I'm happy to announce that Nicole, Petrea, and Terra have won the spots by our Spring fire this upcoming Spring SouLodge season. Lightseekers, if you will kindly send me an email at soulodgeretreatsatgmaildotcom, I will see to it that your welcome and instructions are sent out to you this weekend.
Thank you so much to everyone who fluttered in to toss your names into the (cyber) hat. I truly want all of you to come in and experience our circle, because... it's awesome. It really is! I'm not choosing my fanciest words to say that, but *awesome* pretty much covers it.
As the weeks flip by, I am becoming more and more inspired and adding more content to choose from (Lodge offers lots of options around how to show up and receive the teachings-and this season is going to blow.your.mind.) It must be the Springtime air and maybe the full mama Moon in Virgo that's kicking me into high gear. This is the fourth Lodge, you see, and it was born last summer, so this is the very first one that carries the energy of Spring with it.
There will be much about creativity this session, envisioning it, surrendering to it, allowing it to be born, and be who it wants to be, watching it grow and evolve. The landscape is calling, waking up, and all of the critters are moving about, showing us the way.
I've read much about what "experts" are calling Nature Deficit Disorder-it's what children (and adults) suffer when they stay indoors doing indoor things for far too long. But less has been said about what happens to the soul of Wildwoman when she does the same.
Just as Rabbit wakes up and scratches it's longish ears, thumps it's hind legs and doesn't question whether it should hop out of it's warren and shine it's rabbity light, so, too, will we allow the Medicine Wheel to remind us how to be at peace just as we are in our most natural state. Better yet, to be thrilled about it.
