Lighting the Way with Martinmas

On November 8, 2016 By

By BRANDY NICHOLS


Martinmas arrives at just the right time of year.  Where I live, the last of the Autumn color and fanfare blew away the week before (or earlier!)  The woods have clearly gone to sleep and the shadows have wintry feel to them.  It’s dark much earlier, […]

 Op Ed by Lynn Jericho

Dear Friends,

I was planning on writing about preparing for the coming year — not resolutions, but goals, desires, hopes for being human and becoming I. But something happened on Friday that drew my attention to something that we need to consider first. 
Do we have a future, a […]

The observation of the rhythm of the year with celebration and festival life is universal among humans everywhere and of every age.

The Holy Nights

On December 24, 2011 By

How do you or I experience the Spiritual World at the midnight hour of the soul’s year?

The veils that separate and obscure our individual interaction with the Hierarchies thin, even lift, at this time in the Cosmic Year. With the veils lifted, we might see Star-like Imaginations that lead us to where we can […]

Nature Felting

On October 15, 2011 By

Early Autumn is a great time for children and wet felting. It is still warm and delightful outside in most places.

Take a big tub of warm soapy water (I use ivory soap with kids) outside under the shade of a big tree.  Have a collection of little mini bake pans – hearts, stars, circles, […]

Last week, I was asked to hold a workshop for middle school children and their parents.  The agenda included a listening exercise, an improvisation game, and a quick bullet-point presentation on how intuitive storytelling helps us find the present moment.  I was excited about it.  I see the middle […]

Though much is changing, I stand strong

And in the darkness, shine.

For sleep, the plants and creatures long

But I have work divine.

 

For sun-seeds golden I’ll be sowing,

Warmly from my heart’s depth’s glowing,

Into winter’s icy flowing.

Attention, Affection, Approach and Allowance.

These are the four pillars of Intuitive Storytelling – and what do they all have in common?

The letter A. Alpha.

The sound of openness.

In Eurythmy – the art developed in collaboration […]
