put their worries on, or they just need that tactile sense engaged.

The labyrinth at St. Francis is one of the few that I've walked that has intentionally thought of this by having shells available for guest to pick up and walk with, and they have created a space in the center for people to leave their shells (making use of our natural environment close to the ocean). This leaving of shells can be a letting go for people or an offering for their wishes and prayers.

On the walk this weekend you'll be invited to pick one up to carry with you to leave in the center. If you'd like to bring your own natural object, please do.

We walk at 4 pm Saturday February 21st.
Our themes for this first walk in the series for 2026 include endings, reflections, and turning inward.

February is the quiet, reflective month before spring arrives. Join me February 21st at 4 pm at the Labyrinth at St. Francis by the Sea in Salter Path, NC for our first monthly walk in the series.

Our threshold focus for this walk is that of letting go of what no longer serves, attending to inner landscapes, and honoring endings.

All are welcome. The event is free.

The 6-petal flower in the center of a medieval labyrinth. Some have said this is the symbol for the rose and that each petal represents a specific kingdom.

This particular labyrinth can be found at The Kanuga Retreat Center in Hendersonville, NC.

The Methodist Church in Oriental in Eastern NC also has a medieval labyrinth.

A student once emailed this statement to me a few days after a training weekend-
“I have been so energized since Sunday, off the charts! The most significant thing I have noticed is that my awareness is much higher.”

People often ask what will happen during a Reiki class and/or the attunement ceremony. The honest answer is: I can’t predict that for you. I don’t make promises about specific experiences or sensations. What I can promise is that you’ll learn the practices and the hand positions, and you’ll leave with tools you can actually use. My goal is always to empower you and remind you of things you may already know.

Over the years, I’ve seen the full range: some people notice strong sensations or shifts right away, some notice subtle changes unfolding over the following days or weeks, and some don’t notice much at all at first. None of that means it’s “working” or “not working.” It just means everyone’s nervous system, life, and timing are different.

There’s no one right way this is supposed to feel. Everyone’s experience is their own.

Rooted in a tradition of Buddhist mindfulness and compassion, Reiki Level I & II offers practical tools for sensing energy, cultivating presence, and bringing awareness and care into everyday life.

In Level I, you’ll learn the Five Reiki Principles:

Just for today, I will let go of worry.
Just for today, I will let go of anger.
Just for today, I will show appreciation.
Just for today, I will work on my spiritual growth.
Just for today, I will be kind to others.

These simple words invite reflection, connection, and compassion into each moment right now. You'll learn skills like this and those that you can feel, practice, and carry with you anywhere.

I invite you to say them once or three times and notice how you feel after.
