The night after Samhain always feels strange to me. Everything inside me is quiet, but it feels like a strange hush after a storm, when the air still tastes of lightning.

And this year, the silence feels weightier.

The world is shifting in ways we can’t fully name or see, and every conversation seems to circle the same unspoken question: what now? I keep thinking about how many times we’ve burned through old versions of ourselves (the identities, beliefs, and systems) and how easily the mind rushes to rebuild. And how this time, the rush won’t serve even a little bit.

So I’ve been sitting with the ashes [literally and figuratively] listening, feeling, and scribing. Today, I am sharing the first whisper that has moved through. You can listen to the transmission to anchor the initiation of your descent.

And for those ready for more intentional slowing, here into the liminal Between Fire and Seed is a five-day dream-weaving path to open you into the next season. This is an opportunity for tending the creative spark and pulse of life that only reveals itself when everything else has fallen away.

Each day offers a spoken-word transmission, a short illumination teaching, and a simple ritual to anchor your dreaming in the body. Through the elements of Soil, Bone, Seed, Water, and Flame, you’ll remember how to collaborate with the unseen forces of renewal and carry a living vow forward into your next cycle.

This is for those who know the turning has already begun and are ready to tend what’s quietly taking root.

This is a self-paced ceremonial container so that you can begin whenever you feel the call. Begin the Passage today for $22 USD. https://bit.ly/betweenfireandseed
