Beloved Friends,
How is your heart faring in this turn of season? Family, friends, prayers, rest, flurry, light, darkness, reflection, renewal, releasing, reviewing, revising, reinvigorating…it can be a rich time of transformation and intention.

Thursday, December 21st…is the deadline to RSVP for the Men’s Group that will be starting in January.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22nd – 5 PM Mountain Time (12 AM Saturday UTC) – a Men’s Circle introductory Zoom! – if you’d like to meet with me and potentially some of the men who will be part of this circle, please email me for the zoom link.

Oh, in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll be facilitating a Men’s Circle focused on tending the relationship with the Divine Feminine. It will be a series of 9 gatherings, one per month, starting January 3rd. Contact me directly if you want more info. 

Saturday, December 23rd – Chant and Pray – 7 PM Mountain (2 AM UTC) – Unity Church (1401 W Vine Dr, Fort Collins) – $15 to $30 suggested – Zoom Here!  

Then…I’m disappearing into personal retreat time until New Year’s Eve!
