We Are the Rainbow Tribe

Full Moon Greetings ~

When I was 13 years old I read a Native American prophecy that deeply imprinted my being and shaped who I was and how I wanted to live my life.

In the book The Quest, by Tom Brown Jr., four signs were given by a Native American elder that would signify the destruction of the Earth if mankind did not change its ways and restore harmony for the Earth and all beings.

The coming of the third sign, the "night of the bleeding stars," meant that we had passed the tipping point and life on Earth as we have lived it would come to an end. At that point the "children of the Earth" must run away to the wild places and live in harmony with the Earth while everything else was destroyed.

My mantra became "when the sky turns red, we shall run."

And I watched for the signs. When I was twenty I had a vision of red clouds billowing towards me. I heard horrific wails and saw billions of suffering souls at the bottom of the cloud formation. I was petrified. Rising higher up in the clouds the images and energy shifted and morphed into layers upon layers of diverse energetic forms. At the top I saw beautiful, soft hues and multitudes of angelic and celestial beings.

My fear melted away as I realized that I was seeing the vast spectrum of human emotions and experience, and that this many layered reality was all one. The dark and the light...it was all God/Goddess. My heart opened. There is no separation, creation is brilliant, and it all is okay.

The vision left me with many spiritual insights, and a loud and clear call to service. Although the sky had turned red and our planetary condition was not getting any better, I experienced a fierce sense of hope. We are all in this together and the intensity of our plight is an integral part of our evolution. Each and every one must do our part to help.

Another Native American prophecy is calling now - the Prophecy of the Rainbow Tribe.

"When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the rainbow."

And we are coming together - the rainbow tribe. There is so much to heal to restore harmony on our planet. There is so much to forgive. There are so many wrongs to right. And our prayers and actions are powerful.

This weekend we journey to South Dakota to join in prayer to right wrongs committed many generations ago to this land's native tribes. We will participate in a Ceremony of Apology and Forgiveness, and celebrate the uniting of hearts and hands for the restoration of our Earth.

We invite you to join with us in this prayer. Even if you cannot be at The Unity Concert in person, please take some time to light a candle and connect with the Rainbow Tribe in the spirit of restoration and healing. I

f you feel called, create your own ceremony of apology and forgiveness. The Hawaiian healing process called ho'oponopono is a wonderful resource for clearing deep wounds. Ho'oponopono means to make right. It is traditionally used to make things right with the ancestors, or with the people in your life.

Practice: Forgiveness Ceremony
Feel the places in your body that hurt when you reflect on a specific situation or dynamic. Stay with the feelings as you say the following four statements with enthusiasm:

  • I love you.
  • I'm sorry.
  • Please forgive me.
  • Thank you.

Continue until the distressful feelings are alleviated and you feel at peace.

Blessings on the path,

Full Moon Medicine ~ Your body does not lie

Dearest sisters,

It is the Full Moon in Capricorn and we are exactly halfway through 2014.

We began this potent year with the New Moon in Capricorn and many of us created intentions and resolutions to guide us for the cycle to come.

Let us take a moment and reflect…are you in alignment with your resolutions?

Evenly more importantly, are you in alignment with who you are? Are you expressing your unique flavor of radiance?

Let us pause for another moment. Settle into your body. Take a breath and invite the answers to come not from your mind, but from the feelings and sensations of your heart and embodied knowing.

From this place bring into your awareness the various aspects of your life: relationships, family, career, self-care, spiritual practice, community, service… Pay attention to the sensations in your body. Notice any tensions that arise.

Your body does not lie.

Let it inform you of the areas in your life in which you are still playing small and avoiding the truth of your heart.

Sisters, let’s get real. We all know that playing small is so out of style. So why do we still allow those voices, patterns, and beliefs to keep us limiting ourselves? Why do we allow the patriarchy’s expectations of us to call the shots?

We are learning to stand in our power. We are deconstructing the paradigm of power that has molded us for 5,000 years so that standing in our power does not mean power over anyone or anything else. Standing in our power means contributing fully in our own way to this dance of life, with our unique flavor of radiance, our unique medicine offering, in service to the upliftment of the whole. Our rays of light join with all the other rays of light to create the most beautiful, magical, healing light show that is beyond our wildest dreams.

Can you feel that? Capricorn helps us to hold the vision for where we are going, and commit ourselves to the steps it will take to get there.

We are in it together.

Let us invite the energy of this luminous Full Moon to clear the cobwebs from our energy fields so that we can feel the truth of our hearts with confidence and clarity. May we step forward with passion and purpose to co-create healing for our planet.

Blessed Be!

Full Flower Moon The Delicious Fruits of Beltane

Rise women! Rise sacred feminine! I am not afraid. I welcome you. I am at your service.

- the Divine Masculine


The healing of the masculine and the feminine is the work of our time.  

Last weekend, we embarked on our Medicine Path of the Priestess Women’s Beltane Retreat fully aware of the enormity of our undertaking. We knew the intentions we were working with would stir us deeply. As women, we have immense trauma from our experience with men, both from this lifetime, and in our collective memory of thousands of years of patriarchal persecution.

As a community of women, we told our stories, we held each other, and we wove a tapestry of our collective experience in a female body.

We knew that in order to truly heal with the masculine and open to the experience that we profoundly desire with men, we must first let go of the deep-rooted residues of fear and oppression that we hold within ourselves.

The great mystic Lucia Renee talks of the roles of women and men in these paradigm-shifting times: “At this moment, women are being asked to stand in their power. Not to stand against something, not even to stand for something, but to stand in the energy of the Divine Feminine, an alignment where the polarity of for and against comes to rest.”

We must unplug ourselves, energetically, from the grid of patriarchy that exists within us as a result of our social conditioning. We must emerge like grass, and stand in our feminine power.

And for the men Lucia says, “At this moment, men have a very different task: to reclaim the energy of the heart, to honor women while they do their sacred work, and to process their response to the crescendo of female power.”

With this intention, we welcomed a few sacred men on the final day of our retreat to hold our prayer with us. The men were given the task of preparing the land for our Beltane Maypole Ritual, as well as the invitation to make an offering to the women and our sacred work.

The Divine Masculine showed up with the radiance of the sun and met us beyond our wildest expectations.

They guided us into an experience of being completely held, honored and cherished as the powerful feminine. We began at the Beltane fire where we were invited to burn a root, representing the release of the roots of fear within us that were already dead and simply needed to be dug up and burned. Yes.

They held a safe space for us and spoke tender words, and the tears flowed from our eyes and our hearts opened wide as they led us on a journey of receiving. In these men, we experienced healthy, balanced masculine energy.

We gave back to them in song, dance, and abundant blessings. In our unconditional exchange, we wove threads of trust, healing and respect.

We danced together in joy and love, and our lives were forever changed. 

I am grateful beyond words for this past moon cycle and the deep study of the healing of the masculine and the feminine, both inside of us and in the world. And on this delicious Full Moon as we celebrate Lunar Beltane, may we honor all that we our healing and transforming in our own lives and for humanity as a whole.

May our hearts guide us and may we rejoice in the fruits of our devotion and love.

Blessings of the Goddess ~
