LIVE Simple and Sacred Circle, Gentle July

LIVE circle starts in TWO hours!

It is July. A peak of summer's power, when all feels bright and flourishing (and sometimes exhausting). This is a time of radiance and abundance, growth and change. It is a time when we both claim our power and when we turn our eyes to the horizon to choose our next steps.

So excited to remind you that tonight is our Live Simple and Sacred online circle celebrating the Summer Solstice. We will meet live via Zoom 7:00 central time zone, tonight, Friday, July 11th. (Meeting ID: 815 6005 8251 Passcode: 30days). Bring a candle, your current favorite goddess or gemstone, and your prayerbook for a sacred pause and ritual in community. See you soon!

This bearing witness to life's unfolding
is the heart of my practice,
the seat of my power,
the root of my creativity.
Go outside.
Sit and notice.
Watch what unfolds.
This is the life-changing magic
of daily practice,
the world-sustaining power
of noticing
and telling about it.
It is what I am here for,
to notice this life
and all its changes and gifts.
I am here
and so, too,
is the rain,
the birds,
the waiting,
the thunder.

The Power of Daily Practice...

Daily practice
helps us create space
in our own lives to thrive,
to listen and know,
to understand and grow.

Sometimes when life feels heavy and the world feels snarled with pain, daily practice is something we sacrifice, feeling as if it is an indulgence to tend to our spirits in the face of so much suffering. I find, however, that making a space for the sacred in your every day is precisely how you have enough “fuel” in your tank to be able to turn towards the suffering with open eyes, an open heart, and open hands, nourished and strong enough to reach out to others with compassion and presence. Refusing to surrender our small joys and scraps of enchantment, refusing to silence our magic or to give up on wonder, these can be some of the most powerful acts of resistance to a fragmentary culture.

And, a reminder from Mara Glatzel's Needy podcast: "Look at the day you have and see what it is doable. If it is five minutes, great. If it is ten minutes, great. Something is always, always better than nothing. This practice is a way of doing what is doable daily, keeping that priority front and center and braiding it into the messy middle of your daily life.”

Begin with what you have:
breath, body, attention.
Make a prayer with what you find:
earth, sky, wind, water.
Cast your spell with how you live:
choice, devotion, creation.

Thanks for being here!

And so, let us step
into the pause,
these countless beats
between
when we touch the infinite
and are touched by grace.

Much love,
Molly
