NO REPLAY for Prompted Memory: Creating a Written Legacy
Recreated as Word of the Week. Link is here.
Have you ever dreamed of writing your memoir., capturing the significant moments and memories of your life in words?
In her blog on How Are You Old?, Lezli posed this question. “What if each of us is gestating a Soul that needs the unique conditions that only we can provide? What if we are all Mothering an energetic resonance that the World needs in order to be whole (holy)?”
As we journey, we create memories of our Soul’s gestation. This is part of the legacy we leave to the World. Our legacy does not have to be in written words, but what a lovely way to weave our experiences into the tapestry of our Soul’s journey.
We begin simply. A few prompts for the words and phrases that spark the fire of remembering.
A simple and elegant practice for creating a personal legacy of your memories. A journal, a pen, and a comfortable space are all you need. Prompts provided for you. Please join us!

Deep gratitude and joy for all who showed up to celebrate Samhain and Honor A Special Ancestor (or two) …

Samhain and Ancestor Celebration with Kayce as facilitator.
With its roots in Celtic tradition, Samhain (pronounced sow - in) is considered to be a time when the veil between this world and the spirit world is thinnest. It is a time of honoring ancestors, celebrating harvest, and welcoming the dark half of the year. During our time together, Kayce will lead us in a simple celebration to honor our ancestors and welcome winter in the Northern Hemisphere. You never know what kind of magic will be inspired by our time together.
To prepare, please have handy your journal and a pen; a photo or keepsake of one or more relatives you’d like to honor, a candle, a Tarot and/or Oracle deck, and anything else you feel inspired to bring. A cup of tea and a quiet setting are most welcome too.
