Photo: Stacy de la RosaIt's only been a week since returning from my road trip down to Big Sur, California, where I gathered with 20 soulful women at Esalen Institue for a Shamanic Painting workshop lead by the one and only Pixie Campbell. I have so much I want to share about my experience, so full of beauty and transformation, and I promise I will come back to it later this week in a follow up post.

Roots: a base or support, an essential part or element; the basic core, a primary source; an origin, the condition of belonging to a particular place or people
"If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people."
--Thich Nhat Hanh

Wings: to cause or enable to fly or speed swiftly along, to pass over or through, to carry or transport by or as if by flying
This lovely creature sat on my fingers for a brief time, I marvel at the wings, the nicks and tears tell a story and makes them all the more endearing.

Okay. I am beyond excited to announce this event, one very special to my heart. A teaching collaboration between four close friends, a dream hatched in a noodle house in Port Townsend a few years back, now manifesting into reality with the help of our friends (you know who you are, thank you for helping make this dream come true).

Layton, Utah
Three days of classes - one day with each instructor, Misty Mawn, Judy Wise, and Katie Kendrick, and an evening class with Stephanie Lee that includes dinner.
I told you it was pretty exciting! Go here to get all the juicy details!
My darling Katie... At this time of year, in Minnesota, the Monarchs are converging, gaining strength for migration. I've planted specifically for them (my garden has grown so much since you saw it!) anyway, I always think of you when my world fills up with butterflies! Xx Alex
