Era of the Heart
The elders describe this time for humanity and on our earth as a transition into the Era of the Heart. We are building the bridge to ways of living that are different than the fear-based, judgment-based patterns. What will this look like? How we we live and relate?...
The Power of Your Dreams
Your dreams hold the pictures, the guiding maps, the energetic knowing of what you are seeking to bring to life. Your dreams are blueprints, like the knowledge carried inside a seed. Even though the tree isn’t in physical form yet, the tiny body of the seed carries...
Power of Words
Ka Ta See is an ancestral lineage, a way of living, which deeply respects the power of words. In this medicine-storytelling tradition, words and stories are used purposefully as medicine. Our inner thoughts and the words we speak and write have influences and effects....

Coyote Medicine
I saw the coyote peering back at me through the sagebrush. So highly attentive and tuned into the world around her, she was aware of my presence even with the window and adobe wall between us. With ease and grace, she turned away and disappeared among the trees. Even...
Thunder Beings, Lightning & Butterfly
Our New Moon gathering, a Throwing of the Bones Ceremony, was immersed in a field of magic. We were joined by booming Thunder Beings, crackling jolts of Lightning, Winds and Rains. Just as I began describing the medicine of Butterfly who is sitting in the heart of the...
River Rock
I was instructed by the spirits to find a special stone to bring to ceremony with groups of people. This guidance was perplexing. I’d recently moved across the country and just had let go of my license as a psychologist. Most everything in my life felt unsettled. My...
