The Spiral Journal
The Spiral Journal is where our journeys are honored and remembered — one retreat, one season, one story at a time. Here you’ll find chronicles from our gatherings, reflections on the medicine path, and musings on the rhythms of earth and spirit. Just like the sacred spiral, our path is ever turning: deepening, rising, and returning to the heart. Welcome to our unfolding.

New Moon in Cancer (July 2023)
We talk a lot about the cycles of the seasons here, but seasonal alignment is not the only natural rhythm we observe. The moon and her ever changing faces is another powerful symbol to be mindful of.
