I’ll admit that even as an introvert, I imagined having a big party for my 40th birthday where everyone was welcome, with live music and all the gut healing desserts, where we would all laugh and cry about all the crazy things we have enjoyed and endured so far on this journey. I’m pretty bummed my mom and sister have been quarantined in other states as I bid farewell to my 30’s. What I have decided I would like to do to make the most of these realities is to invite my super awesome yogini mom who has been teaching yoga for over 15 years to teach a Spring Renewal and Resurrection Rebirthday themed Yoga class over zoom with me and my family this sunday, and if you are a supporter on Patreon that means you! ( My own extensively workshopped definition of family is “navigating root chakra issues together” or “being bound together through fluids or finances” ) 

We will be dedicating the merits of our practice to personal and collective resilience, moving and stretching our bodies with intention of celebrating the return of the Goddess from the underworld, and praying and making offerings for the accompanying return of the flow of life-giving resources to the land and all her inhabitants. 

We will also offer prayers for the continued resurrection of beneficial earth honoring cultures of all of our ancestors, who knew how to cultivate and tend with the big picture in mind, and how acknowledging how these ways live on through us in moments of peak self acceptance and authenticity- We Are Our Ancestors Wildest Dreams! We will also be celebrating the release of our relative @tainostudies new EP * Wakiya* by beginning and ending our practice with music from this beautiful and important contribution to the work of reweaving our relatives are currently engaging in in empowering and exciting new ways.

The access details are in your feed on Patreon. Please make sure to check out the details of that post before Sunday to give yourself time to get set up to participate fully.

When I started Active Culture Family, it was because I was bursting with creative fire and clear that it was far too much to just be for me to enjoy or deal with. It felt like a resource, bigger, less personal, like new universes and new paradigms wanted to be born,  and like I could choose to give myself to that process. The idea was to help activate my family who where creating beneficial culture. And, within the spell lay a warning. In chemistry, the catalyst often burns itself out in the process. The catalyst’s roll is to start things that will be someone else’s roll to maintain and someone else’s roll still to finish.

We gathered this week online for Aries Party (recording available at Lavender level & up on Patreon) The 3rd slide here is just a little of what came through. The word catalyst didn't come up so I’ll speak it now. We chose not to delve into the shadow and challenges of Aries too deeply, but I will also name a big shadow of Aries Fire that really came to a head for us in 2020: burn out.

And so the name has revealed more layers over time, and come to be more about finding the antidotes for burn out. And our Virgo Rising says: Nurture. Specifically the way that we as people have always nurtured ourselves with beneficial bacteria in the past. Gut health tells us that our body is not a battlefield, and when there are problems, we don't make war on the problems, we get to work bringing in more and more beneficial players. 

Do you keep a bacteria farm as part of your self care or medicine making practice? 

We have been very honored to welcome @moonbrickfolk to our circle of guest facilitators of @medicinemandala to share with us the from her ancestral tradition of Kimchi making. Many Thanks to you Jenn for helping us to grow our Bacteria Farms and keep our intestinal colonies vibrant and diverse!

Just as the Wheel of the Year Is Fire Worship, and Celebrating all our Aries family, sisters and Lovers is Fire Worship, Devotional Sisterhood is Fire Worship. 

Each Samhain ( one of the indigenous Irish Fire Festivals that make up what is now for many considered an important time of worship for self identified Witches and Pagans ) for the past 4 years,  been our time to sit in ceremony with a beloved teacher and true friend of my soul Ix Tzunun, Paula Garcia, a love expert, humble queen of self responsibility,  always going within to sit at her own sacred purifying fire of transformation, ever endeavoring to more fully embody consciousness, truth, presence, Love, Love, Love above everything…

As I consider just how many incredible Aries there are in my life, Her name comes now. I know her as as an accomplished yogini, one who sits in the fire, who embodies the fire, heals, nourishes, regenerates purifies, nurtures with fire, and that is a major part of what our path of living The Wheel of The Year teaches us. Sacred Fire Keeping, be that expressed outwardly or as more of an inner journey.

To Paola- I feel you every time I am present with my breath, every time I sit in my own discomfort and feel the fire of the present moment and the light of consciousness burning away all the obstacles to unconditional love. I will feel you every time I stand at my hearth and warm a cup of Ix Cacao and ask Her to assist me in coming home to myself. 

We are all so very blessed to have known you, received your magic and medicine, sang and danced and laughed together as imperfect beings on planet earth. Your mindfulness teachings come through so strongly in every cup of cacao, and through your music, that has become an integral part of so many of our inner worlds, reminding us to breath, that we are sacred, that we are an old family, a new family, the same family stronger than before… Happy Birthday my sister from the stars, you are missed, loved, and cherished by so many❤️

It’s a portal, that’s what I keep coming back to. There is this emphasis on understanding the divine polarities, the “other” as lover, which can be super fun when it happens to line up with the seasonal celebration and super disappointing when we are just not there in relationship when the birds and the bees are all doing their thing. And, when we are properly sexed and not in any kind of lack around that, we may notice that our sons and boy-pets and fathers and grandfather-plantcestors are also around, all expressing age and species and roll appropriate versions of this “Beltane” energy. 

This year as soon as the beautiful online community ritual ended, I went into a low grade agitation, a cover for grief trying to make its way to the surface amidst making a turkey sandwich for my son. I missed the days where this day was for Durga, for chanting till we can’t see straight, falling down drunk on Her Shakti, Her manna, for women to study what the so called feminine energies in nature do during this portal. I missed everyone’s ratty old sneakers piled up outside the oak temple, the grandmothers lodge, the yurt, work-trade sisters running up to the old yellow refrigerator in the garage to get the herbal popsicles, that time the movement facilitator was yelling Go! Go! Go! Get your faerie freak on!!! at the top of her lungs in an army jacket in the darkened oak grove while the medicine song facilitator sang sweet melodic childrens song about dancing around the faerie ring. We wound a serpent path from temple to garden to scatter seeds under the moonlight in our ceremonial whites. We saw a snake and the snake saw us…

To enroll in our Beltane Season online course, click the “School” button. (The live part was Saturday but lots of folks make their way through the seasonal content at their own pace with the recording)

?To connect more fully with yourself NOW, set your phone down,  close your eyes, and *just breathe* for 30 seconds. Maybe crush a flower or leaf and inhale its aroma later. Shoes optional. I love you.

Sometimes the only thing needed to activate the innate, sometimes dormant oracular “psychic” ability in another is a sincere question and an openness to considering another person’s perspective as possibly medicinal for us. It can really be that simple-We are all capable of channelling guidance from beyond our personal level of consciousness!

For the past year, we have been meeting monthly via zoom for live exploration and fellowship on the green magic path. Whether you are an initiated green witch/ wizard or feel the call to step onto this path and are exploring aligned feeling ways to do so, topics of past conversations have included :

* The call of the crone

* Integrating paradox and adversity the artists way

* Organic Transitions: Concious Uncoupling Support Circle

* Axis Mundi-Journeying with the Tree of Life

* Divine Time- Tarot for Storm Season

* Initiatrix- Initiating Important Conversations

* Double Goddessing- a Skillshare for Women Sharing Power

* Echinacea Herbal Immunity Tincture Making

* Aries Party: Understanding Aries Energy

* Creature Teachers: Reconnecting with our Animal Spirit Guides

This month we will meet at 11 am pt on Thursday May 27th for an hour  of open Q and A. We will select several participant questions to delve more deeply into in an intuitive, channelled guidance session in trust that the questions chosen will have relevance for the collective in this moment. Maybe you have participated in past circles, or watched the recordings and have questions about the ideas we shared or how to integrate the practices. Maybe you are new to our work, intrigued, and want to hear our take on a specific issue or challenge arising in your life as a witch, priestess, medicine person, or other wise weirdo.

Registration is free for patrons at the lavender level and up, which also gives access to our library of past circles, recipes and other digital guides, discounts, give aways and more.

To see all the membership benefits or sign up, click the Patreon link in our profile. 

Access details will appear in your feed within 48 hours of the live circle ?

Maybe you have participated in past circles, or watched the recordings and have questions about the ideas we shared or how to integrate the practices. Maybe you are new to our work, intrigued, and want to hear our take on a specific issue or challenge arising in your life as a witch, priestess, medicine person, or other wise weirdo.

Registration is free for patrons at the lavender level and up, which also gives access to our library of past circles, recipes and other digital guides, discounts, give aways and more.

To see all the membership benefits or sign up, click the Patreon link in our profile. 

Access details will appear in your feed within 48 hours of the live circle ?

And still somehow, the  Flowers Are Always Right On Time?It’s hard to believe a year has passed in our home temples, processing loss and getting our priorities straight. It’s hard to believe it’s that time again, Flower Time, when things actually want to grow, a time for the symphony of colors, with every one playing thier part perfectly. For humans it can be a time to repair all that was battered over the winter or becoming unruly in spring. For the wild places it is often a time of wild abundance, of playful celebration, pollination, proliferation. Cell division- divide to increase. Seeds sown and forgotten suddenly surface and the colors return to the world.

If you are studying the wheel of the year, our gatherings provide a unique multicultural opportunity to seek the essence of the season beneath the various forms it is expressing through. If you are interested in medicine wheels or other sacred wheels, moon mysteries, or various forms of divination, we invite you to join us this Saturday for an exploration of how layering sacred time systems can give us more precise navigation points on our journeys, providing us the opportunity to experience the pleasure and ease of navigating and creating from a place of total alignment of self, nature, and the cosmos. 

Registration Includes access to our online course portal where you will find the following lessons:

• A Video Introduction to the Wheel of the Year 

• Personal Wheel of The Year PDF Worksheet

• A Brief History of Beltane PDF Ritual Suggestions

• Instructions for Creating Your Altar: A Seasonal Mindfulness Practice

• Access to Introduction to the Law of Time and group reading for the coming season, a live Circle and space for receiving, with Guest Facilitator Gustavo Ik of @kakawsana

• A Seasonal Recipe & a Seasonal Contemporary Folk Music to enhance your ritual practice

BIPOC Folks participate for free. Details and registration at www.riocosmico.com

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. “— Anais Nin

I  love this quote as it challenges the linear model of growth and brings me home to my actual experience, where there are nearly always parts of us that are newborn, thriving, stagnating, struggling, dying, and regenerating.

This experience of consciousness, embodied, evolving, not all at once but in parts, through the seasons of our lives is central to the message of our Living the Wheel of the Year Series, where we meet live online 4 times a year to explore the medicine wheel and cosmology of our Irish Ancestors.

We meet online this Saturday May 1st for our Beltane Gathering.

Nurturing this kind of non-linear thinking dissolves many of the manifestations of white supremacy that creep into what is sometimes called “western thought” like an insistence on the validity of the linear Gregorian calendar, which is made up, and refusal to validate other time science as valuable or real. Rather than seeking to grow bigger or become more, each season we have an opportunity to renew our choice to let *alignment*, and manifestations of alignment like courage, patience, synchronicity, and ecstasy be our teachers and guides.

These teachings are offered through our online portal where you will also find:

• History
• Ritual suggestions informed by years of holding in person community Farm-to-temple Beltane Rituals
• Ritual Foods
• Music ideas & more.

This seasons guest teacher will be our dear friend Gustavo Ik, who many of you may know as 1/2 of @kakawsana . Gustavo will be sharing with us an introduction to the Law of Time Teachings, which we have found to be a powerful resource for remaining in alignment with the rest of the fruiting cosmos. He will also share a group reading for the Beltane Season ahead. Register at www.riocosmico.com, we hope to see you there!

I was raised by Christmas tree farmers who also held full time office jobs, so nights, weekends, and holidays where spent working. I thought it was because we were poor but in retrospect I see that we lived beyond our means. Now I am grateful for my parents sacrifices, but if I'm honest, I wish they had a smaller house, that my dad had more time for AA meetings and my mom could have been at home tending the nest and enjoying her life more.

I originally built my school in 2017 so that I could, among other things, honor my bodies unique rhythms,  live in the woods, and have a career teaching healing arts. Then I realized that there is actually no other mystery school I know where the Creative Director also is the main teacher. I tried that out of necessity, and found it to be unsustainable. So after 17 years of teaching in various containers, I received the message that it is time to trust, to step back and choose more of a support role within the space I created.

In this spirit, I am excited to welcome my dear sister Josie Castaneda of @curanderaremedies to the @medicinemandala teaching team. Josie shares as part of our Making Good Medicine Series, that includes ethics, identification, preventative practices, making infusions, tinctures, salves and more. She embodies the spirit that there is a right pace and scale for every business, that bigger is not always better, the sometimes small batches and small groups can meet us in the places we most long to be met. When we spend more time in practice than in production, our medicines carry a different vibration that can be felt. Josie has created a beautiful line of remedies that includes her Shakti Essences, pictured above, that I encourage you to try for yourself to feel the difference when a remedy is the fruit of many layers of right relationship.
