Volunteers
My vision is that a team will emerge that will continue sharing leadership for an ongoing group. If you’d like to be part of that team, you’ll be asked to take on one of the following roles during this series.
Opening and closing ritual: Choose readings, print out cards for participants, assign roles and give any instructions for the start and end. (optional: consider a theme and bring related…

Earth-Spirit Series Week 5 - Happy Summer Solstice!
Earth-Spirit Series Week 5 – Happy Summer Solstice!
As we reached the longest day of the year, we finished our series of workshops with a Summer Solstice celebration, also known as Litha. We opened up our regular group to include friends and family, extending our celebration into the wider community.
A joyous evening was spent with circle dancing, circle casting, magical herb pouch making and feasting! With gratitude to Mother Nature for her…

Earth-Spirit Series Week 4
Earth-Spirit Series Week 4
This week we made magical wands to focus and extend our energy into the world! Last week we were instructed to find a branch that felt right to us, roughly the length between our elbows and our index fingers. There was a beautiful range of branches including those from willow and apple prunings, amongst those found in local parks and gardens.
After our usual check in and snacks table, we…

Earth-Spirit Series Week 3
Earth-Spirit Series Week 3
This week we learnt a little about the phases of the moon and how she travels through the signs of the zodiac. During our workshop, the moon was almost at waxing crescent in the sign of Leo, filling the room with a creative warmth.
New Moon in Leo
We split into groups and decided on an intention we’d like to manifest. We selected fabric, objects, herbs, images and symbols that would ‘draw…

Earth-Spirit Series Week 1
Earth-Spirit Series Week 1
A beautiful evening shared with a group of beautiful women. We’re so happy to have connected with an amazing group of likeminded souls – thanks for joining us and we were really blown away by the creativity of each group! It was great to see how naturally everyone connected with the sabbats, leading us to think that a deep connection with the seasons is innate to our human nature.
Some photos…

After Images from DOXA
After Images from DOXA
For the fourth year, I volunteered at DOXA: Documentary Film Festival. Contributing 24 hours of volunteer time, one gets a pass to see as many screenings as you can possibly fit in. In my case, that was 20. More if you count the “shorts” as separate films. I’m sure the film makers would want them counted separately, so make that 30.
On Sunday, the final day, I went home after my volunteer shift.…

Fake Nooz? Incomplete and irrelevant perhaps
Fake Nooz? Incomplete and irrelevant perhaps
I thought I’d weigh in on #fakenews.
I think covering an election rally when the election was several months ago is #fakenews. Or at least irrelevant, but that’s perhaps an elitist word. So I’ll be part of the hoi polloi and simply say #fakenews.
I think a news item that REPEATEDLY tells me that only 12 of the 14 leadership candidates were at the debate but spending most of the news clip on only…

#LOL - new hastag Also #progressiveswhocareabouttheconservativepartyleadershiprace
#LOL – new hastag Also #progressiveswhocareabouttheconservativepartyleadershiprace
OK, So I’m betting my proposed hashtag #LOL for Leitch and O’Leary. As in, let’s have less #LOL on my facebook feed, will be catchier than #progressiveswhocareabouttheconservativepartyleadershiprace but so far no one’s proposed something shorter that says it. I’ve rejected #progressiveconservatives as I’m #progressive but not #conservative.
But I *am* concerned about the CPC Leadership Race.…

Louise Bunn's Salon on Poetic Landscapes
Louise Bunn’s Salon on Poetic Landscapes
Louise Bunn and I will have a shared art exhibition in January at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver.
Louise is working on paintings inspired by alchemical processes and my work will be the series that I’m calling: It May Be a Sign (but what could it mean?)
I’m eagerly awaiting The First Signs by Genevieve von Petzinger about the 32 geometric signs found in caves that go back before the beautiful…
