A "Creature Comfort" video to affirm, inspire, give context to, and, yes, comfort your creature self as you unplug from burnout and the life of a machine and remember how to be *alive* again.

Usually I film these Creature Comfort videos outside, in the natural world. But this time, it’s a quick video from my “den” - my cozy space.

Many of us seem to have this idea that finding balance is finding some static homeostasis that doesn’t require maintenance. The tarot (and myth and other ancestral and animist wisdom traditions) reminds us there are different forms of balance, requiring different levels of maintenance and engagement. And that too much stability can actually become stagnancy.

What does this mean for the turning of the wheel of the year and seasonal cycles, specifically the Spring Equinox? What does this mean for us as a species going through a deep reckoning? This is what I share some of my thoughts on here.

(NOTE: I say in the video that it’s important to recognize, when we look at these times, that there’s nothing going wrong. I want to qualify that a bit here and make sure I’m clear - genocide is wrong. Empire is wrong. People and beyond-human kin being treated like resources to be exploited while being stripped of rights, of dignity, of life is wrong. But periods of upheaval which invite us to grapple with the results of our own (and inherited) actions and choices are not wrong. Those are natural. We’re meant to cycle through periods of quiet and periods of change.)

Whether you join me and OracleFest for Grounding the Charge or not, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Does this speak to your experience at all?

Feel free to share as a comment. I’d welcome hearing it.

And if you want to join us live on Mar 21, 2026 or find the recording later: https://oraclefest.com/grounding-the-charge/

If this spoke to you, it helps me immensely if you could take a few moments to help spread the word by liking, sharing (either publicly or with a friend), commenting back, etc <3

Coming to you direct from a dreamy new moon and mercury retrograde in Pisces, this video is not pithy. Sorry, not sorry (both my Sun and Mercury are in Pisces so you get what you get right now).

It’s an invitation to challenge where empire sneaks into wellness, spirituality, ancestral reconnection, and personal/ intuitive development spaces.

It’s a reminder that everything is relationship, not resource. That not all growth is linear and expansive. That it’s easier to break ourselves (and others) open than it is to know what to do with the fruitful discomfort of unbecoming.

But knowing what to do with the light that enters through the cracks, with the seismic shifts that want to uproot and upend us, is key to staying human. To making something of beauty with our lives. To letting our experiences - “good” and “bad” - become medicine for ourselves and the world.

A few weeks ago during the lunar eclipse, I “saw” a pattern that was playing out in my life more clearly than I’d been able to articulate it until then. I could feel that the frequency of the pattern was a better fit for the light waves of a shadowy moon. That particular type of light was necessary to get the clarity I needed.

A couple of days ago, I heard that a company in the U.S. is petitioning the FCC to launch mirrored satellites into space - enough of them to be capable of lighting up the dark side of the planet. They’re calling it solar-on-demand and claiming it will solve our energy crisis because we could power solar farms and light cities and streets at night, with as much light as three full moons.

To live in a creature body is to be responsive to the natural world. And light is one of those elemental Holy Beings who wears different faces at different times and carries different teachings, challenges, and supports depending.

What do we lose if we attempt to homogenize ourselves into perpetual, controlled light?

Those are some of the musings I unpack a bit more in this video.

What do you think?

P.S. Embodying a New Paradigm is a new monthly gathering I’m offering to bridge our inner work with the outer work these times are asking of us. It’s a place to tend to where we’ve internalized the same forces that seek to sever us from our creature selves and benefit from us trying to live like machines. We’ll explore tending to this internalized empire so we can find our way back to our creature selves and embody that on a deeper level - sending loving kindness out into a hurting, lost, and confused world. Join us? https://www.wildsacredjourney.com/embodying-a-new-paradigm

P.P.S. I’m continuing to work on the Living as Creature, Not Machine course. It’s a process of letting it show me what it wants to become and it’s taking it’s time.
