Roothaven- A sanctuary of love, peace, and space to feed our blooming souls and create the moments of our lives. This is where I live, with my family of beautiful souls. So much has happened in the past few months of our big move into our beautiful energetic space. Our mission was to come together and create a sustainable, earth conscious home full of love. What does this mean? It means we collect spring water from wild springs, come together and make dinner for one another, we cry and share our lives, we smash our fingers when hammering our homemade chicken coop, we lose a cat to the coyotes, we raise 10 baby chickens, we do yoga, we eat a lot of honey, we listen to music and we learn how to harvest psychedelic cacti such as the Native Indigenous cultures did to connect and listen to Nature and to elevate consciousness, we find a deer who sacrificed her life after being hit by a car and we take it, process it and feel her energy through our bodies as we sharpen our twigs and roast it over the fire loving and appreciating every moment of her precious life, we learn from each other, we grow with each other and we have no idea what is going to happen next. To some this may be crazy to us this is life. We are enjoying the wild life and living simply bringing us abundant happiness. These are the moments of our lives and I am exactly where I need to be right now. It's funny to be so excited of the smell of horse salve when visiting the local feed store to collect straw because it reminds me of when I was a child. That I have gone back to my roots and that I am doing everything I went away from for a long time. All we have is this earth to love and to take care of and there are so many of us walking asleep. WAKE UP. There is no search for what we should be. We ARE. We are here to nourish our bodies, to cherish the Earth and give thanks to all She does and to respect everything living. I am finding more and more people who are joining together to start communities so that we may come together and make things happen. To share. Ever wonder why everyone before us traveled in tribes? CommUNITY. Everyone had their role and they did what they needed to do to survive. Now we get sidetracked like robots missing the whole point of our mission and mechanically operating through society very much asleep and told not to dream. DREAM, DREAM! and know that your dreams are reality. The saying ' back to reality' is a fallacy. Whenever you experience something so great that your body feels alive and energy is surging through your veins such that you feel like you are in a full body orgasm then embrace it, feel it, love it, know that this IS the moment. The moment of shift and it is NOW. Ahhhh feels good doesn't it? Now is the moment so what is happening right now? Well, we know Mother Nature is powerful and she is the love of our life but at any given moment can use her powers to balance herself out again. Japan has experienced great tragedy and we are all here loving you and sending our blessings. This brings up a lot of fear in people and for some ignorance. Yes, we can ignore the fact that it hasn't happened here in our home. But it is happening because we are all ONE. True it is life and no matter what geniuses we have on this planet The Mother will always prevail and be more powerful. How do we work with her? What do we do as a collective community to join forces and love her with our hearts utilizing what she offers us? We take and take and take and what do we give back? Where is the balance? We need to get back to basics. Back to simplicity. I feel as if we believe that we will have abundance always and the water we drink, flush our toilets with, brush our teeth with, the cars we drive around fueled by oil, the paper we use to write notes on, the food we buy wrapped up in plastic and then put in more plastic and perhaps even mounted in Styrofoam. These resources will not be here in abundance forever. WE need to shift our consciousness, become aware and connect back to the very essence of our being. Every morning walk outside barefoot and feel the dew on your feet, close your eyes and feel the power of the Earth rise through you connecting you back to the beauty of life. I feel as if it can be a bit overwhelming with all of these changes we need to make from the 'sleeping state' and we wonder how in the world can we get to that point? Just know that you can do it. You can. Be it whatever it is you can start doing wherever you are at-growing your own garden, feeling the soil, seeing your food grow and appreciating every nourishing bite as it feeds your physical body and heightens your mental clarity. Find a spring near you and collect your water from the source or choose a family member or friend to help you out and trade them for something. Create a bartering system with your neighbors, your friends, your co-workers. Eat with your hands. Use candles for light, we all need more fire in our lives. Build a fire outside and gather round with loved ones. POTLUCKS!-such a beautiful way to share life and food together. Use a wash tub in your kitchen sink to continually use for dishes and then use the water to water your plants! Use earth derived products ie soaps, toothpastes, shampoos etc. Anything that goes into your body or on your skin needs to be something you would eat. Skin is your largest organ and breathes, do not not suffocate it with chemical laden products and poison is no good for our Mother. Go outside and find wild food! Ground yourself, get creative and think outside 'the box'. Share what you are doing with everyone you meet and plant seeds so that each one of us can grow and blossom sharing our love and shifting towards a bright light in harmony. I am grateful and honored to have this life and want us all to unite so our massive energy can feed our Mother and give her the nourishment she has so lovingly given to us. Respect yourself, respect the ground you walk on, respect every living organism in your presence. Compassion and grace.
Much LOVE to all of you...Peace and Blessings~
