The Art of Receiving is such an important part of the creative process. Every act of engaging our senses is a reception of some form or other. The sensory world informs all the matrix’s that make up our experience, when we open to sight, sounds, tastes and touch, new information comes in …

I love great mountains, rivers, oceans, and secret fresh water springs, I love flowers and trees and consorting with fairies. I prefer high places with good views, but have been found wandering along rivers in distant countries.

My intention has been to find the mythic in the land, and weave my soul with the ancient leylines of the land, both in Malta and the UK. These last few months I have spent in Glastonbury, England, a place long known as the mystical isle and realm of Avalon…

"Heart Healing" and "Relationship Alchemy" is a theme I really enjoy working with, I would like to share with you a series of explorations on how to make subtle yet powerful shifts in our "Assemblage Point of Love."

What reflections are manifesting in your life as we move thru this powerful Full Moon/ Imbolc gateway? What fills your Chalice? What drains your Juice? How can you bring more balance into your life by harmonizing the elements of Fire and Water?

How often are we seeking union outside of ourselves?

when the truth is...
every moment of existence is a dance with Union!

"In search of Venus...I set out in the softness of dawn, to wander with the earth and vast sky. As the shades and colors of sunrise greet me, I am enchanted by the purity of new day."

Invocation for healing and remembrance to help us align with our deeper passion, path and purpose, during these times of great change.

“I want to give you something gritty you can count on...

like the salt of my tears

soil from the garden

warmth of the fire

the wind at our backs

the growl of a grizzly bear at dawn...
