Awaken to Remember

By Kathy Casey | Published May 1, 2025

May you awaken to the Mystery of being here 

and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence. 

May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.

~~ John O’Donohue

Greetings to all my precious people!

Each year on May 1st, the ancient Celtic celebration of Beltaine calls us to awaken. Marking the threshold between Spring and Summer, it is a festival of fertility, fire, and fullness. Life bursts forth in bloom. Earth sings in birdsong and blossoms. Beltaine represents the liminal space—where the veils between the world’s thin and the invisible invites us to imagine the possibilities. Traditionally, bonfires were lit on hilltops across Ireland and Scotland to ignite passion, cleanse the old, and bless the fertility of the land and the people. The fires of Beltaine have long signaled a turning point, heralding vitality and sacred union.  continue reading »

Your Body is the Oracle

By Kathy Casey | Published April 24, 2025

There is a pattern, an order, in human bodies…

When the body gets working appropriately,

the force of gravity can flow through.

Then spontaneously, the body heals itself.

— Ida P. Rolf

Greetings to all my precious people!

The world continues to shape-shift as the chaos of rebirth and renewal unfolds. While so much of life is happening outside of us—outside our bodies, outside our control, outside our cities and countries—there is one constant truth we can rely on. We are in our bodies. We are going about our day to day lives in the original house of our birth—a body so miraculous and mysterious that we many times take it for granted.  continue reading »
