In case you missed it, the Supreme Court recently issued some really f*cked up rulings that made homelessness illegal, removed the power of federal regulations from organizations like the EPA, and established broad presidential immunity that got our least favorite former president off the hook for his role in the January 6 insurrection.
It is a dark, dark day in the news, and the implications for our immediate and ongoing future are staggering.
Arresting houseless people and putting them into the prison industrial complex. Removing environmental protections, food safety regulations, child labor laws, worker safety laws. Granting whomever is in office unprecedented power to commit atrocities in the name of “presidential duty.”
My first thought on hearing the news was, “You’ve got to be f*ing kidding me.”
My second thought was wondering, “Where the heck is the accountability?”
To whom and to what are we accountable?
As a Shaman, I take my responsibility and accountability very seriously. The laws to which I hold myself accountable aren’t decided by a court. The highest laws to which I answer are Divine Law, which is the Law of Love, and Gaian Law, which is the law of Free Will, Sovereignty, and Respect for Life.
It is because I know and abide by these laws that I have close relationships with powerful spirits and noncorporeal beings. It is because I know and abide by these laws that I am committed to living a life of empathy, generosity and compassion for all beings. It is because I know and abide by these laws that I am a Shaman, a healer, a spiritual mentor, and I support others who are called to higher service. It is because I know and abide by these laws that I work in service for the healing, liberation and illumination of all beings, everywhere. It is because I know and abide by these laws that I hold myself accountable to serve my community, serve humanity, serve Gaia and Spirit.
It is because I know and abide by these laws that I am disgusted and enraged by humans who have the audacity to break them so blatantly. But it is not my job to judge them or hold them accountable. When they are held accountable, it will be by a community of people devoted and accountable to the Law of Love. They will be held accountable by Spirit and by their own karmic retribution.
If the man-made laws are corrupt, we must do better. We must hold ourselves accountable to Love and Respect.
If you’ve been waiting to step into your Higher Service, now is the time.
Healers, I call you.
Teachers, I call you.
Social workers, I call you.
Counselors, I call you.
Advocates, I call you.
Doctors, I call you.
Scientists, I call you.
Animal protectors, I call you.
Earth tenders, I call you.
Grant writers, I call you.
Activists, I call you.
Neighborhood organizers, I call you.
Farmers, I call you.
Permaculturists, I call you.
Naturalists, I call you.
Parents, I call you.
Youth mentors, I call you.
Artists, I call you.
Those accountable to Divine Law (the Law of Love) and Gaian Law (the Law of Free Will, Sovereignty, and Respect for Life), I call you to step into the full, embodied commitment of your Higher Service, no matter how that expresses for you.
If you have been waiting for the “right time,” that time is now.
I invite you to ask yourself:
What is my calling to Higher Service? (If you’re not exactly sure about the specifics yet, start with your gut feelings.)
How does my Higher Self want to express in the world? (Again, follow the bread crumbs and trust that it will continue to unfold.)
What support, training and mentorship do I need in order to step into that? (Are there credentials, prerequisites or qualifications that you need to do that work?)
Who is the right person or organization for me to learn from or collaborate with? (Is someone out there already doing that work and you can partner with them? Is there a teacher you can study with?)
What community or special interest groups are there that I can join? (We can’t do this alone.)
And if your particular flavor of Higher Service would benefit from my support, I invite you to book an introductory call with me so we can discuss your journey and see how I can help you on your path.
If you want me in your corner, I am opening spaces for new clients to come into 1:1 work with me!
***There are no prerequisites for working 1:1 with me. I work with advanced practitioners who have years of training and study and want personal support for themselves and their work. I work with new and aspiring healers and practitioners who want support in foundational skill development and processing their awakening. I work with spiritual seekers who are not practitioners and want powerful tools for their own healing and transformation.***
Our sessions together may include some combination of the following:
Shamanic and energy healing work.
Teaching and instruction about specific principles and tools of spiritual practice from Shamanism, Alchemy, and other lineages.
Shamanic journeying, intuitive and mediumship practice to connect with the spirits for guidance and healing.
Personal ritual or ceremony.
Learning and practicing embodiment and movement work, consciousness practices, energetic techniques.
Personal guidance, processing, support and reflection.
Working with your spiritual business or soul-aligned practice (designing your new program, making a retreat budget, updating your website and your intake forms).
With Transformational Mentorship, you get me in your corner for 6 months of personal support. Check out all the details here, and when you’re ready, book a call with me to discuss if this work is the right fit for you!
If structures and systems in power are accountable to laws of profit and corruption, then we must do better. We must hold ourselves accountable to our own hearts, to empathy, to compassion, to justice, to generosity, to health, to respect, to life, and to love.
If the compass of federal law is f*cked, we must go deep within to know and understand the compass of Divine Law and Gaian Law.
Love is powerful. Community is powerful. Doing the right thing is powerful. Compassion is powerful.
May we all have the courage and fortitude to commit fully to our Higher Service, and know that our contributions will be fundamentally necessary in the days to come.
