author • teacher • visionary media

We are in the moment of profound evolution as a species.

As an author, cultural philosopher and creator of media, I am inspired by our collective awakening, by the wisdom of our Mother Earth and by the creation and cultivation of compassionate cultures that honor all beings indeed all life.

How can we create civilizations that are rooted in the understanding of the intrinsic interconnection with all beings, that consider the laws of causality and the understanding that our present actions ripple out for generations to come? As humanity moves through this historical moment each of us has an important key to the puzzle. We are each both student and teacher.

~*~

My novel GAIA CODEX is a heroine’s epic adventure about an ancient lineage of women, the Priestesses of Astera who through the rise and call of cultures, have protected regeneration codes for humanity and Mother Earth. With a passionate and growing global following, Gaia Codex captures the Spirit of the Feminine Rising and our deepening reconnection to our Mother Earth.

"GAIA CODEX is one of the most transformative books I’ve ever read. I literally stayed awake for over twenty four hours mesmerized and transported by its poetry, magic and beauty. It's a book that sources its wisdom far beyond time and space and yet its a book written precisely for this moment in time.

I’ve given it to everyone in my circle and all have been transported by the story, reminded of their own essential nature, and called into something higher and wider then the visible life in which they partake. There are books that touch you and inspire you and then there is a sacred text like Gaia Codex that literally alchemizes who you know yourself to be.

Don’t miss this stunning offering by Seer and Mystic Sarah Drew. The time is urgent. The code is calling to you. The moment is now."

🙏🏼🌟☸️🌟🙏🏼 I, and so many around the world, are incredibly grateful and deeply blessed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso. Today, July 6th, 2025, we celebrate his 90th Birthday.

This morning, I was contemplating the current incarnation of His Holiness. Tenzin Gyatso’s life, which, for the most part, has not been spent on the holy ground of Tibet, the home of the Tibetan people and the land of Tenzin Gyatso’s birth, but within this, he has been a deeply generous and radiant transmission of the Dharma to the world, so deeply needed in these times. We are so fortunate.

I was so grateful to have met His Holiness in a private audience in Dharamshala in 2015. It was life changing.

In our meeting, His Holiness was a transmission of Radiant JOY. It was visceral! He asked me directly, “If I felt there was hope for humanity?” As he asked the question, I felt struck in the Heart with a radiant transmission of bodhicitta. I immediately answered “yes”. It was such a beautiful moment during a six-hour meeting, and I continue to deepen and activate my practice and vow.

The visit was also deeply meaningful in that, in 1981 (when I was 22), I had traveled solo overland through Tibet by rail and then bus to Lhasa (there were no trains at that time). “Returning” to Tibet was a homecoming, and meeting His Holiness was a continuation of that homecoming. I am so grateful.

For those in North America, please consider taking advantage of @tibethouse.us and @menlaretreat in New York as a means to support Dharma practices, the tradition, and the rich offerings of living teachers. Tibet House USA was founded by the visionary @bob__thurman and @nenabthurman
our local precious living treasures. 🙏🏼🌟🙏🏼

As we move forward, may we cultivate bodhicitta in our hearts, continue the cultivation of compassion for all sentient life, and deepen the cultivation of compassion-understanding of the intrinsic interconnection and worthiness of all expressions of life.

Much Love & Gratitude,
Sarah 💙 #dalailama #dharamshala #yearofcompassion

🌺🌟🌺Heather Rhodes’ profound new book “Sacred “Threads” @studiopetronella is an offering to deeply savor. I was honored to spend a long full weekend with a review copy earlier this year immersing into the pages. This is an exquisite treasure of beauty-an activated continuum of Heather’s transportive photography and powerful alchemical poetry. A rare quintessential transmission for our times. Please make sure to add a copy to your library and your life and gift to as many sisters as possible!

Love,
Sarah.:. ♥️

“Sacred Threads is an exquisite alchemical transmission. As an artist and mystic, Heather offers us her sumptuous photography and transformative poetry as a sacred illuminated text. This is a book that is both totemic and a living stream of consciousness, Art to be placed on the altar and imbibed slowly through the years. Here, the Living Goddess and Mother Earth are alive, vibrant, and well. This book is a rare treasure that I will share widely and often.”

💫🍃🌺🥚🌺🍃💫 Springtime @rhinevalleyfarm 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌸🌺🌸

💫🍃🌺🍃💫 Dear Ones, Thank you for the Gorgeous Abundance of your Generous and Nourishing Birthday Blessings. All so deeply received! It has been a Vibrant Vernal Equinox Weekend with multiple celebrations, several women’s circles, and cherished time with my wonderful and generous husband. I feel the flame of hope and inspired action, reflected in the eternal return of Mother Gaia’s cyclical rhythms and deep-rooted wisdom of wise cultural and perineal spiritual traditions that have sustained through time and weathered multiple civilizations during periods of transformation and upheaval.

🍃🌎🍃A few SEEDS to plant as we move into the Spring. As many may have noticed, I have been mostly quiet on social media, and this is with good reason. For those who have been patiently waiting, a new book in the GAIA CODEX Series has been completed. Secondly, a wonderful project that I have been working on with an amazing team of visionary collaborators is getting very close to public announcement. More details to come, but in short, yes, we have been tending the proverbial gardens here.

My LOVE and Auspicious Blessing to All! I wish each of you hope, protection, regeneration, resilience, deep inspiration, and compassionate action and manifestation as we move deeper into spring and the year ahead.

Much Love,
Sarah 💗

💫🌙🌎🌙💫International Women’s Day -One of the lasting powers of the GODDESS, the Feminine and indeed our Mother Earth, is the Gift & Precious Boon of Cyclical Renewal. Let’s remember this as we move into Spring and we find our bearings in these times of collective change and upheaval.

The ⭕️Wheel Will Turn and there will be healing born of our own inner awakenings, illumination and collective remembrance. As the Shell of Silence is broken open and the Flaming Light 🔥 is revealed.

As Women once more Gather Globally in Circles and Honor the Earth which sustains us, as our collective JOY and fierce discernment 💎releases the Clarion Call of “No More!”. We will regenerate, renew and bring our brothers, fathers and our lovers with us as we collectively, both woman and man, cry the tears for what was lost and feel the JOY for what is finally found.

Today on International Women’s Day please make an Offering to our Mother Earth; the Temple of your HEART and Soul Purpose. Please Honor the Mother who carried you in her womb, and your Sisters who stand beside you. We will Birth a New Dawn. 🙏🏼🌟🙏🏼

Love,

🙏🌎🙏 Dear Friends, My Heart 💙 is continuing to try to hold the immensity of 100,000 plus people displaced from their homes in Los Angeles (reference NYT) as of January 14th 2025. Like many of us I have been in touch directly with friends affected and I been in prayers and action for the general situation, and I know these are small drops in the ocean of what is needed.

We are in Upstate NY and I can only begin to imagine what the moment-to moment experience is for those on the ground who have lost, home and communities.

Also as we know this is not an isolated case, across the globe people are being displaced from their homes often with heavy mortality rates. Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon to name a few.

In many ways we are here at a juncture many of us have anticipated for decades despite our best efforts to make sure it did not happen. My novel GAIA CODEX, www.GaiaCodex.com an ecofeminist “fiction” in it genre, anticipates many aspects of these times, both in the rupture of societal transformation and environmental tragedy but also in the hope and inspiration of collective reemergence and healing, born of our awakening remembrance of our essential interconnectivity with each other and with our Mother Earth.

I do have faith in us as and human beings. I do feel we will collectively wake up and understand that we must tend to our relations with our Mother Earth and with each other, with all sentient life. I am incredibly touched by the outpouring sentiments of so many who have suddenly lost everything, and yet expresssed their gratitude, compassion, generosity, and kinship with others. The preciousness of Life. The outpouring of help for others even by those who have lost everything. We know tragedy quickens compassion often in miraculous ways.
~*~
As we move forward may we tend to each other, our Mother Earth. Lets not let ourselves be distracted (and their are distractions) from what is elemental and essential. Although we have reached out to many friends we know personally, who have been affected by the LA fires please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly, DM if there is some way I can support.

Much LOVE,
Sarah 💙

We Are Deep Rooted. 💫🌳💫Our mission and vision will endure. Current socio-political circumstances will not change what has persisted for generations and will continue to flower through the cycles of time.

Some movements have a slower bloom for collective awakening. Let’s not despair but continue to cultivate the right relations with our Mother Earth, with each other, and with all Sentient Life. Let’s cultivate balanced relationships between genders, ethnicities, and social groups. Let us honor and protect the wisdom of our animal kin, the trees and the mountains, the wise cetaceans who swim the seas, and the wisdom of the four billion-year history of Mother Earth, our home, which will long outlive the human experiment.

Know that as Women, we will continue to hold the sovereignty of our temples, bodies, and circles of wisdom when we gather, even when it is not granted. A compassionate, awakened society founded on the shared well-being of all beings is possible. If it is not here yet, we are continuing to reconnect, build, root, and remember what is essentially possible: our multi-generational mission.

We do not seek quickly won rewards of transient substance.

Awakened consciousness comes out of respect for all Life. It is born of compassion and our essential interconnectivity, which is not only a philosophy but our biological truth.
We will create the world we know is possible in a billion small actions, in the alchemy of self and our collective.

Just as the MOON will continue to move through her cycles and the SUN will continue to rise every morning, the SEEDS we are here to nourish will come to Full Flower over time. Let’s join together to continue to nourish the vision for what is true and possible.

Sending my LOVE
~Sarah 💙

💫🌟💎💙💎🌟💫Dearest Friends, Thank you so much for all your deeply generous, kind, vivifying, illuminating, nourishing, inspiring, activating, joyous, sanctifying Birthday Blessings! I am infinitely appreciative of each and everyone of you. The video here is a moment the last sunset rays on the Hudson River, as I ride the train, returning from Vernal Equinox Blessing Ceremonies with a beautiful Circle of Women, last week.

Feeling deeply inspired and softened in our collective prayers and intent for the well being of all sentient life now and through time. The veracity of our courage, the “couer”, wisdom of the Heart. The swiftness and alchemy of our matriarchal medicines, the amrita nourishment of our compassion . The power of the crystal sword which cuts through illusion. The enduring well-spring of Love.

Sending my LOVE to All,
Sarah.:. 💫💎💙💎💫

💫🌟💫Celebrating the GODDESS in Her Manifold Forms on this International Women’s Day. The Truth is she never left us. Instead, she is here in the Amrita Gold Honey Nectar of our Remembrance, the Golden Pulse ((( O ))) of our Cells, the Mother Matter of our sentient expression, and the sweet Breath of Mother Earth.

We are the Flowers of Her Imagination, waiting to come into Full VIBRANT BLOOM as we move through the metamorphosis of our collective species. As we crack open, as the dream of a world of want and suffering; the extraction of precious resources; the myth and rhetoric of the inevitability of eternal wars and destruction dissolve as it is finally and resolutely recognized as the misguided dream it has always been, the revelation of essential re-membrance as this spell of suffering is finally broken.

On this near Spring Day, and in the days forward, may The RADIANT LUMINOUS HEART guide us, and may our wisdom and courage prevail as Mother Earth is once again softened for the sowing of New Life.

Here in Deep Gratitude,
Love,
Sarah .:. Drew

💫🌏💫Dearest Friends, This revelatory offering, SUMMONED BY THE EARTH by Cynthia Jurs @cynthiajurs is here! https://www.summonedbytheearth.org

💫🌏💫My Endorsement Below:
Summoned by the Earth is a treasure teaching for our time. It is rare to find a book that truly transforms you upon reading, and Summoned by the Earth is such an offering—an extraordinary living mandala of transmission and healing. The depth of Cynthia Jurs’ forty years of Buddhist practice is reflected in these pages, along with a deeply human and, in moments, heartbreakingly raw story. It is also a powerful revelation of the feminine face of Buddhism, true medicine as we collectively awaken to the urgency of reconnecting with our sacred path back to the wisdom of our precious Mother Earth. The dawn of a new era has come.
— Sarah Drew, author of Gaia Codex

As Cynthia’s friend and dharma sister for many years, I have had the honor of witnessing many stages of her devoted and miraculous Life. I do not doubt that a hundred-plus years from now, people will read this book with wonder and continue to learn from her teachings.

🍃🌎🍃I am excited to announce this powerful new book “THE STORY IS IN OUR BONES-How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis” written by my dear, longtime friend and ally, OSPREY ORIELLE LAKE, @ospreyoriellelake founder and ED of WECAN International. @wecan_intl The book debuts today Jan 3Oth and is now available for purchase.
Purchase Here: https://ospreyoriellelake.earth

My Review Below:

“The Story is in Our Bones”is a magnificent offering. Precisely researched, evoking science, spirituality, anthropology, mythology, poetry, and climate science, Osprey Orielle Lake, the founder of WECAN, a multi-decade activist, author, and cultural philosopher, weaves a deeply persuasive narrative and wise prescriptive blueprint for how we can both individually and collectively return to regenerative and Earth-honoring cultural worldviews and practices. Throughout the book, she provides a forum for the direct words of global indigenous elders and thought leaders, giving this narrative roots and perspective. The Story in Our Bones is both medicine and a treasure house of wisdom, encyclopedic in its breadth, a trustworthy resource that will undoubtedly inspire not only current thought leaders but the next generations of change makers-artists, activists, and policymakers-who are devoted to protecting our Mother Earth and the well-being of all sentient life.

🙏🌟🙏The Great Dance and Turn of the Seasons, the stillness of the dark winter’s night in the Illumination of First Light. Today, I write here from warmer climes (near the equator, Costa Rica) but I am feeling the call of the Mystery on this shortest day of the year deep in the flow of my Northern European bloodlines. We humans are instinctual creatures, shaped by ritual, marked by by the sovereignty of our souls revealed and remade again and again in our essential interconnectivity with all creation. Out of the womb of darkness, the boundless ocean of stillness and resonating peace, in that emptiness that is paradoxically full, is the “First Light”, the Seed of Luminosity, the birth of new intentions for the coming cycle. May our SEEDS be of benefit to the well being of all life, elixirs of peace and inspiration, for the flowering of harmonic civilizations born of the sweet balm of daily kindness and care felt and expressed for all sentient expressions of Life. A dream, an aspiration, perhaps, but in this first seed there is the quickening of hope in the vibrancy and power of our intended creations. May it be so. Love, Sarah.:. 🙏🌟🙏

More contemplations in Blue ✨🌀Photos from last night, November 20, 2023, here @rhinevalleyfarm in the Gloaming Hour. “Gloaming” is an Old English/Scottish term synonymous with twilight and dusk, the darker part of twilight.” I love taking photos this time of year, late November. The bone trees are present, and the air is crisp and crystalline. As the waxing gibbous moon rises the sky darkens, I walk and take photos as a coyote howls in the distance. No flash. As the sun falls beneath the tree line, the moon shadows rise. I am feral, and I forget that my hands are near freezing in the heat of release. #winternight #gloaming #twilight #Moon #lunarcycle #womenwhorunwiththewolves #priestessofastera #GaiaCodex #artofmanyforms #EnchantedForest #winterwonderland #FeminineWisdom

🌹💀🌹An Ode to the Season: The inevitability of Death and change is intrinsic within us all. A poignant reminder as the Wheel of the Year turns, and here in the Northern climes, the trees are once more stripped to the bones. That poignancy when in the ripeness of youth, we remember that we too will pass. This mortal body will return to the bosom of Mother Earth, yes, but also will witness a thousand and one petite mortes that will happen to us within a Life, an incarnation. To die many times within a Life is a gift of remembrance, a boon of the momentary taste of immortality, an apprenticeship into morphogenesis. May it be so. We think we are static, but the form is ever-changing. The soul is ever-evolving in the 58th year of my life. My hands are wrinkled, even as my eyes shine bright. I know my destination: bone and flesh turned to dust offered back to Mother Earth, my soul with good fortune rewilded into the cosmic, luminous expanse. The two are not separate as we pass through the portals of paradox, which is the foundation of our mortal existence. Birth and Death. Two sides of the coin. With good fortune, I will leave songs and stories that illuminate the minds, words, and memories of those whom I have had the incredible good fortune and auspicious circumstances to share this Holy Sacrament of Life with, to touch, laugh, cry, and celebrate with, and to whom I offer the wilds and writings, the creations, those constellations of consciousness that move through my soul to be offered as living talismans woven into remembered myths and stories that with good fortune will ripple out for generations to come, or in the very least touch those who they have been created for who inspire their genesis even as I write.

Book Club🦋🌎🦋Dear Friends, I am touched and delighted by our communities around the world, that continue to hold independent book clubs for my eco-feminist novel the GAIA CODEX. This is a chance to deep dive into the world and message of the GC with circles of amazing women. On October 18th @ojas__beauty (Karla) will be holding an in person book club for the Gaia Codex in her community.

More details in her post-stream.

🦋🌎🦋What is the GAIA CODEX?

Both an ancient “found” wisdom text and a sumptuous epic novel, Gaia Codex reveals the hidden histories of a world long forgotten, the secret teachings of an ancient lineage of women, the Priestesses of Astera who through the rise and fall of cultures have held regeneration codes for our Mother Earth. Set in a near future of impending societal and environmental transformation, the novel is a tale of hope and remembrance, and an inspired vision of the potential we hold for conscious evolution.

More details, reader reviews and endorsements for the Gaia Codex in my Bio link. 🦋 My love and gratitude to all!

Love,
Sarah.:. 💙

💦💫🍁💫💦More Autumn Equinox Offerings: The relationship with our living Mother Earth is slow, circular, expanded, dilated, and ever-deepening. What is it to return to a mossy hallow, a sacred tree, a flowing stream, year after year? What happens when the statues of deities, the goddesses, Tara, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Great Mother, representations of Creation, Wisdom, Abundance, and the Goddess herself in Her Many Forms are subsumed over time by Mother Earth? Moss becomes a blanket that holds these transtemporal expressions ever so softly. What does this remind us of our short time here in a material body and form, part of the terrestrial symphony of the Earth over billions of years?

I gathered all offerings of flowers and herbs shown here from the Land as she peaks in her abundant harvest. Feeling gratitude. Love, S.:. 🙏💫🌎💫🙏

🌿🌟🌀🌟🌿There is writing that speaks from, and for the ages, that is not worried about following a momentary fad or fashion that sources from primordial roots and encapsulates the cosmic expanses. Sylvia Linsteadt's @sylviavlinsteadt latest release, "The Venus Year," is such a book. She frames the book as "A collection of pieces over a Venus year–the 19-month cycle that Venus makes through the sky in her transformation from morning star to evening star and back again."
Poetry and prose, ascent and descent, the fruits of the Earth, reawakenings of ancient myth, and a soul's regenesis are all here. This collection of writings is to be savored, slowly. Let the alchemy work its magic on you.

It is written in English and Greek, giving it additional dimensions through multiple linguistic doors.

Sylvia Victor Linsteadt is the author of the short story collection Our Lady of the Dark Country, two novels for young readers, The Wild Folk (Nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal in 2019) and The Wild Folk Rising, and the post-apocalyptic folktale cycle Tatterdemalion with painter Rima Staines Plus additional nonfiction works. She studied Literary Arts at Brown University, graduating with Honors in 2011. Her fiction and nonfiction work is rooted in myth, ecology, feminism & bioregionalism and is devoted to broadening our human stories to include the voices of the living land.

🪷🩸🪷I often think of liminality, the edges between inside and outside, seen and unseen, matter and spirit. Esoteric and exoteric. Veils released. Skins shed. The metamorphosis of form. The fluidity of expression. These photos were taken in 2020, in my 55th year, by @ofbreathandbone_ @rhinevalleyfarm in a secret hollow only fully accessible in the early autumn.No filters. Only veils released and revealed. ♥️#MotherEarth #GaiaCodex #sacredfeminine #priestess #priestesspath #goddessrising #earthwisdom #femininewisdom

♥️It illuminates my HEART to experience the extraordinary awakening of Mary Magdalene, the sacred feminine principle in the Western Christian tradition at this historical moment. Mary's revelation bodes well for the balance and well-being humanity desires. She offers a HEART-illuminated view of the world, a searing flame that burns the veils. Luminous spirit embodied and celebrated in earthly form. How wonderful on this Mary Magdalene's Feast Day to receive Meggan Watterson's @megganwatterson powerful new offering: "The Mary Magdalene Oracle"

Meggan is a brilliant Harvard-trained scholar who has repeatedly broke ground in both the scholarship and the lived experience of the Magdalene teachings and path. Her bestselling book "Mary Magdalene Revealed" opened the way for many of us. When I read MMR, I experienced a spontaneous two-day state of meditation. (Read my reflections in the front page endorsements of the book.) Watterson's Oracle is an essential follow-up. You will want both the book and oracle deck.

"The Mary Magdalene Oracle is about a vision of radical love that formed long before Christianity became a formal religion in the 4th century, long before Mary's gospel was excluded, destroyed, and buried. It's a vision of humanity as a beloved community that risked their lives to recognize each other as equals—innately worthy of love, no matter their status within the Roman Empire. And it's about a vision that Christ gave Mary to then give to us, then and now—to see less with the ego and more with the eye of the heart."

🌟I have just finished reading the remarkable new biography of the visionary and revolutionary Swedish artist Hilma af Klint by @spiraltemple Julia Vos, published by Chicago University Press. Voss accessed decades of Hilma's notebooks and correspondences to put forward a chronological history of Hilma's work. Born in 1862, Hilma was a spiritualist, artist, and scientist of the extraordinary who emerged at the vanguard of 20th-century abstractionism. She was a woman who understood her art was for the future. In her final bequest, she asked for her oeuvre not to be shown until 20 years after her death. In 2018/2019, the @guggenheim Museum in NYC did an extensive exhibition of Auf Klint's work which over 500,000 visitors attended. Voss is a precise historian who places af Klimt within the significant conversations of Theosophy and Anthroposophy, quantum physics, and microbiology that were emergent in the early 20th century. Hilma was a quiet lesbian who felt the human soul was beyond gender. A state expressed as Hieros gamos, the union of the inner male and female, a philosophy revealed in the Tantric, Taoist, and Western Alchemical traditions. So grateful to @mollybirkholm for sending me this beautiful book and being such a champion for Hilma at Klimt.

🌺🕉️🌺I woke up this morning to the news that the wise, courageous and deeply insightful Hindu Tantric teacher Sally Kempton @sallykemptonofficial has passed. For those who don’t know her she left a powerful legacy from her early years as a cutting feminist literary luminary with work featured in The New York Times, The Village Voice, Esquire, New Yorker, to her time as Swami Durgananda, with Muktananda, to a dynamic, insightful, and sought-after teacher of non-dual tantra and in my opinion, one of the great translators of the Shakti Goddess tradition into the modern English parlance. She is the author of key seminal books and teachings all available at www.sallykempton.com
I first met Sally when I worked as a Researcher for Yoga Journal in the early 2000s. My main assignment was to check the Sanskrit usage and facts on Sally’s long form articles. It was a wonderful divine set-up for monthly, I had the gift of a one hour telephone check-in with Sally who generously gave her time and teachings as she taught me the nuanced meanings of the Sanskrit words used in her articles. I would research the words, present my recommendations and then the conversations began. Deep teachings, on life and the esoteric body of tantra. During this time Sally was writing her book “Awakening Shakti.” A brilliant in depth teaching and transmission on the MahaVidyas , the Ten Wisdom Goddesses. This was revolutionary at this time a book on these goddesses by a woman.
People often ask me for my favorite books. “Awakening Shakti” the audio version is up there near the top. I have listened to it hundreds of time and always glean something new. (continued in comments)

There have been many gifts received while living in the Hudson Valley. One of them has been time with Tenzin Robert Thurman and his wife, Nena Thurman. Dr. Thurman @bob__thurman is a renowned Buddhist author, scholar, and translator who has been profoundly influential in bringing Buddhism to the West. He is also the co-founder of @tibethouse.us and @menlaretreat (co-founded with his wife Nena) and the Je Tsongkhapa Professor of Buddhist Studies at Columbia University, where he created the first endowed Buddhist Studies program in America. I first met Dr. Thurman in 2007, when he generously answered my query to interview him about the Mahayana Buddhist text, the Avatamsaka Sutra. There have been many precious moments since then, for which I am delighted and forever grateful. A few moments from our time together in our home in Costa Rica . For those who have not experienced Dr. Thurman in person and online, go to Menla Retreat @menlaretreat
and https://bobthurman.com and @tibethouse.us Where you will find a range of offerings. There is something quite remarkable and rare about experiencing Dr. Thurman’s teachings. His knowledge of Vajrayana Buddhism is precise and vast, and the transmissions profound. Highly recommended. So grateful for this precious connection through time.

🏡Home ((( O ))). It is such a gift to root and then to slowly be in apprenticeship to the land, to the house, to the perennial gardens, to the birdsong and seasons the turn of the year. We (my husband Dal and I) live in an 18th century farm house in Upstate NY on a land rich with old growth wood, moss and fern gardens and swimming ponds. We have been fortunate to host many people here, and indeed the property has several houses on it and we have a small community of dear friends which is an incredible boon, gift and joy. Like many of us, I had tended this dream of community on land and when it came it was a natural flowering and rooting quite organic. There is a deep listening to the land, she beckons you into prayer and celebration. At peak summer in these day there are constant choruses of birds and the hum of bees. And yes again the continual apprenticeship and the remembering that we too are here for a relatively short time. Trees that live hundreds of years will watch us come and go, as well the crystal stone rocks that mark the path. Deepening in gratitude, it is rare a beautiful boon to celebrate such beauty to reflect back the wisdom of Mother Earth in her many forms. #home #upstateNy #MotherEarth #farmhouselife #summergarden #enchantedforest #enchantedgarden #Rhinebeck #RhineValleyFarm #upstateofmind #HudsonValley #Gratitude #landoffering #gaialove #gaiacodex #farmlife #farmhousestyle #farmhouseinspired
