Warm Greetings Everyone and Happy New Year!

Welcome, welcome 2018! We ring the gong that summons the call of unlimited possibilities, new journeys and renewed convictions for our personal and collective healing. From deep within our Winter's dreaming we sing a song of hope, the return to light and vision of our future when the Earth renews her purpose in the spring.

Now is the time when we we honor Winter, the North, the time of union with ALL THAT IS and begin co-creating our dreams of what will come personally and globally. We honor the rhythms of the Earth as in ancient pagan, animistic and shamanic cultures, and we see the truths of our personal winter. It is a time of death, a transition into transcendence.

We remember our soul's journey traveling beyond time and space to that which is beyond death. We honor our ancestors, dreaming a new dream for the times to come and from this place we remember and claim our soul’s purpose and personal sovereignty.

As we release what no longer serves, we shed our skin, and keen our grief knowing that is essential for us as we return to our most authentic self. We return as wisdom keepers, possessing better discernment, acknowledging higher truths, embracing our transcendence, our sovereignty,  with open hearts, forgiveness, humility and renewed purpose.

It's tempting to want to hurry things along. I notice personally how the way we live today insists we step out of the rhythm of the Winter. In our consumer based society, it beckons us to not seek the comforts of self care that the season provides so gracefully for us: it's darker soon thus we might come inside earlier, it's colder thus asking us to bundle up/snuggle in. If we are to return to Earth honoring practices, we dive into the call to honor Winter and acquire the wisdom of her resources. I welcome the introspection, the time for more dreams, and the ability to self nurture.

May you all honor your own rhythms in this season and get the repose you need. May the returning light bring guide you to your place in the world!

On the personal practice front, I've had the honor of working with several folks in a mentoring capacity as well as actively doing soul retrievals, private ancestor sessions and some psychopomp work in 2017. During last year, a string of beautiful revelations happened in the sacred container I hold and I am profoundly grateful for the wisdom. To be of service in a well resourced capacity with deepening connection to the forces I work with has been a gift. I readily listen to the support and nudges they give to strengthen the work, to push the edges of my growth, to be open, and to love beyond all measure. If you are in need of personal healing rituals which are in depth, I am here to offer you support in re-establishing balance and personal sovereignty in your life, strengthen your spiritual practice, remove karmic and intrusive energies, reclaim your power through dream work and waking visions and transform ancestral burdens. I am also able to take four mentees a year. I have 2 slots remaining. If you are interested in working with me this year, please reach out so that we can discuss the endeavor. You can learn more about my approaches and book a session: Personal Session and Mentoring. If you'd like to join in like minded ritual gatherings, several circles are facilitated for dreaming, New Moon ritual, and ancestral healing. You can find the details here: Monthly Offerings

Barbara Odil and I are on month 5 of our year long Spirits of the Earth Immersion. We made a commitment to walk the path of truly honoring the Earth's rhythms and the in depth honoring has provided a deep sense of connectedness and a better sense of what it is to truly be well resourced spiritually. In December we went to the North, created our personal death lodge and are fully prepared for January's Winter dreaming. Barbara and I are gearing up to open enrollment for the 2018-2019 Immersion and hope that if it calls to you, you will join us. Click here to learn more: Spirits of the Earth Immersion

In January, there is a workshop offering that is part 3 of the Alchemy of Becoming. We will gather for a day to drop deeply into our Winter Dreaming Cave where we will tend to our grief, laying it at the altar and dream of things to come. There is space for one or two and if you are interested in attending contact me at Shannon@redearthhealing.org

In February, we're returning to the the Healed Ancestral Mothers to do some supportive work around a collective ancestral wounding of the feminine. This deeply moving immersion does so much in the way of healing the way we show up in the world, in our partnerships with self, others, and collectively in community.

And most excitedly, I am happy to announce I am facilitating my first residential Ancestral Lineage Healing Retreat at Parker Ranch in Clayton GA. If you, like me, would like to get away for a few days to drop into dedicated Ancestral Healing Ritual practice, I hope you'll join me. Here's the information: Ancestral Lineage Healing Immersion

Dreaming with the Dancing Bear with Robert Moss is only a few months away. He'll be joining us on March 10th and 11th. We've a handful of space, so if you'd like to join in the offering please register soon!

Please be in touch if you have any questions about working with me or any of the offerings.

Seeing you all warm and loved in the New Year!

Shannon
