Spiritual Dance Blog

Sometimes I feel like I’ve spent most of my life on this never-ending quest to find others like me. Someone with the same spiritual gifts, perceptions, and experiences. Anyone who might speak the same spiritual language that I flow freely in. I think that maybe if I found someone like me, it would somehow validate my journey, validate me as a person, and make me feel less weird and less lonely. But I have yet to meet that someone. And what I’m beginning to realize is that I’ve been searching for me this whole time. I’m here on this planet to teach and to share my unique gifts and perspectives. Doing so requires me to use my voice, come out from behind the curtain, and do hard things. 

The Autumn Equinox is one of two days per year when we have equal parts of light and darkness in the sky. As we move forward from this day, the nights get longer and the days get shorter. Some celebrate the Autumn Equinox as the first day of Fall, some see it as the beginning of Libra season, and others recognize it as Mabon - the second harvest festival within the Wheel of the Year. I celebrate ALL those things.

In the summer of 2020, when the world was in lockdown, I decided to enroll in the JourneyDance Teacher Training Program. I was drawn to this practice because it felt similar to the healing dance work I had been teaching in my Christian dance and faith communities for years. I knew JourneyDance had a spiritual component, but I loved how it wasn’t confined to one spiritual path - a value that was super important to me. 

This deck saved my life. Okay, I realize that sounds pretty dramatic. But seriously, it brought me back home to myself and I’m so grateful to have found it. While shopping in a local bookstore, I tripped right in front of the display where this deck was. The universe knew I needed it LOL. Now every time I open then deck my heart swells because it was such a gift to me and I don’t know where I’d be today without it. From the beautiful artwork featuring one of my favorite birds to the unique interpretations of the author - this is the tarot deck I recommend to all my friends and family.
