Why I Created Sacred Rhythms: A Year of Nature's Wisdom

Spirit leads the way to more grace, ease, and joy, even in difficult times.

In March 2025, the world seemed to be going insane. Fascism was rising around the globe, giving many people "permission" to be the most awful version of themselves. Hate and division were literally flying through the air. Climate change was making an impact around the world. Everything felt so heavy.

I was feeling this push to create something to help people to ground, to reconnect with nature and with their own spiritual guidance. I wanted something that was accessible to anyone, regardless of where they were in the world, their spirituality, or their shamanic experience. That meant something online, but I wasn't sure what or how yet. Then I got a call from my friend Rose De Dan, and she had the idea for a year long, on demand program collaboration and I knew it was the right thing.

On the surface, it looks very light, even frivolous. It seems irresponsible to spend time reading a story about urban nature, or watching videos of the local wildlife when the world is burning. It might feel difficult to find focus to do a shamanic journey to meet with Chickadee, and it might even feel irrelevant.

The truth is different though. We have kept it ligh in ways. That was intentional. It's meant to be a soft space to land when the world feels too hard. This is a place to decompress, to come back to center, to soothe and relax your nervous system. This is a place to replenish your energy, restore your faith, to remember there's still beauty in the world. That's worth a lot in this world right now, but that's just the beginning.

There are layers to Sacred Rhythms. Yes, you can come and listen to the music and do the puzzle to release the stress of life. But there's more here, too. At first glance, the wildlife story may seem just as light. But our animal friends have lessons for us, too. These are given in story form, that makes it fun and easy to digest. They have lessons to help us live with more grace and ease. To help us navigate life with more finesse. We have much to learn from our animal neighbors.

The monthly shamanic journey is where you receive personal guidance, direct from Spirit. Each month, I ask Spirit which Nature Being wants to be our guide. They come to me, and tell me how they want to work with us each month, what wisdom they want to give. I create the journey to take you to meet your Guide, to ask them for wisdom that you can apply to YOUR life, RIGHT NOW. You can repeat the journey again later, and it will be different. You will meet the same Guide, but you'll receive different guidance because your life will be different and so will your needs. The wisdom gained in these journeys can be life changing. They can give you an entirely new perspective on life. They are also very practical, and yet they are very beautiful and fun at the same time. Shamanic journey is literally transformative, and also very healing. It is where my passion is in life, and I love empowering people to receive their own personal guidance directly from Spirit.

As we journeyed through the year creating this program, every month has met the needs of the times we are in exactly. This was designed by Spirit. The March edition is a good example. As we are watching world leaders bomb others and attack human rights, we work to safeguard the future, to prepare the next generation and give them what they need.

Chickadee, too, is preparing for the next generation, gathering what is needed to support and raise their babies and carry on the family line. The monthly story gives advice on preparation. The journey takes you to meet Chickadee and receive personal guidance on singing your song even through the difficulties. Especially through the difficulties. Right now, joy is so important. Joy makes life worth living. Song and music are also energy, and Chickadee can help you find the right one to bring in the energy you need in your life right now. This song can shift the way life is going for you. It sounds wild, but it is all about the energy we're attaching to our life, and how that effects what we do and how we do it.

Sacred Rhythms is a place to remember who you are. Underneath all the stress and obligations of life. We are connected to the Earth and the nature beings around us. We are nature. Life is so busy, it is very easy to forget this. We are pulled in so many directions. We created Sacred Rhythms to help you remember. To see the beauty, to find the joy, to sing your own beautiful and joyful song.

When we reconnect to our joy, we can find our own way to share that joy with the world. And that is how we will build a world and society that works for all of us. I created Sacred Rhythms for that, to spread these ripples of connection and joy until they become the foundation of society.
