How does Renewal look in your Art/Life?
You can look deep inside. You see what needs Renewal.

At the New Moon you're standing at the Eastern most point on your Moon/month circle. It's the dawn, it's the beginning. Take a moment to gaze out and imagine the 4 weeks ahead...so much will be coming to meet you.

The New Moon is that classic space in which you hold the vision of the 'art of the start'. Feel inspired by the 'not yet experienced', there is adventure ahead. It's the time to embrace the active emotion that can propel you toward your passion. It's time to be visualize the emergence of new levels of clarity in your Art/Life.

Being filled with inspiration as the Equinox approaches...'something wonderful is emerging, something wonderful is on its way'.

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: Renewing the Self

                                                                  Journal page, Drozda, 2008

Save the self by the Self, never upset the self. The Self is the only friend of self, the self is the only enemy of Self. 

These are some of my favorite words and I share them with you as we now come close to the next New Moon, the Purity cycle, which begins on March 4 and extends through Tuesday, March 8. Between now and then reflect upon the ways in which you have experienced a sense of Renewal permeating your Art/Life. If you can't quite grab a hold of this try opening your window. Listen for the first sounds of spring.  Movement is taking place.

Dream your dream. Treasure your Self. Imagine what is waiting to be born as you step into Spring cherishing your Art/Life

Whether in art, in manners, or in social structure the trend to intricate elaboration often falls of its own weight, and men and women again seek a simple direct relationship to life and one another as human beings.                                                                                        John Gardner

Today, Monday, February 28, we begin the Balsamic Phase of the Renewal Moon. This Phase continues through mid-afternoon Friday, March 4. It signals the time each year for beginning to dream of the possibilities before moving forward with the Natural Year ahead. In a few short weeks we move through the East Gate at Spring Equinox and start a new walk around the Wheel...

Following the Moon: Hearty to the Core

Portrait of the Atist as a Young Girl, Drozda, ink on bristol board, 8x10"

Welcome to Following the Moon and the closing days of the Cleansing Moon. Each year we move through the first four weeks of the calendar being able to consciously, or intuitively, clear out the cobwebs. This allows us to refine our commitment and make space for the infusion of Renewal that comes in February.



Since last Saturday, January 29, late in the evening (EST), the Balsamic phase of the Cleansing cycle has been providing time to rest. As you’ve been noticing, week by week, we’re all deep in the quadrant of the year that makes available ample opportunity to hibernate, hunker down, relax, reclaim and rejuvenate. This entire quadrant that extends for just over 90 days carries the quality of The Mystery. Here at the tail end of the Cleansing cycle you might think of it as a vacation within a vacation…you might:

Imagine sinking into a rejuvenating well distilling out the impurities in body, speech and mind.

Imagine a long spa day while you’re on holiday.

Imagine you’re already in a rest and recoup state and you go even deeper by devoting a stretch of time to being inaccessible to the outside world.
