Following the Moon: Relaxing With What IS

La Luna, Drozda, 2011, mixed media

Welcome to the New ‘Experience’ Moon


The New Moon begins Tuesday, September 27 in the early morning (EST) and the New Phase extends through Friday, September 30 at noon.
At the time of the New Phase, during this post Equinox cycle, you can begin the turn toward the calming period of the Natural Year. You can begin to slow down and cease the push. You can begin to relax your pace. This Experience cycle is about recognizing that your own needs are now met. You can consciously begin to open to Life and the Mystery in the six months ahead. Now you can acknowledge that you’re truly a pioneer…you’re moving in a direction that is all new…and you get there by turning inward.

On Friday, September 30, in the early morning, the Crescent Phase begins. The Crescent Phase extends through the late evening of Monday, October 3 giving you the ability to research and develop the Experience that is the work of your now inward turning heart. Think about harvesting what the Natural Year has brought your way. Gather your resources...read more

Following the Moon: AHAs for the Art/Life: Registration Now Open

Welcome to 'Following the Moon': It's the Fall Equinox...a beautiful time to consider deepening calm and turning our attention toward balanced harmony.


With this in mind I'm taking a step onto a new path in my Art/Life and I invite you to join me.

Beginning on the New Moon, Tuesday, September 27, and through the entire 'Experience' Moon cycle ending October 26, I will be offering my first in the eStudio series titled AHA's for the Art/Life.



Our first eStudio is called "Tools for Change." In this four week Experience, we'll explore the gentling of time. You will be able to experience the cadence of lunar flow through the area of your Art/Life that you choose to focus upon. With the information that you gather during this four week eStudio you'll have access to completely transferrable and continually applicable 'Tools for Change'.
The AHA eStudio format is structured so that you can be fluid in terms of how you engage.

You can either take the information in privately at your own pace, or you can share your process by bringing it to the "Tools for Change" forum. At the forum we'll share our Experience and keep the conversation going.

My heartfelt invitation to you is to step into this Experience... a natural way to gentle and calm time making space for consistency and focus.

        Cost for the eight modules of "Tools for Change"               September 27 - October 26:

$40.00

Our first eStudio opens on September 27 with each phase of the moon (approximately every four days) the next segment of our Experience will be posted within our secure 'Tools for Change' site.


You can Experience 'Tools for Change' in two ways... self guided or interactive. Either format allows you full access to information for the gentling of the next phase of your Art/Life.

Here at the Fall Equinox consider a quiet focus.

Walk into calm and balance.

Take an inward turn and greet your Art/Life with these gentling 'Tools for Change'.

Following the Moon: Love is a Verb

Heart Work, Drozda, 2009, underpainting

Welcome to the First Quarter Moon phase of the ~Love Moon cycle~

“The love we give away is the only love we keep” Elbert Hubbard (1859-1915)

The First Quarter Moon phase began Sunday, September 4 in the early afternoon (EST) and extends through Thursday, September 8 at dawn.

At the time of the First Quarter Phase under this September Moon we rally and manifest what we’ve been working toward. We make a push forward and step up the pace. This Love cycle isn’t about getting our own needs met it’s about giving our best and making what we love visible.
The vision that we held at the Spring Equinox (March 22) and at the New Moon of August 28 (think gathering power) becomes propelled…think rocket booster…blast o’ power… and this level of moving forward requires courage. I may sound like a broken record but this is the month to send your energy ideas into orbit…this is the month to grab hold of your star and shine. And just to keep it all in perspective…a gentle reminder that blasting off into a place of depth connection to ‘loving the life that is’ requires major courage and committment...read more

Knowing what is error, one comes closer and closer to AHA’s”…and so it is.
