aiming to refit into service.. the well-loved and broken.. using beautiful patches
Just finished witnessing a wonderful session with Heather Plett speaking at the 2022 Kaleidoscope Conference, online this morning, on the first day of three. I’ve taken the foundations course at Heather & Krista’s Centre for Holding Space,...

I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Not contacting folks or going out much. In the meantime, I’m doing just fine here, our heat works well, we have a lot of blankets on our beds, lots...
When one lives a spiritual life, the emotions seem only one cm away, just as the light of Spirit is just one cm from conscious thought. In the glimmer of a thought, I can be...
As my sixtieth year on this Earth comes to pass, I’ve been reflecting on almost everything. I’ve been mourning lately. It’s been difficult to put my finger on what I’ve been feeling. Surely, it’s been...
My word for 2020 is Regulate. While I’m able to do so many more things this year, I’m doing and trying out so much. I confess it’s really hard to remember everything. I’m eager to...

These days, we are making sense of things after climbing out of a deep sleep, post-pandemic.
Our bodies feel anxious about the rise of fascism and evidence of roiling climate crises at every turn.. and so, as we increase our conscious awareness, it’s important to increase connection, each in our own local communities and become fluent with our channels for mutual aid.
Attempting to maintain control through all this uncertainty is a normal response, though it’s likely to feel triggered and confused.. do relax and feel into whatever comes up, and know it is normal in urgent times like these.. reach out to loved ones, let them know they can count on you, and allow them to be there for you, too……
I’m over here in Vancouver Canada, picking up the pieces of my shattered life. I find it helpful to use writing (journaling) and making things, listening to the land and feeling into my ancestors and reclamation as therapy to work through (and hopefully beyond) post-concussion symptoms.

As always, I would love to hear from you.. the usual channels, or by email at hitrish @ gmail .com ❤️
