All in Environment
This year’s Refuge Outdoor Festival was incredible and I’m truly looking forward to next year’s gathering! It was the diversity medicine I needed and I met people I’ll definitely be spending time with between retreats.
I grew up in a Black family surrounded by mostly White people and Christian culture (I know, how did I end up like this?!). It made it harder to access some of the deepest parts of who I am and it’s a privilege to have so much more space to do so now.
Turns out Environmental Maturity can be quite luxurious...
I wanted to share four brands I'm really feeling that make things just a bit easier to do my part. A few of them have even caused improvements in my physical health. It may seem like a drop in the bucket but drops add up and these efforts have shifted my overall values around sustainability (can't EVEN with fast fashion anymore) and ideas around gratitude. We need the Earth to live, how we treat it and engage with it can reveal so much.
Happy Earth Day!! Marinate on Mother Earth with a gratitude walk outside. Bonus for planting a tree!
Happy Full Wolf Moon in Cancer! Our emotions and inner landscape will take center stage in this Water sign as the sensitive, sentimental energies of Cancer flow in. Wise teachers Venus and Mercury Retrograde will support any hunger to be introspective around things like relationships (especially around boundaries), communication, Love and values. Read below for more moon insights!
Today I offer deep gratitude and acknowledge the land of the Coast Salish tribes, including the Duwamish and Muckleshoot tribes, who’s ancestral lands I live on, work on, hold ceremony, am held by, cultivate, enjoy and today call Burien. Ajo & Ase
Happy Full Sturgeon Blue Moon in Aquarius! The second Aquarius Full Moon in a row...The last Full Moon highlighted the wild, feral roars of Leo, and it has been Fire season indeed, literally, astrologically and spiritually! This Full Moon finds us smack dab on the cusp of down-to-Earth Virgo so expect and lean into a big beautiful release.
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.”
