Gaia Wisdom Readings

I’m offering fast, fun, intuitive readings on Friday, Feb. 24th in Doylestown, PA and via Skype!

Think about it. The times may be changing, but when you’re partnering with the power of an entire planet surfing those powerful waves of change is a lot easier…and more fun!

My readings are down-to-earth, joyful, insightful, and really, really effective at helping you to get clear and unstuck about your life and work. I’ll also help you discover your own uniquely powerful partnership with the earth (our beloved Gaia), and meet the nature allies who can support you along the way.

For nearly twenty years I’ve cultivated a sacred partnership with the earth and her own spiritual wisdom, encouraging hundreds of people to do the same through my one-on-one mentoring, classes, retreats, public speaking, and writings.

Readings are 20 minutes; $35.  $10 from every Zen Den reading will be donated to HeARTs for Autism®!

I’ll be at the Zen Den in Doylestown from 7 – 10 p.m.  Zen Den Coffee Boutique is located in the Brigade Building at 20 Donaldson Street, one block off Main St. in Doylestown PA, 18901.

Or email use the Paypal button to register  and then tracie (at) alchemyfortheearth (dot) com to schedule the time for your Skype session between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. EST (GMT -5)

HeARTs for Autism® is a grass-roots, volunteer, charitable, non-profit organization of parents, kids, professionals and artists committed and inspired to use art therapeutically with ASD persons and their families, while educating the public about ASD and advocating for integrated, improved services.

From Tension to Creative Energy

Your Body’s Wild Wisdom:

Moving From Tension to Creative Energy through Stillness…

Are you feeling the rising tension creeping into our lives, too? I’m feeling it as a building intensity. Other people have been feeling it as a lack of focus, emotions up one moment, down the next, no motivation, motivating in too many directions…. Ack!

It’s like the unfinished edges of new ideas and structures are rubbing against the old paradigms still clinging stubbornly to life. Like fingernails on a blackboard, it’s uncomfortable, grating away at our awareness. Jarring us away from focusing on the dreams and intentions we’re called to create.

Ignoring it isn’t working. Thinking about it doesn’t do much either. Even meditation, prayer, and other spiritual and contemplative practices aren’t being totally effective. What’s needed is something that goes even deeper.

The truth is, the wisdom to turn this tension into creative energy lives in our bodies. It’s part of the wild knowing each of us was born with. Our bodies hold the “instruction manual” to creatively meet the energies of now. To regaining our equilibrium, focus and motivation; our sense of peace and grounding.

Well, it’s time we started reading the manual, don’t you think? The way to begin is through the still, calm center of our being. Of course, the way to the still center of our being is through not always being still (Don’t you just love paradox.)

What to expect…

• two new practices Gaia has taught me (I’ve been using them and they’re really effective!)
• sound (including lots of laughter),
• movement (that your own body will teach you),
• stillness (ahhh- deep breaths)
• deep listening (to our own wisdom, and each others)
• practicing together, (becoming a community)
• aligning with the energies of spring

What you gain…

• a new way to access your own deep, wild, wisdom whenever you choose to.
• equilibrium
• grounding
• focus
• momentum
• community

Cancellation and Refund Policy:

~In the very unlikely event that I must cancel the class series, you will receive a full refund of anything you have paid to me.

~If you must cancel, and do so at least 7 days before the first day of class, I offer a full refund of whatever you have paid for the class.

~If you cancel at the last minute, there is a 20% (of the full class price) processing fee. True emergencies are, of course, a special circumstance and I’m always willing to work with you to find a gentle, equitable solution.

~I truly want you to grow and be supported by our work together, and I try to be sure the class fits the person when you enroll. If, however, by the 6th class in the series the material isn’t working for you please notify me. In this case if a session of individual mentoring will help us to be more in tune then I’m happy to gift that to you so you can continue the series. If continuing to work together doesn’t seem to be the answer, then I’m happy to refund you the course fee minus the 20% processing fee.

 

Feel like you’re herding cats lately?

Sometimes gathering my thoughts is like herding cats. The minute I have a few neurons playing well together several others spot a squirrel and scamper off in different directions. I’m struggling … wrestling … grappling … with getting something … anything….accomplished.

 

Connecting with the clear winter evening stillness here, I expect to find the inner quiet and focus I’m seeking. Outwardly, the evening offers that hope. Soft breeze…pine trees…geese settling on a field…crisp air…brilliant blue sky tinged with gold…a day easing gently towards darkness.

 

Under the surface, though, I feel my own sense of scattered energies reflected in the surging, chaotic life happening in the places I can’t see. Sap stirs in the trees, seeds gather nutrients, water moves through rock and soil opening new pathways, continents shift on the liquid matrix of Mama Gaia, and planets and stars above us form into geometries that influence our lives.

 

Part of being in a sacred partnership with the natural world, means experiencing  seasonal fluctuations and cycles in our bodies, minds, and emotions.  Sometimes that experience is calm.  It can also be like having an uncontrollable herd of cats chasing popping popcorn in a very tiny room. Yikes!

At times like this my “to do” lists may not happen. Part of me is frustrated. Part of me is in awe that I can feel – in my deepest self – this powerful pulse of life.

 

The key to shifting this experience from frustrating to creative is to play in this energy consciously. When you intentionally shoot the rapids of a spring surge you get to aim that powerful flow in directions that you choose to go.
