I’ve seen an increasing need for safe, grounded guidance as individuals explore Animist and Traditional spiritual practices - including rituals, rites of passage and ceremony - including medicine work.

Grian-stad – the stopping of the sun, or Solstice has now passed, and so I wanted to follow up and share how I spent the time I set aside to observe this cosmic time of alignment.

There is nothing that expends more energy in a fruitless way than to get into an argument, and only much later... after a lot of exertion... discover that you are actually in agreement on the fundamentals, and have been arguing the subjective use of language the whole time...

Stepping into a commitment to actually do it... has led to some deep realizations... and some that I didn’t expect.
