The Miracle of Rest

I am writing on my last day in my soul’s home here in Port Orford. Many of you have reached out, noting the silence from me—here’s my first newsletter in many months.

Why?

Well, I did something a little scary and a little crazy and took the entire summer off.

I have not rested like this…ever? The last 2 times I took a few solid months off from working, I had an infant…not a super self-focused or restful time. This summer, I let myself be unraveled by time and space, befriended by birds, tittered by tree squirrels. In my long daily lulls, I had time to be amazed by the fickleness of the weather and enmagicked by the wild windsongs of this coastal paradise.

This summer, I learned to sleep again (really, I am now able to call myself a “former insomniac”) and I re-learned to follow my flow and do things in my own timing and rhythm. I learned to stay in bed and occasionally sleep until 8…I read a zillion books and a few classics—see the book review.

I enjoyed a steady stream of beloved friends, took looooong walks, and hung with my delightful teenage daughter. I napped.

And why this is relevant is because I am returning home and to my work and Prayerfarm rejuvenated and refocused in a way I have not been in a long time. You each have your version of how intense and tender and demanding life has been over the last few years, I have mine. My entire being demanded a full stop. I listened.

Rest is a miracle, I also think it is a rebellious act—and it is a privilege I do not take lightly.

My work is also a privilege I do not take lightly. Working with you, your hearts, your relationships, and your teenagers is a great joy and sacred responsibility. I am available for session work again, and my online calendar is functioning properly. As it has always been, I’m open to creative exchanges, and you can always text me instead of using Acuity if that’s your preference.

Beyond session work, I have two groups starting up at the end of October. This cycle, I am going deeper with those who have worked with me for a long time, so these are for highly experienced Constellation Workers. My teaching, and your opportunity to get certified, in Intuito-perceptive Skills and Constellation Work will begin in October 2026. 

For this go round, I am generating less than in past years, but look out for more spontaneous Community Constellation events and other collaborations, both in person and online.

I’m back, strong of body, heart and mind, deep in practice and earth-body connection, and so excited to keep walking by your sides in all the ways.
