Intuitive Reading for 2025
Every year I sit down and ask the Earth to show me an image, a metaphor that will help us navigate the year ahead. This year, way before I even asked, the image just fell into my mind… And I was fascinated by what I saw—an ember-red ring surrounding a center of darkness. I started calling it…
Your invite to Winter Intuition School
I’m feeling a call this winter. Maybe more so than any winter before… The call to go deeper. Are you feeling it too? The pull to go beneath the surface of the world, with all its temporal crises, and touch that which hums underneath it all. That whale-deep body of wisdom that is older than our…
What is Lost is Not Gone
The tender ebbing of autumn is everywhere I look in the mountains. The trees shaking loose their gold leaf. The last apples falling from branches, the ceramic blue of the sky echoing behind it all, empty as a holy vessel.

Surviving the End of a World
It’s been a week full of every feeling, every pain, every depth of muck and every kind of love since I last wrote to let you know about the destruction of our apothecary, and our entire town, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. At the end of the day, most days, I feel like I’m on…

Why You Were Born Sensitive
Sensitive people, like you, were specifically created by the Earth to help this world heal. According to Dr. Elaine Aron (the pioneer who coined the term highly sensitive person), HSPs play a profoundly important role in human evolution… With the ability to literally take in more sensory detail (and also process it more deeply) sensitive people…
How to Be a Sensitive in this World
This summer I sent out a survey to my fellow sensitives here and asked: what do you struggle with most about being sensitive? We had over 700 people reply to this question and amazingly, the same answer came up again and again…. We, as sensitive people, are overwhelmed by this world. Over half of you responded that the hardest…
