What abundance this spring is providing. The growth of nature, the events of the sky and the opportunities for personal, professional, and community gathering abounds. Last Saturday the Author Event at The Playful Soul was rich and full of a variety of folks seeking "something else," for a deeper understanding of life. Which is precisely what spring is all about . . . uncovering the new growth that colors the earth with richness and beauty. "Looks Far Woman" is the Clan Mother for April. She teaches us how to appreciate all the colors of life, in order to "See the Truth," all around us, especially within ourselves.
Dancing Flame Medicine Lodge invites you to check out our third Thursday of each month's Wisdom Circle. You just may find a new friend, or become a valuable friend to yourself! This gathering is open to all interested souls seeking "something else," for a deeper understanding of life. Bring an open heart, curious mind and a friend to travel with. It is a beautiful drive from the busy city to the freshly plowed fields in Morgan County. And the trees, oh my goodness, you can practically hear them unfold the sprouts of leaves! Thursday, April 18, from 6:30-8p.m we will gather to "Share a Story." It may be one you read, are writing, a poem, or experienced first-hand. What matters is taking the action to show up and find out if the Wisdom circle is the place your heart has been guiding you to. If only for one evening, give us a try. Read a bit more about the Wisdom circle on the Events page. Using the Mandala as a Compass retreat is being offered Saturday, April 20, and Saturday, June 15. This retreat is an updated one that was offered the spring of 2023, and March 16, 2024. The richness of this retreat offers attendees the opportunity to learn simple ways to find and keep balance in their lives. Of course, as with all retreats, it lasts as long as what you learned is practiced. You will leave the retreat with a personal Mandala created by and for you specifically as a useful tool. Read more about this retreat on the Community Events page. As always, contact Vicky with any questions. The deadline to sign up is April 16. If June fits better in your schedule, let us know and we'll put you down as interested. With the teachings of the seven sacred directions, we will help you find your "True North!" Here's to Feeding your Growth, and adding richness and beauty to Spring!

April has been true to its reputation and provided the inhabitants of Earth a front row seat to witness the unfolding beauty of nature. All of our senses can be used to observe this natural phenomenon. Without any actions on our part, nature does what is in rhythm with the cycles of life and offers us the opportunity to simply sit back, observe, and enjoy. There is so very much we can learn from nature, if we only “pay attention.” Perhaps all the busyness, hurry, scurry, and self-inflicted pressures we put on ourselves and others would be lightened if we simply saw nature as a powerful Teacher. Whatever is brewing in our heads will come to fruition with ease and a bit of effort on our part if we simply notice the manner in which nature unfolds. In other words, lovingly quiet that chattering head mind and listen more to the rhythm of nature as it offers a simple, peaceful way to allow life to unfold. This is how the world changes and true Growth occurs; one peaceful warrior at a time!
