Boozhoo - First of all let me acknowledge that I am using the word “seeds” in a broad sense of the word, hence the picture of bulbs sprouting. Thank you for indulging me. I am absurdly excited that I have signs of the seasons turning considering that up until Wednesday our driveway was still covered in snow and we had to hike down the hill in order to get to the car. I even saw the flowers just beginning to emerge on the hellebores. Be still my heart. I am not really ready for spring to begin as I still have a lot of winter dreaming to do but I it does feel so good to have the doors open and not have a fire burning today. I know this is just a little vacation and I am grateful.
I would also like to thank you for the lovely responses I have received regarding the class flyers. It feels as though the flyers are a form of seed planting as well. During the intervening months between declaring a class is happening and the actual event we spend a lot of time tending to those seeds. I find that classes are a synergistic expression of the energies of the teachers, the subject being taught and the students who wish to take the classes. There may be an idea of what the class will look like at the time the flyer is put out but that image is not static and the actual class will have shifted and grown by the time it emerges into the light. I love the little synchronicities that happen along the way e.g. finding an article to read that adds another element of understanding to the subject being taught. I totally feel the presence of spirit making itself known. That is when I know I am on the right track. We teach because we care about the things that we are teaching about and want to share our interest and excitement and since the underlying theme of what we teach is living in relationship with the worlds around us having input from spirit feels like an affirmation.
I will keep you updated about upcoming classes as the year progresses and repost the flyers as reminders of what we are doing. If there were any classes you are interested please send me a message and I will tell you how you can put down deposits to hold your space. Speaking of space I want to let you know that I had an opening come up in the apprenticeship program and at this point in time I have 2 spaces left. Here is the flyer to remind you.
I hope that you are able to enjoy the restoration and renewal of this time of the year and that you are dreaming your seeds of your future too. Take care and stay well.
