We must create new rituals to hold our heartbreak for the world and to ignite radical imagination for a new way of moving forward.”

— Francis Weller

While I was in co-creation mode for circle on Friday, the thoughts of “you’re doing it wrong” and “it’s not enough” kept running through my head.

I was feeling heavy after exiting the eclipse portal, which had been inviting me to be with and welcome the watery depths of my being. And underneath that heaviness was a gentle nudge to trust, surrender into being, and allow some of those limiting beliefs to be released at circle.

I have learned to lean in and allow whatever energy is present to become part of what is being created through me, rather than believing I need to have it all figured out before I can lead.

So I acknowledged those thoughts in circle and allowed them to be witnessed in my being.

And something shifted.

Being witnessed helped create the space for me to be in relationship with those thoughts in a new way, rather than allowing them to run the show.

Whatever has been stirring beneath the surface, this Pisces Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse invites us to feel what is here rather than rush to fix, understand, or move past it.

This eclipse portal is closing out a 2-year cycle, inviting us to release what is outdated so we can make room for what is soul-aligned.

No wonder this Full Moon feels so potent.

We are being asked to loosen our grip on the identities, stories, relationships, beliefs, and ways of being that once helped us survive but may no longer support who we are becoming.

Releasing to Rise Together

The watery wisdom of Pisces invites us to surrender into the waters of our emotions—to let what is ready to move through us, move.

“A circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free.”  ~Starhawk 

I deeply felt this last week in circle after being out of town for the last one. I felt such a thirst for this space — to be witnessed, supported, and reminded that we don't have to do our soul work of love alone.

There is something powerful about being in a circle where we can use our voices, take up space, be fully ourselves, and have others witness us as we step more deeply into our own power.

The Solar Eclipse asked us to first release what is interfering with our ability to love, play, create, or shine.

What if part of creating something new begins with remembering what we already know?

So much of what women have carried across generations—our ways of knowing, creating, tending, gathering, healing, trusting our bodies, listening to our intuition, caring for community, and honoring our ancestors—has been dismissed, erased, or taught to us as something we should question or leave behind.

What if we’re ready to reclaim it?

I’d love for you to join me and my dear friend, Dr. Michelle next Thursday, August 20th from 6:30–8:00 PM at Dayhouse Coworking in Schaumburg for:

Reclaiming Our Feminist & Ancestral Knowledge

“Joy is the Matriarch of a family of emotions. She won’t come into a house in which ALL her children aren’t welcome.” ~ Joe Hudson

Are you willing to allow yourself to feel all the layers of you that may have learned to hide, protect, or isolate when you were learning to use your voice?

What if the darker emotions aren’t blocking your joy, but creating more space for you to receive it?

Under the Leo New Moon & Solar Eclipse, we’re being invited into a powerful threshold of releasing what no longer belongs and making room for what wants to come alive through us

Ancestors weaving through us

We have the fiery support of the New Moon in Leo, the sign that rules the heart, ushering us into an eclipse portal whose effects can continue to unfold over the next six months.

Eclipses temporarily conceal something that is usually visible, creating an opportunity to see what has been hidden, overlooked, or living just beneath the surface.

“There Is an unknown gift to falling apart. Everything that grows seems to need falling apart. A seed dropping into the ground - if it keeps itself whole, there is no forest. It needs to split up & fall apart. Being at home means permission to fall.” 

- Bayo Akomolafe

Are you willing to let yourself fall apart so you can grow into your truest potential?

That is exactly what we practiced together under the Cancer New Moon.

We allowed ourselves to be witnessed in what is falling apart within our emotional foundations so we could begin creating a stronger, more authentic foundation with the people, places, and parts of ourselves that truly feel like home.

As the humid summer air wrapped around us, I couldn't help but feel as though the heat was melting away everything that was no longer true. I was sweating simply by existing, and it felt like my body was participating in the transformation right alongside my soul.

“We’re not flowers the wind can pluck, we’re roots of rebel and loyal land, we’re grandmothers, mothers, daughters and granddaughters; we are woman.”  ~Cilia Flores

We are living through a great forgetting—a time when force, urgency, and consumption often outweigh the presence of love. That is what makes our soul work even more essential.

Together, we'll gently rebel against the relentless pace of the world by slowing down, listening deeply, and tending the dreams of home that are longing to take root.

 Remember your roots.  Choose what grows you.

Cancer's watery wisdom invites us into a deep personal reset around our understanding of home.

"We the people of earth DECLARE our sovereignty that has always been our human heritage, and TAKE BACK our power both as individuals and as a collective."  ~ Women's Council for the True Earth

Under the Strawberry Full Moon in Capricorn, we turned toward an honest question:

What I once worked so hard for no longer feels worth the effort. Does it still deserve my devotion?

Capricorn invited us into deep discernment—helping us recognize where our energy naturally expands and where it quietly withdraws.

"With her drum in hand, playing her sacramental rhythms, women can once again take their place in the world as technicians of the sacred." 

― Layne Redmond

Who else is feeling the intensity rising in the collective?

With Cancer season amplifying our emotions, many of us are feeling the weight of what is surfacing—personally, collectively, and ancestrally. Thank Spirit for the grounding support of the Capricorn Full Moon, reminding us to release what is not ours to carry and return to what truly belongs to us.

"I died a hundred times to become this version of me. So yes, I protect her. Becoming her wasn't free."  ~Wild Woman Sisterhood

With the airy support of the Gemini New Moon, we completed an eight-year cycle of discovering who we are, learning to trust ourselves, and taking up space as we stand in our truth.

Together, we spoke, moved, and breathed life into what wants to be lived and dreamed through us. I am deeply grateful for the nest the wildflowers help make on the land —a space where we can feel held as we practice trusting our voices.

Together, we explored where we still hesitate to trust ourselves and our voice.

Many of us discovered that our greatest challenges arise with the people who have known us the longest. Family members or friends may not be capable of holding our truth, so we soften it. We put frosting on it. We make it more palatable.

"Your truth is the highest offering." ~Lindsey Ma Ruder

Are you willing to be honest with yourself about what is no longer working?

The world is changing rapidly, and we are being invited into something new—something more aligned with what we hold to be true, sacred, and dear.

This Gemini New Moon breathes fresh energy into our learning journey as we co-create a new world—both externally and internally. It invites us to examine the stories, beliefs, and ways of communicating that shape our reality.

Come as you are. Bring your curiosity, your questions, your voice, and your willingness to listen deeply to what is emerging.

The world doesn't need a more perfect version of you.

It needs the truth of who you are.

With love and curiosity, let's discover what becomes possible when we honor our truth together.

“Perhaps now we can begin to build a new culture, 

one that honors soul and the soul of the world.”

— Francis Weller

Are you willing to honor your soul's longing and continue cultivating trust and confidence in who you are becoming in the world?

Because our wounds are often relational, healing happens in relationship. We need spaces where we can be witnessed in brave community—where presence becomes the balm that allows what longs to be seen, felt, and heard to emerge.

The Sagittarius Full Moon shined a light directly on the places where we have been playing small, doubting ourselves, abandoning our truth, or holding onto beliefs that no longer fit the person we are becoming. It felt like an especially potent moon to gather beneath and shed the masks we've worn for protection.

For me, I realized that I have given up on a future where I self-abandon and outsource my power to others.

“Joy is the Matriarch of a family of emotions.  She won’t come into a house in which her children aren’t welcome.”  ~ Joe Hudson

Are you willing to give yourself permission to stretch beyond what feels comfortable and reach for something more than you’ve known before.

Sagittarius calls us toward truth, expansion, and liberation. Symbolized by the archer, this moon invites us to draw back our bow, take aim at what we truly desire, and courageously move toward it.

This Full Blue Moon reminds us that life is happening now — not someday. It asks us to stop postponing the dreams, desires, and soul longings that are quietly waiting for our attention.

“Being spiritual is inhabiting our humanness so thoroughly so the part of the universe that lives in me, comes out and connects with the part of the universe that connects with you.” ~Mark Nepo

Are you willing to inhabit your whole authentic self and create a house of belonging within yourself?

Most of us women have been taught to become more acceptable by being small, holding it all together, and making ourselves less inconvenient, less expressive, and less alive.

This Taurus Super New Moon invited us to look deeply at the feminine wound that whispers:
“If I become fully who I am… I will be too much — too loud, too powerful, too wild, too dangerous.” ~Sabrina Lynn

Cathy and I walked the land in preparation for our Scorpio Full Moon Circle, and it felt as though the more-than-human world was welcoming us — whispering, yes, please bring the other Wildflowers here.

We were blessed with a hawk guiding us back, three deer, two coyotes, and a crane — reminders that nature is always speaking when we slow down enough to listen.

The depths of support from the Scorpio Flower Moon amplified what each of us was feeling and illuminated the places where we are being called to reclaim our sovereignty.

Change and death are two of the guarantees we sign up for when our souls come into being for this Earth school.

There is so much shifting in our world—systems we’ve long known are collapsing and being restructured. And if we take in every update, every headline, every moment… it’s easy to become overwhelmed and pulled into the storms outside of us, forgetting the unique gifts we are here to bring. 

We are here, in this moment in time, to begin a new revolution.

One rooted in:

• Prayer

• Presence

• Reimagining new structures for our world

There’s a quiet remembering happening beneath the surface right now — a call back into relationship with what holds and guides us beyond what we can see.

I feel called to offer this workshop again after witnessing how deeply it impacted the Wildflowers who attended. Cultivating a relationship with our ancestors and spirit guides can offer a steady foundation as we navigate profound change and egoic deaths — reminding us that we are never alone.

Maybe you’ve been feeling it too—the pressure rising, the intensity building. With this fiery New Moon and multiple planets moving into Aries, including Chiron (the wounded healer), we are stepping into a potent initiation. 

This is a threshold moment.

An invitation to meet the parts of you that are asking forattention, care, and presence—so you can cultivate a new relationship with the medicine you’re here to offer the world.

We always have a choice:

To be with what we feel and respond with intention
or
To suppress and deny—only for it to resurface through patterns, dis-ease, or lived experiences

Remember: what we feed, grows.

“The primary ritual we are practicing is extending love and belonging to each other; we are liberating one another to come forward in our soul’s fullness in service to all life.”

— Carolyn Griffeth

This is exactly what we practiced in circle on 4/1/26.

A deep sense of wonder fills me as I witness the circle way—what unfolds when we allow Spirit to guide and ask for what we truly need.

The Libra Full Moon invited us into truth & balance—within our relationships, values, and what we stand for—illuminating where things are no longer aligned.

“I am not the passenger, I am the ride.” Unknown

If we are the ride, how might we find more ease with the ups and downs of being human?

It takes practice and consistency to show up for yourself in all circumstances. And for me, having a regular space in circle to be witnessed has expanded my capacity to meet myself in all my layers.

We’ve been gifted with a powerful energetic reset after the equinox. The Libra Full Moon invites us into balance—between doing & being, self & others, action & contemplation, solitude & connection.
