Stewards of Cycles

During my recovery from surgery, a cherry blossom tree kept appearing in my meditations.

At first, it was growing inside my heart and I saw myself sitting beneath it.

Then, others began to gather around it. We interlaced hands in a circle, forming something living and connected around the trunk.

And then yesterday morning, something shifted.

It was meant to be a celebration of life, but what it became was an initiation back into my own frequency.

That day, something profound shifted.

Earlier that morning, a situation arose that could have easily pulled me i…

3 Lessons from 11 Years of Leading nOMad

Dear Ones, 

This month, nOMad turns 11 years old. 

It’s hard to put into words what this journey has meant — not only for me personally, but for all of us who’ve walked this path together. When I first envisioned nOMad, I didn’t have a detailed plan — only a deep, intuitive knowing that I wanted to create spaces where people could heal, transform, and remember who they truly are.

Looking back, these 11 years have been a true shamanic journey of leader…
