Live Reflection: Community, Nature, and Creativity

In today’s spontaneous live, I shared about the beauty of gathering in community and how vulnerable it can feel to be seen while creating together. From conversations with trees and birds to noticing how nature holds us without judgment, I reflected on how connection—both human and more-than-human—helps us feel less alone.

I spoke about the ritual of simply greeting the world—sky, trees, flowers, air—and how even that small practice can ground us in belonging. Community can be found in so many forms, and when we gather to create, something magical happens.

✨ Rooted Word Circle — The Second Wednesday of Every MonthEach month on the second Wednesday at noon ET, I host Rooted Word Circle: a 30-minute guided writing ritual where we ground, write, and then weave our words into a community poem. It’s short, powerful, and open to all who want to root into presence and creativity.

📅 Next gathering: Wednesday, September 10 at 12 pm Noon ET/ 9 am PT💻 Live on Zoom | 30 minutes | $10

🌿 You can find this event—and all of my offerings—on my Buy Me a Coffee page.

I’d love to see you there. Together, we’ll create something beautiful.
