Updates from the Jungle… and launching my Substack
Dear Readers, It has been some time since I blogged here, half a year ago, and there is so much to share about that I could probably write a novel. To give a brief summary, my husband and I made a sudden move back to our land in Costa Rica, after spending the wet seasonContinueContinue reading “Updates from the Jungle… and launching my Substack”
Bird with a Broken Wing
The other day, our dog Sadie caught (and killed) a bird in the garden. Although I felt deeply saddened by the death of the bird, it was of course impossible to be angry at her. A dog’s natural instincts are to hunt and kill for food (as that is how they would survive in theContinueContinue reading “Bird with a Broken Wing”
Springtime Blessings
You light my soul, with a kind of giddy music that picks me up, and tumbles me down, on a bed of starry dreams that fell from the skies, and sprouted into blooming flowers, dressed with honey – those bees couldn’t help themselves, they just joined us with a frivolous desire to make life, thatContinueContinue reading “Springtime Blessings”
My novel Siege… now published!

Shamanic Healing… and the Shaman’s Way
I notice more and more these days, my hesitation around the word “shaman”. Even if I myself identify as being on a shamanic path. Perhaps it is because of how much I have seen this label misused; and with kind of an underlying arrogant assertion as to an individual’s power and mastery of connection toContinueContinue reading “Shamanic Healing… and the Shaman’s Way”
