Supported Unfolding | Crystals for the Full Moon in Virgo + Blood Moon Eclipse, 3/13

"Life is to be experienced, not fought against, run from, or engaged halfheartedly. Though we may wish to make changes in the future, to be conscious is to be with an experience as it’s unfolding, rather than thinking about how we would like to change it. Taking charge of our life so that we alter the quality of our experiences in the future comes after an experience." ~Shefali Tsabary

Commonsense Almanac By Ben Commons | February 2025

“This entire thing we're involved with called the world, is an opportunity to exhibit how exciting alienation can be. Life is a matter of a miracle that is collected over time by moments, flabbergasted to be in each other's presence. The world is an exam to see if we can rise into direct experience. Our eyesight is here as a test to see if we can see beyond it. Matter is here as a test for our curiosity. Doubt is here as an exam for our vitality.” ~Timothy Levitch

Restful Devotion | A New Moon in Capricorn Ritual, 12/28

"Do not try to save the world or do anything grandiose.

Only then, will you know how to give yourself to this world so worthy of rescue. ~Martha Postlewaite
