It’s tempting to hold back—especially when being seen has meant being misunderstood. But we aren’t meant to live as spectators. My work exists to invite people back into relationship with life: through meditation, tarot, art, and writing experiences that hold space for connection. Each offering is a small gesture toward re-entry. When we begin to show up, others do too. And that’s how it happens: we co-create something better, together.
Tarot & Meditations March Newsletter

Hello! As March 2025 unfolds, we find ourselves in a time of swift decisions and bold actions. Governments are making sweeping policy changes, industries are shifting course, and movements are gaining momentum—all with a sense of urgency. Whether it's economic policies reshaping trade, restructuring within institutions, or global alliances being tested, we are witnessing choices made in the moment that will have lasting consequences. This kind of momentum raises questions about impact. The voices rallying in support of change are met with those urging caution, and beneath it all, the reality remains: every decision comes with a tradeoff. As we watch world events unfold, it’s worth asking—what parallels are you noticing in your own life? What changes are you making? Where are you shifting course? What in your life is gaining momentum? Are you acting quickly in response to pressure, conviction, or necessity? When we move with speed, are we being driven by clarity, or are we simply swept up in the current? And what of your impact--on your own future self or the world? Are your inner voices urging caution or cheering you forward? Is there something you're fighting for that demands urgency, or are you chasing something without fully considering the cost? March is a month of action, but it also invites reflection. How will you navigate the balance between the two? This month's Tarot Spread:This month we are working with the Knight of Swords tarot card, pulled from the Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution deck at our 2025 Year Ahead Reading. We will be working with the Consequences Tarot Spread--inspired by this Knight of Swords--at this month's Second Thursday Tarot Reading Practice. Join us at 8pm ET for help in reading this spread for yourself or try it on your own. And if you are not a tarot reader, feel free to use these questions as journal prompts. Consequences Tarot Spread: 1) What am I chasing? 2) What might it cost me? This month's Meditations:Join us as we continue to explore the Major Arcana through meditation. Next up is the Wheel of Fortune. We meet Mondays on Zoom from 8pm to 9pm ET for a guided meditation and discussion. Note: The link to register for any event can be found at the very end of this newsletter. The Tarot & Meditations YouTube page continues to be updated weekly. The latest release: The Six of Cups.

Hello November! That new collaborative project I told you about last month kicked off on October 23, 2025. Details about the next Amethyst Gate coming up this month on November 21, 2025 can be found at amethystgate.com. Our friend Elizabeth Kirwin did a write up on the first event that you can read at fairiesinamerica.com. I chose to write about the process that brought Amethyst Gate into being. Amethyst Gate is a new monthly literary series in Philadelphia that brings together poetry, music,...
Hello October! As the nights stretch longer, we are gently invited into a period of reflection. October asks us to notice both the shadow and light within ourselves—to take inventory of what we’ve inherited and what we’ve built for ourselves. During our year-ahead reading for the tenth house—linked with Capricorn and themes of status and purpose—we drew a card that centered less on achievement and more on contentment. Maybe this month’s work isn’t only about what we hold close, but what we...
Welcome back. This month we arrive at a closing. This coming Monday we gather for the final meditation in our 78-card series, ending with The World. It’s the last time we’ll sit together in this form, having traveled through every card in the deck. 🌞 Guided Meditation on the World Card — Monday, August 4 at 8pm (ET) This will be our only meditation this month. I’m still weighing whether it makes sense to continue Monday Meditations after this series is complete. One possibility is meeting...
