Thank you, Maud, for all of this. For the Alexander Technique, acupuncture, and the great book recommendations. Sometimes we get so stuck in our own narrow focuses -- focii? -- that being jostled away from the tried and true is just what we need.
Cherishing my connection to you and the circles of caring you post. Still in disbelief about current state of politics, having worked my lifetime to offer something better. Druids sound good, but do they now embrace a feminine presence? My limited reading suggests another order of guys in robes. Blessings to you and your beloveds.
I am by nature and from experience averse to spiritual proselytizing of any kind! You do you! And to speak to your question: from what I've seen of AODA, they are radically inclusive (and overtly neo-pagan rather than attempting to replicate historical practice). Their current leader is a woman.
So good to read you again, now I happily have soup on my mind…I am starting to do my own ancestor “lab” at my substack, and i actually feel like thinking about my ancestors gives me anchor right now. ⚓️🙏🏼✨

I'm so glad the jostling is welcome. Thanks so much for reading, Lisa!
I'm glad your mother and stepfather are safe! And thanks for the recipes--I see a galette in my future.
Oooh let me know what you think if you try it Geeta!
Thanks for sharing your practices to stay present and grounded. That is the aim right now!❤️
It IS the aim! Thanks for reading, Juliet! ❤️

So glad to hear that!!!!! And I'm a great believer in the Sacred Grove. I feel about trees the way many people feel about pets.
So grateful for your mention, so grateful for our work together. It is sacred to me, and sacredness cannot be hurried.
Your teaching and understanding are wonderful gifts, Kate! Thank you for all that you do. <3
