I've spent the vast part of this weekend packing boxes and trying to get organized to teach at Squam Art Workshops next week. It's hard not to be really excited-I haven't been in those woods since Fall of 2009...those magical woods of birch, white pine and maple. And I've never been in June! A completely different season to explore the Northeast awaits.
I'm teaching a mask-making class the first two days, and then on Saturday, I'm leading a half day workshop in beginning journeywork and aligning with animal totems in Medicine Shawl. What excites me about this is that some of my close and trusted allies get to come with me.
Coyote is always by my side in some form or another, and since I'm having to travel as light as possible, I'm bringing a bag that was gifted to me by my dad years ago at a powwow. Leaving my medicine behind seldom happens anymore. I find a way to justify bringing a myriad of *help* wherever I travel. In a very large box, on top of all of my classroom supplies, sits a few of my favorite things, ready for their journey cross-country.
I'm celebrating being packed and ready to go a week ahead of time by having a sale in my shop! Use coupon code 15COYOTE at the Etsy checkout to receive 15% off of your total order.
This coupon applies to everything in my store, including the Deck of 30 Postcards that keeps blowing out. I've just listed some more, thank you so much for insisting I do this-it really does feel nice to see them packaged this way. As I was assembling sets of them to take to Squam, it occured to me that if you use them as a divining deck, there is plenty of room to make notes on the backs of them, and add to their meanings as you integrate them into YOUR intuitive process.
