nOvember
…this mOnth was pretty focused around making these mOOnMAPS. After spending the fall trying to figure out how to complete some projects, dive into learning opportunities i’ve been craving, keep up with the dOgs AND connect with all the people i lOve….
i wanted to create a guide on how the mOOn inspires us to mOve, teaches about prOcess with patience and invites us to be present with both the light and the shadOws.
a simple check in on the journey to confirm WE ARE HERE wandering these PHASES tOgether🌀
Exploring the pace in between reflectiOns inspired these MAPs that lead to all of the MAGICs i have found while mOving with the rhythm of the moon.
2 designs came to life:
SISTERS of wandering PHASES_ _ X
finding design in the DARKNESS and revealing MAGIC in the negative spaces with LIGHT
every adventure hOlds:
a blank scrOll for nOtes, affirmations, sketches, lOveletters
a LEGEND as a key to each MAP design
a little labradorite for LUCK while wandering
✨
the becOming of this prOject has been a dance
🩵♾️💙
spinning a plan to step intO the future as the wanderer
the treasure seeker, the gOddess
☀️🌙
✨i probably spend 1-2 hours with each MAP
✨it took a while & a lot of patience creating the stencils of the mOOn’s predicted path thru 2026 while building an ONLINE EXPERIENCE to connect (mOOn MANTRA affirmatiOns, mOments of reflection &mini~mOvements for each PHASE).
✨cut from double gauze organic cottOn fabric. this light, timeless texture can be kept easy in a pOcket, is perfect for a pirate keeping stOries, easily referenced at sea or while wandering mountains. used as a guide, an altar for the treasures collected on any adventure OR hung it as a reminder to PRACTICE.
✨i paint only a few MAPS at a time. the chemical combo has to be done in a dark space aaaand TURNS EVERYTHING BLUE FOREVER if you are not careful.
✨the fabric has to be COMPLETELY dry before prOcessing (usally takes at least 1 day to be ready).
✨then IN A DARK SPACE the stencils, flOwers, treasures are placed and pressed before exposing to SUNlight
…for about 15 minutes.
✨the rinsing step is pretty important as the dye will continue to process if not clear.
✨ then, hung to dry flat in order to repeat the PAINT/DRY/PROCESS/RINSE again on the other side.
✨when the second side is complete the side lOOps ribbion are sewn in
✨the LEGEND, scrOlls & a treasure complete each guide before setting sail on the jOurney _ _ _ X
🌒THIS BATCH OF 2026 mOOn MAPS WAS CREATED UNDER A WAXING CRESCENT MOON
the mOments can really get away… 🌀 i am so grateful for the practices and daily grounding routines that keep me in flOw so I can step into each the season w/intention.
…& intO the next prOject as a new mOnth begins tomorrOw 🌀
OCTOBER mOOn
this seasOns FULL mOOn felt HEAVY to me.
REALLY invited me to celebrate my suppOrt systems and lean intO what seems to be calling me next.
in order to step intO the future tho i had to put a few things dOwn…which is the HARDEST thing EVER for me.
nOthing invites you back to center from a slight spiral of ungroundedness like sticking to a practice schedule that keeps clear intentions, makes mirO~mOtions tOwards grOwth and reminds you to be PRESENT.
fOr these rOOts i am GRATEFUL.
Tuesday Thai Yoga Massage
What is Thai yoga massage?
A Thai Yoga Massage stimulates pressure points to open the body's energy pathways and allows the body to heal. It's a more active type of massage with different yoga poses which allow for a deeper stretch. Often described as having yoga done TO you, Thai Yoga massage is practiced on a mat wearing comfortable clothing for optimal movement.
In my bodywork practice I focus my offering on Thai Yoga massage sessions every Tuesday. I look forward to the weekly migration to the matt to rediscover positions and postures that give us access as w

What are you doing to keep well this season of transition?
for many a combination of fall and an eclipse season is enough to derail
I recently finished my first required reading for my HYTT certification and would recommend it to anyone looking to check in with yourself and start the year out with some positive perspective. I feel like it is my theme for 2023 and I am looking forward to where this spark leads.
This month I am focusing on GROUNDING and will be theming my energy and movement sessions around roots and balancing BEing present within ourselves and our communities. I am in great need of a check in myself before I can fully embark on the year ahead. I feel like we all could use a little healing and protection from negative energy in our homes so I look forward to sharing a few self~LOVE practices for our inner & outer spaces on Wellness Wednesdays.
I hope you are taking some time to look up at the sky and breath in that crisp birch moon energy.
That it inspires & enchants you to feel the magic.
Inhaling gratitude for all that has come before…exhaling anything you can let go of…BEginining again new~

it seems that the turn to a new year is often marked by an assessment of the past year, an updated inventory of goals, and a new focus plan for the journey ahead. while i do often benefit from any available inspiration to motivate towards movement and growth if it can work for you…even if only for short term, i also sometimes struggle with expectations.
as a bodyworker i find myself approaching the
i am taking my soap notes in & short list/in no particular order + a schedule on how i migth be able to bring those to life

I am going to take the MONTH to think about this &make space for what a list of goals &recommendations of areas to explore in a bodywork:life analogy. Perhaps there is inspiration to integrate some new practices or adjust some existing to help create these opportunities?
