Gem & Mineral Show– Sept 6, 7, 8th

As this podcast goes to air, we are going to the last New Moon of Summer. It’ in the sign of Virgo as we are in Virgo season.

Virgo energy is ruled by Earth, and Virgo season ushers in a period of transition as we move from summer to fall and feel our energy settle and refine. This period gives us a foundation to rest upon as we process the events of the past and future. It allows us to organize our lives after the chaotic burst of energy Leo Season often brings. Virgo Season brings us an opportunity to show up as that person and realize our inherent self-worth. It is a time to let go of self-doubt, perfectionism, and self-criticism as we step into our potential in this lifetime. Virgo’s energy helps us embrace our authentic self realized in Leo Season while accepting it with compassion, forgiveness, and strength.

As we journey through Virgo Season, become aware of the conditions you place on yourself for love and acceptance. What impossible level of perfectionism are you holding yourself to and why? We often feel that we have to be perfect to receive love and be worthy. Over this season, began to teach yourself that you are worthy of love, acceptance, and fulfilled dreams just as you are right now.

This New Moon sets your intentions by embracing all aspects of yourself this season. 

Come join us at Ritual + Shelter for a new Moon Light Labyrinth Meditation. Get out of your mind and ground your soul in your heart so taht you can cocreate with source the path you choice.  The event is on Tuesday, Sept 3rd. Register here.

I went out there for two reasons, one was to visit a retreat facility.. hint hint .. Reiki Master Retreat in 2025. And the other reason was to experience the Native American Corn Dances.  My quest, Kate Jenkins is who invited me out there.

So much endurance shown to me.  It touched the depth of my soul.

As Kate reminds us, Take a moment to be present to being outside. It doesn’t have to be a big thing. Tiny moments. We don’t have to be so serious all the time. Be jovial and fun. Poking fun adds life

Bring the joy and laughter into your everyday life as you connect with the Mother Earth.
