Autumnal blessings Shaahayda!

At the moment I am in Vilnius, not my usual forest in Nida, and I will miss the burning of the reed sculptures in Amber Bay tonight. My heart hankers for the ritual, dance, music and fire inspired by the legends and totems of the Curonian Spit. But here I am, in a bland hotel room, waiting to speak at a conference. So I turn my attention instead to the sacred nature and ritual of work.

I hear you about wanting to get closer to the landscape. I recently watched this documentary on Marija Gimbutas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjE2-H1R9Zs and I took such comfort from the nature rituals described. It gave my soul a place to rest.

All my best, Kristina.
