“One must follow the light of the inner constellation, or they will miss their star and ‘follow the wrong gods home.’ We are truly original when we act from the inner spirit of our lives.” — Michael Meade

The Wildflowers came ready to lean into the places where we were out of alignment and look honestly at the patterns and relationship dynamics asking to be reexamined and restructured.

We gathered in the nest, surrendering into the airy support of Libra, creating space to honor our full expression while inviting each other to spread our wings.

There was a deep sense of resonance as we each recognized the places in our lives where something felt out of alignment. Perhaps one of these speaks to your own journey, too. Remember, you are not alone.

“It’s only by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life.” — Joseph Campbell

What might become possible when we allow ourselves to truly listen—to ourselves, to one another, to the land, and to the greater knowing that lives beyond our conscious mind?

What happens when we slow down long enough to notice what wants to shift—and begin planting seeds for the change we desire to see?

This month, I invite you to circle with my dear friend, Amanda, a former clown with Cirque du Soleil, myself, and the other Wildflowers as we gather under the  New Moon in Libra.

Potluck begins at 6:00 PM

Libra reminds us that balance and harmony aren't destinations we arrive at and maintain. They are an ongoing practice of listening, noticing, adjusting, and coming back into right relationship—with ourselves and with one another.

And with Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, moving retrograde through Scorpio, this New Moon invites us to go deeper than simply finding harmony or keeping the peace.

There is something beneath the surface asking to be felt, seen, and transformed.

This is an invitation to look honestly at the ways we love, connect, and relate.

Are you willing to surrender into the hands of life and allow it to guide and support you beyond what you can imagine?

Under the Harvest Full Moon in Aries, the Wildflowers were ready to lean fully into circle—and into the fullness of their truest selves.

We followed the red thread to the center of the labyrinth, reflecting on what has changed in us since the Aries New Moon in April.

So many Wildflowers shared that they feel like totally different beings, and could see themselves stepping into seeds they planted five months ago.

What are you seeing now that you couldn’t see before?

This question led us into what we were ready to release under this Aries ignition point.

We released the threads of what once kept us safe so we could ignite a new path forward:

Does this sound like you—before, during, or after a life transition?

You can feel a wildflower version of yourself beginning to emerge...

A deeper version of yourself.
A fuller embodiment of who you are capable of being.
An inner longing to trust yourself more fully.
A devotion and courage to living your one wild and precious life.

What if this transition isn’t asking you to become someone new, but inviting you to uncover more of who you already are?

And now I’m wondering...

What is the next version of you that you desire to step into?

Most of us are wrapped in an invisible web we keep spinning to hold ourselves together.

To follow the rules.
To be good.
To get it right.
To keep our shit together.

We can become so afraid of being messy, making the wrong choice, or not knowing what comes next that we stay busy instead.

We fix everyone else's problems.
We consume.
We scroll.
We keep doing all the things that make it look like we're okay.

All the while, something inside of us may be whispering—or screaming—this isn't working anymore.

And what if the very messiness we are trying so hard to avoid is actually where some of our greatest medicine lives?

What if the words we spoke and the ways we moved through the world were held in the knowing that all that we do is sacred?

I wonder what our world would be like if we each responded from the sacredness of our own being.

The Virgo New Moon gave us grounding support to remember that our lives are constantly being transformed by the tiniest choices we make.

Our everyday choices are reflections of what we value, what we are devoted to, and what is happening within us.

Our bodies know more than we sometimes realize.

"So much of the conflict we feel in our hearts is because we've split ourselves off from the very life we are living... so much of what makes us unhappy is our own rejection of the life we have made."  ~ Toko-pa Turner

Are you willing to do the work to embrace your life and your wholeness? 

"Work is love made visible.” ~ Kahlil Gibran

Thank Goddess for giving us a Virgo New Moon to ground us back into reality after all the releasing and shedding of the Eclipse portal!

I am still feeling the emotions moving through me, and I’m grateful to have the Wildflower Circle to deepen my intimacy with who I am now, on the other side. And even when it isn’t clear yet, I am practicing trusting the divine unfolding.

This earthy support of the Virgo New Moon invites us to continue refining and honing our discernment muscles.

But if left unchecked, discernment can turn into criticism, perfectionism, and judgment of ourselves—keeping us stuck in the endless loop of “not enough” and “not doing it right.”

And all that overthinking can disconnect us from our ability to receive what we truly want and need.

You were never meant to navigate every threshold alone.

There are moments in life when the path we’ve been walking no longer feels like ours.

A relationship ends.
A career shifts.
The kids leave home.
An identity falls away.
Something we once wanted no longer fits.

Or maybe there’s simply a quiet knowing deep inside that says, there has to be more.

These thresholds can be tender, messy, disorienting, and beautiful all at once. And while we’re often taught to figure it out, push through, move on, and find the next answer...

What if you didn’t have to do any of it alone?

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

 New Moon in Leo & Solar Eclipse Wildflower Circle

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.
