Five takes to record this video. Mercury retrograde is making itself known.

We've been in it since June 29th, and because it started in Cancer, this one lands differently. Home, emotional memory, the feelings that sit deep. The mix-ups this week haven't felt logistical. They've felt personal.

On July 8th Mercury moves into Gemini, still retrograde, and the shift is from feeling everything to trying to name it, even when the words won't quite land yet.

Until it stations direct on July 23rd, I'm keeping it simple: slow down, check the tech twice, wait a day before replying when emotions are running high, and give yourself and everyone else a little grace.

Here's what I'm curious about: what's surfacing for you this retrograde? Tell me in the comments, I read every one.

The membership is open now, and I'd love to have you inside. Link in bio.

🍓 The Strawberry Moon rises Monday, June 29: a full moon in Capricorn.

This one asks you to take honest stock. What have you built this season, and what are you ready to set down? Capricorn's steady light falls on your commitments and the structures you've been building, with enough tension in the sky to keep you honest about where you stand.

Moon forecasts like this go out every month in the newsletter, with the full ritual and journal prompts. Subscribe so the next one lands in your inbox. Link in first comment.

What are you ready to set down before the second half of the year?

We gathered on the lawn this past Saturday to welcome the summer solstice together. Cacao ceremony, handmade wreaths and altar pieces, and a closing sound bath. Such a lovely afternoon!

A little recap is up on the blog. Link in the comments.

The longest day of the year deserves more than a calendar notification.

On June 20, we're gathering for a half-day retreat to mark the summer solstice with intention. Peak light. Full bloom. And the quiet turn toward what comes next.
We'll move through it together: a sound bath to settle the nervous system, a guided meditation through the arc of the season, a sacred release ritual, and the simple power of being in circle.

You'll leave feeling seen, reset, and held.

Open to anyone, whether this is brand new to you or deeply familiar. Hope to see you there.

Thank you to of Amber Studios for capturing Courtney demonstrating the singing bowls at the Beaver County Heathen Festival!

We had such a great time at this event and can't wait until next year. Make sure you're following us to learn about the other events we will be attending this summer!

We deeply enjoy being able to share about how we blend holistic, spiritual, and clinical tools to promote wellness, mental health, and trauma healing.
