What it meant for me to be on the land in New Mexico with my 12 sisters…
- A challenge to feel my feelings fully with the space to do it in
- Time to listen and decipher message from my dream life
- Making a powerful sweatlodge
- Calling in the four directions one at a time and feeling their different energies
- Knowing that the east, the south, the west, and the north all have different qualities and are important in a way that I am working on understanding
- Space to feel the grieving of the earth, of her species dying out, of her voice not being heeded
- Space to lay in a clear, cold valley stream and merge with it
- Opening my voice to the canyons—crying out as loud as I could
- Being part of a community that lived (and still lives) with the most consciousness we could muster of our inner guidance and of the voices of nature, especially the trees, rocks, and stream
- I miss the smell of the earth, of making my bed on the earth.
- What I miss the most is not having a community around me that is all the time being conscious of our connection and responsibility to the earth.
