Soul Dancer Meditation

Last August I attended a seminar in the Vermont Mountains with eleven other people. We were all there to find ways of becoming responsible Elders for and in our world.

During the first few days, as we wandered the land looking for wisdom from the insects, animals, trees and plants living there, we met caterpillars feasting on milkweed plant leaves much as we were feasting on interacting with the natural setting.

Later in the week as we each spent twenty four hours out-doors in silence to open to nature's teachings, we noticed that many caterpillars had mirrored our meditation by enclosing themselves in little green cocoons.

Or were we mirroring them by going into silence within ourselves?

At the end of the week, just as we were about to leave the seminar, we were gifted by the sight of one orange and black Monarch butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

Together we watched it dry its wings, and fly off, a signal that we also were ready to do our work in the world...and that we are indeed all related.


Philosophy

Soul Dancer...Soul and Spirit united in daily service to all beings.


I believe the Divine resides in each of us and in everything that surrounds us. The extent to which we open ourselves to the light, love and variety of Divine Being is the extent to which it manifests in our lives.
The gateway to opening is Intent. And whether our intent is to open through the religious structure of our own childhood, or that of another's, through a belief system found in another culture or based on an honoring ritual of our own making, the Divine is as available as the sunlight from the sky to those who seek it.
As a Shamanic practitioner, my goal is to share the path of opening and growth through writing, art and workshops.
I look forward to meeting you on our journey!
