~ seems like a lovely time to reminisce about this piece- in the wake of the summer solstice and recent solar eclipse! 💥
Fiery orange and red zinnia blooms activate the centre of an artful matrix at the top of a small hummock hill at Assiniboine park, Winnipeg. A piece created as the Artist in residency at Assiniboine park- 2018. 🍃Representing a woven nest, crown, offering to the native pollinators and embedded with the runic symbol ‘Gebo’ {representing divine gifts and union with spirit} the six points of the hexagonal sculpture reach up to the physical and etherial realms of the sky and mirror the shape of comb cells and pollen seen on a micro scale.✨

Celebrating the life force of nature!

✨🌱💜🌱✨

I’ve been feeling all kinds of gratitude as I witness the bright green with pops of colour come into being in these boReal woodlands. Literally in the last couple of days the leaves and first blossoms have vigorously burst open- my heart bursting open right along with them... So much reciprocal love!

This lively Offering // Earthen Alter was created from these sentiments as I engaged in my cyclical New Moon intension setting and spell work. Everything seen here was collected, wild foraged and arranged from my forest findings today- with thanks and offerings of my hair and many kisses! 😙🌬

Happy full {(super)} moon in Scorpio 🌊🌪whoooosh! Also known as the full flower moon. 🌸 🐚💫 Go deep if you’re called to. Connect to the simplicity of be-ing if you need to. Stay soft, be fierce, rest, bloom, dance, cry... it’s all medicine for your spirit. Give it up to your higher self— it knows what to do! You are loved one way or another. ::.
I also wanted to thank all you Earth angels and beckons of light for connecting; sending lovely messages, songs, uplifting words.

A wacky experimental film collaboration between and I, circa 💫2017-2018. The message is ever more poignant these days as the film deals with concepts surrounding isolation and the light at the end of the tunnel. . .

Blessed Beltane // May Day to all my beauty~full pagan pals. •★ {(🔥)}★•
Ode to the season of GROWTH, ABUNDANCE and true AWAKENING. Kind greetings to the birds, bees and other creatures that begin to thrive. ✨ 🐝🌷👑✨
It may be challenging to feel as though you can thrive given the current circumstances. Many are navigating unique transitions, ups and downs and It’s okay to just BE.
During this phase of nature’s cycle, everything slowly but steadfastly comes alive! ...Be it resolved that we let this be our inspiration when life feels less than blissful. The abundance we find when we tap into the source energy of the season is a glorious gift! Sending warm elemental waves of vitality your way~ in LOVE & GRATITUDE. 😘

Thinking back to last fall, when the team ventured to Cedar lake ranch to engage in a day of down to earth professional development— learning traditional Indigenous ways. It was a beautiful experience connecting with knowledge keepers, the land, and my co-worker friends. I count my lucky stars that I have a work place family that values wholistic growth on so many levels... we’re keeping connected through the inter-webs but I’m certainly missing the lively Art City community that’s for sure!

📍 On that note :: Art City would currently be in full throttle prepping for our OUT OF THIS WORLD annual FUNdraiser bash if it weren’t for the circumstances at hand. The fundraiser has been cancelled for this year but if you love Art City you can visit the NEW website to donate or purchase Awesome Art City Merch! 💥

My at home apothecary is bustling!✨
I’ve strained my golden balm of Gilead, and have poplar buds, calendula flowers and mugwort infusing in precious oils as well. Variations of my medicinal mushroom + root elixir is always on the go! AND I made a new moon healing salve that I’ve named ‘Venus Rising’ ~
✨{( ✧ ♀ ✧ )}✨made with all sorts of delicious botanicals n’ things including cacao butter, 3 year infused frankincense oil and an array of elating essential oils. 🤩 Next up... Chocolate alchemy :: with my fresh poplar bud infused honey, bee propolis and pine pollen- just in time for Friday :: Venus day! Venus is in Gemini currently- Gemini being my moon and ascendant, so I’m quite pleased with that energy right now. Bless it all to high heaven I say! 🙌🏼

What memories and imprints shall we co-create with the living land? ...Those of respect, revelry and magick? — heck yeah!! Show you care whenever you can and however you’re able. For me it’s all about syncopation and intuitively merging with Mama Gaia’s essence in all her cyclic glory. ♡

We walked and talked with the earth today. After drawing a big spiral in the cool sand with our bare feet and offering to***co to the prayer flag trees at what we call ‘Poplar Portal’, Jasper found a hawk feather and I found a tiny cocoon encasing that a butterfly had already emerged from. Mmm... such a beauty~full day //

A planetary slowing has been taking shape as we simultaneously face waves of polarizing feelings.

Pots of the most beautiful healing honey I know and the brightest batch thus far! This sweet medicine from the trees and the bees is one of my favourites :: wild foraged poplar bud infused prairie honey, slow infused with just a touch of warmth. I have a few pots to offer up ~ $26 each (236 ml pot) adorned with my real leaf stamp and tiny glass rhinestones. ✨
~
Poplar buds have a medicinal wealth of salicin, a natural form of ‘aspirin’ which has pain relieving qualities and anti-inflammatory properties. It has long been used traditionally to treat skin and lung ailments and is great remedy to regulate congestion in the body. You can use it anyway you please for well being however...
I simply stir the honey in my tea to enjoy the sweet rich flavour. This time around we used fresh raw honey from our friends over at ✨👌🏼 🐝
I am so excited about this beauty~full medicine, made with the utmost love and care from start to finish. Also my spirited son Jasper helped me throughout the process which has felt extra special in all truth. After all, buds are like the trees sweet little children which are ready to grow and thrive. 💫👼🏻
Pop me a message if you’re interested. local (contactless)
pick-up. 🙏🏼🌀
(*Caution: this honey should be used with care for those who have sensitivities / aspirin allergies. )

Stop :: 💖
What are you grateful for today?
You don’t have to post it here unless you’d like to share of course, because I’d love to witness you...
✨🤲🏼✨It’s just that we can always find something to be grateful for and when we tune into our gratitude, everything starts to feel easier and lighter no matter the circumstance. It’s actually proven by neuroscience, although I know this to be true in my heart. In gratitude, fear gently falls away and we’re able to face the day with a clear sense of being and purpose as various feelings come up. So what are you grateful for? Write it down, say it aloud or express it to a loved one. It all adds up. ...
Mood :: 💖
Picture from an Andy Warhol colouring book that Jasper coloured many moons ago- which I found this morning. I thought it was perfect given the fact that last night I was visited by many friends in my dreams. We were our adult selves but their was a distinct feeling that we were all adult children- full of Joy, curiosity and silly correspondence. We are all sweet kids deep down inside- don’t ya think? 🌞

Happy long weekend everyone!
The trees have been waking up and we’ve been embracing them in full spring readiness. ✨
This past week we collected pure maple sap, also known as maple water, from the maple tree in our back yard. We drilled a hole and used a pen tube in true DIY fashion, it was simple and it worked wonderfully! Maple water is full of electrolytes, minerals and nutrients that the trees store all winter long. Every morning we’ve been taking a shot glass full of this sweet stuff right when we wake up and it’s been cleaning & nourishing our family from the inside out!
We also traveled outside the city for a foraging adventure to pick poplar buds. Jasper and I are making a medicinal infused honey and infused golden oil for topically use on the skin. This potent tree medicine is sweet and analgesic. It is particularly good for the lungs, relieving pain and congestion in the body... which seems too perfect for these particular times. 🌳💫👌🏼
