You are searching for your tribe, for people who truly understand you and the way you interact with the world. You keep searching for connections who are able to fill you up, love you the way that you love them, and not leave you depleted. For you it’s easy. You’re an empath and the only thing louder than another person’s unrealized emotions is the echoing of all the responsibilities. You pride yourself in being a master of spinning plates. You give out of reaction. You have been told that you are too much. You feel too much. You dream too much. So you walk through life making unconscious choices that let you shrink; let you slip into a role of being that is bite-sized and palatable; easy to digest. You keep finding yourself with an ever growing list of To-Do’s as you say yes to yet another endeavor, whispering, “I can catch up on sleep later.” You are running on fumes and there are moments where you just want to numb; just want to turn off the feeling, the knowing… and just be. I see you. All of you. And you are wholly welcome here as we get Rooted in Being. I am looking for *three* people to guide on this 9-week journey of discovery and grounding; a program designed through close work and training with author and spiritual teacher, Ora North.

White text reads: Snowflake rev. joyful I don’t know how you are formed, but I have heard it said that no two of you are ever alike. There is an unmistakable beauty in how you fall, like silent slow dance. I could watch you forever in the soft yellow light, hanging onto the eyelashes of the ones I love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6122d98261b714478bca517d/6e08ccc5-f4b0-4df8-9e7f-0bb3f490ef90/The+Great+Expanse.JPG Poetry - Thoughts on Love Background image is a person holding a smoke flare. Smoke is pouring out creating a cloud. In the background near the horizon is a bright setting sun. The sky grows darker and stars peak through the night sky. White text: The Great Expanse Love is a delicious ache. Like being pulled simultaneously, in every direction. Finding new areas to grow and expand. Love is the Universe’s manifest destiny. There is nothing else. - rev. joyful https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6122d98261b714478bca517d/2289492e-9e84-460d-bd18-b6302bc41458/Pilgrimage.PNG Poetry - Thoughts on Love Pilgrimage You are a holy place that I approach on my knees begging to worship -rev. joyful https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6122d98261b714478bca517d/109c5adf-beb5-4b81-9147-93f3860fa5bc/Sunshine.JPG Poetry - Thoughts on Love Background image is an aerial view of dark, puffy clouds wrapped in the light of a golden sunset. White text reads, “I think the sky looks cool over there, don’t you?” And I did. But far greater than a sunset interrupting the arguments of angry clouds were the belly laughs bottled inside the car I only bought because of you. I remember the day you were born… I continue to celebrate it like it was the first day I ever felt the sunshine. - rev. joyful
