Return of 1:1 Sessions

By choice, I’ve not done many 1:1 sessions for the past 3 or so years, which coincided to when society began to crumble. My footing in the world was unsure, my spiritual compass was wobbly and I didn’t feel I was in a place to offer them. About the same time, I learned I’m neurodivergent. I shared a little bit in an earlier newsletter, Emerging From the Cave.

The other day a guide said: “it’s time to reopen and restructure the 1:1 sessions. Let’s talk.”

Yay! I was surprised, elated and I’m bouncing in anticipation to see how this new chapter unfolds!

It’s too premature to let the cat entirely out of the bag…….but what I feel pretty safe in saying is these 1:1 private sessions will include traditional animal communication sessions and practical guidance sessions on your true kinship journey. They will help you align your intentions, values and actions as you and the animals co-create a life together. The sessions are going to be more easily accessible technically and financially, and you will receive more inclusive session followup documentation. The plan is to have them ready to go in early July. Fingers crossed!

If you don’t already subscribe to this newsletter and are interested in 1:1 sessions, consider becoming a subscriber so that you’re the first to know when they are up and running.

Looking For Book Backers

I know I’m the biased author, but the book I’m writing is both unique and essential because…..

….. it is past time we claim our grief for animal family members in ways that meet the animals’ and our needs instead of meeting the needs of a society that culturally and historically denies and avoids death.

I'm telling you this because I need help making this book a reality. I'm currently working on the manuscript with a goal of 850 words daily, which is not always met. Why? Because I have other responsibilities that need to be taken care of and as a single person it all falls to me. No amount of body doubling or multitasking can help me with this. (Believe me, I’ve tried!)

I am looking for folx who are willing to become financial backers for the book. Is that you? Your backing, no matter the amount, no matter if it’s recurring or a one time contribution reassures me and gives me the mental space to write. If you are able to become a financial backer, here are 4 ways to do so - easy for you and making a huge difference for me!
