Reveal Altar Tongva land, Los Angeles May 1, 202

Reveal Altar
Tongva land, Los Angeles
May 1, 2022

Created with the blessings of Rose

Sometimes what is revealed
Takes us by surprise
Sometimes getting to the reveal takes years
Sometimes what was hidden holds so much to wonder about it leaves us speechless
Lost in Awe
Close to tears
Close to joy
All is love

May we find gentle ways to reveal who we are to one another and find open arms to hold us.
May all be held in love.

What is the promise? Promise Altar Tongva land,

What is the promise?

Promise Altar
Tongva land, Los Angeles, April 30 2022,

Created with blessings from Burgundy Red Clover, grass, Nasturtium and Calendula.

There is a promise I made to the garden.
A promise of tending.
It requires Love and attention…slowing down to see the beauty…
in the grass before I cut it
the nasturtium before I eat it
… so peppery it wakes me up.
The clover that is so soft against my skin…
a thank you?
The promise of tending is really a relationship of love and reciprocity.

May we all be blessed by the promise and find our way to love and reciprocity with the land that holds and gifts us.

We got married on Earth Day, 27 years years ago we allowed our love to be witnessed by our friends and family, there was magic in the air and dancing in the creek. @Sethkastenbaum @Topanga Canyon @Innoftheseventhray #love #Joy #earthday #celebratinglove #gratitude #consciousliving #bridgingtransitions

It's been almost a year since I embarked on a year-long creative adventure/teacher training that combined so many of my loves into a practice I now cannot live without. Gratitude flows for @MorningAltars and its beautiful creator and leader @DaySchildkret 🙏🌺💕 Life is more beautiful with Morning Altars in it. #altars #morningaltars #naturebeauty #bridgingtransitions #lovenature #naturelover #griefislove #beautyinfluencer #joybringer @morningaltars

Join us for the communal experience of creating beauty to hold our love, and our grief.
Come handcraft a burial shroud for yourself or a loved one. A one-day in-person workshop.

Held by the land, anchored by meditation, stories, and practical information from Death Midwives Birgitta and Cheserae, we will create beautiful hand-dyed shrouds led by Textile Artist Joslyn Lawrence. All levels of creativity are welcome.
Wrapped in Love is weaving community around our dying, death, and grief.

Listening is love.
Sometimes all that is needed is providing a loving heart and an invitation. How often do we invite others into conversation without having an agenda for the outcome, or a times schedule? When you sit down for a conversation check in with yourself, are you fully available? When we are asking big questions come with an open mind and heart and take your time.

In 2016 our Weekend Educational Retreat was then called In The End... There Is Only Love. In the 6 years since then it has become more and more clear to us how true this statement is. Cheserae Scala and I taught this group of amazing women in Traverse City, Michigan. We spent three days opening our hearts. Wondering, and exploring all aspects of conscious dying.

Anyone else love to collect heart shaped rocks? They always seem to have a beautiful message for me.
I feel so much gratitude each time I find one.

Sometimes an altar is just a photograph placed on a nightstand, other times altars are elaborate communal places for shared grief, Always Altars are a place to rest our heart 💖
And then there is Beauty...how divine it is when the heart rests in beauty.
Do you have a place to lay down your heart?

How do you know that you are in a working with the right person? If you share a passion and a heart vision, and make each other laugh like this you are good 💕 We took this photo after teaching a retreat at a magical place called the Spirit House, and the Spirit of the land smiled on us. 🙏 💫 💟

My friend Kerenza organized a beautiful coming together of violinists from all over the world in support of Ukraine after becoming aware that some of her Ukrainian friends were playing their violin in bomb shelters.
