Opening these weekend community murals up to participation from people of all ages is integral to the intention of the experience, and is also a slippery shuffle between structure and surrender. I'd be lying if I told you that this isn't a difficult dance!

There are moments all throughout these gatherings when someone adds something to the painting that causes me to tense up deep down! Some part of me that yearns for control feels threatened by the unexpected, and was attached to the idea that the painting might go in another direction. But time after time after time, what my mind initially labels as mistakes become happy little accidents that open up potent portals of possibility. Oftentimes, someone will plant a seed or a sketch that hours or even days later will evolve at the hands of someone else. Seeing this pattern play out repeatedly really helps me loosen my grip on whatever pesky thoughts come up along the way.

This is where the children are the true gurus in these sessions. They are excited, unafraid, confident, and quirky with a paintbrush in their hands. They have some of the wackiest ideas and also just want to have fun! I speak to so many adults who are unsure of what to paint, are convinced they're not artistic, and frozen by fear that they'll mess things up....meanwhile the kids will just step up to the plate and slap some paint any which place they like.

Finding the balance between allowing all expression while also encouraging attunement to the marks that have already been made is where the real magic happens. This piece taught me quite a bit about balancing elder discernment with youthful boldness, and I'm honored to have continued opportunities to practice this craft of collective co-creation.

Since I rarely post my dances with fire
Let a moment be seen
Of when I got to throw down
At @harmonicearthgathering
While we silent discoed
Our hearts out to be seen

September, you came in with a tornado warning and are leaving with a nor’easter and a blanket of fog. Everything in between felt a little like all three: beautiful, expansive, and moving faster than I could document.

There was our intimate outdoor Moon Bath on Homer’s village green, in partnership with Homer Center for The Arts. Then a brief, nourishing visit to Spirit Kindred Women’s Gathering: sound, an opening circle with beloved Sofia Moon, and time in the woods gathering discarded glass alongside hickory nuts and wild apples—seeds I hope to grow at home at Harmony Acres.

There was a third Thursday sound bath at the Wellness Studio in Cortland, an experimental recording day at Capture Studio in Syracuse, so much time spent at the new and ever-improving beaver dam…

There was my son’s fifth birthday, surrounded by new friends, and two happy children beginning kindergarten and second grade. So much gratitude for the people helping us feel rooted here.

And there was Harmonic Earth Gathering at Stonehedge Gardens: women’s circles, my first experience of Sufi whirling, DEEP conversations about land stewardship, and a late-night sound journey with Zach. Rain falling, a fire burning, our children asleep and friends nestled under blankets as close as they could squeeze, all of us held in sound and collective prayer.

These experiences feed everything I offer through Earthtoned: sound, ecology, connection, and spaces where we can feel more at home in ourselves and with one another.

A little quiet here. A very full life out there. 🍂

So much is brewing. Just wanted to chirp in on this last day of the month!

You all really are my tribe! @harmonicearthgathering you continue to amaze me with the love, gratitude, and connection I feel for you all!

I attended last year in 2025, and had the opportunity to bring Milkweed Medicine to Harmonic Earth and Stonehege for the first time, as part of the healers village. The connections made that weekend led to deep collaborations throughout the year with both the Land @stonehedgegardens, with Tom, and also so many others in the community.

I’m beyond grateful to have been invited into the organizing team this year for 2026, and it felt soul good to be in this co-creation.

Deep thanks for the honor and privilege to be a part of this creation and a huge Thank You to each of you, who shared your heart, art, music, dance, grief, gratitude and gift of service, it really does take a village. Love love❤️🧚‍♂️🌳🌈🌏🌧️

making a community mural over three nights & four days of a healing arts festival, while also camping, connecting, parenting, dancing, sound bathing, and sometimes sleeping, is a bit of a blur...full of so many deliciously unique moments and yet also over in a few blinks of an eye...thanks to all who made this year's Harmonic Earth so special and for all who've shown love to this design 🦁❤️‍🔥

Thank you to all of the organizers, vendors, and volunteers who make this event possible.

May we continue to learn how to honor our radiant individuality and yet let go of all identity in service of collective evolution.
