Nothing like sweet summer in October amiright? California is in a heatwave, so why not release a track that calls for more summer?? This Scottish- Irish tune has always held such a special place in my heart, and it’s an absolute joy to bring it to life in a one take wonder evening with @layvmusic 💚
I hope you hear the hawk cawing over the house as we sang. I truly think it wanted to be on the song. Also, there’s something about letting vocal imperfections live in a track and a take. I’m finding it liberating. also shout out to @straw.hat.cody for the mix thank you to all the people and places who’ve touched me so deeply in this wild mountain summer time…a wild summer it was. Song now streaming everywhere. #wildmountainthyme

I’ve always LOVED this traditional folk song, Wild Mountain Thyme. We started playing this song together one night in June and before I knew it Layv had hooked up the mics and we had recorded it in one take - classic! Song releasing to all platforms on October 15th, you can pre-save it now via the link in my bio so it drops into your lap that day. If you’re reading this, thank you for being here❤️🙏🏻

What if one of the most unforgettable chapters of your life is waiting for you in the Sacred Valley? 🌿✨

This is just a little glimpse of the kind of music, connection, and magic we’ll be sharing at Music & Medicine Retreat in Peru.

11 days of music, ancient traditions, ceremony, nature, deep connection, laughter, exploration, and moments that stay with you long after you return home.

We’ll sing.
We’ll make music together.
We’ll journey with medicine.
We’ll gather around the fire.
We’ll explore the Sacred Valley.
And we’ll make our way to Machu Picchu together. 🏔️

This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s an experience of a lifetime. 🤍

And there is JUST 1 ROOM LEFT ( 2 single beds for solo travelers or for a couple)

If you’ve been seeing these posts and something inside you keeps whispering “I want to be there…” maybe listen to that little voice. ✨

One room. One journey. One unforgettable chapter.

👇🏽 SAVE YOUR SPOT — link in bio or reply "Peru" in the comments and I will send you the information.

Tucked deep inside the Santa Monica mountains, your people and my people came together and mostly,

We, came together.

A total dream-like-fairy-tale, I wore abalone earrings and flowers in my hair, a hand made plant dyed dress with your scarf to match because, that’s us.

I cried. Oh, I cried, so fucking much! Every time you came near me that entire weekend, your hair, your jawline, it seemed more beautiful than ever and most of all, every time I looked at you, I saw our lifetime together and it was

A ceremony, a real life ceremony.

The food was real, cooked over the open fire, it was an art installation within its self.

The people, art as well. From all walks of life and literally the planet at large. Beaming, beautiful, fucking people!

Who would have thought when your soul came into this world, pitched way in East Africa

That you and I would find each other,

Again.

Let’s do it, again and again and again. But the truth is, I don’t think we have much choice in it. Our souls know what to do.

My love, my lion, my HUSSSSSSSSBAND!!!!!!

I’m still wondering…

Where is your god if it ain’t around you?

Who’s listening to Your God? Has it helped you?

What if 11 days in Peru changed the way you see yourself? 🤍

Not a vacation.
Not another retreat.
A journey into something deeper.

11 days in the Sacred Valley surrounded by ancient places, powerful mountains, nourishing food, music, ceremony, and a community of beautiful humans.

We’ll journey with sacred medicines including Kambo, Wachuma (San Pedro), and Ayahuasca, with each experience approached intentionally, respectfully, and with preparation and integration.

There will be music.
Voice activation.
Movement.
Mindfulness.
Hikes.
Cultural immersion.
A pilgrimage to Machu Picchu.
And plenty of surprises along the way. ✨

You’ll explore.
You’ll laugh.
You’ll sing.
You’ll go inward.
And somewhere along the way, you may meet people who feel like soul family.

And this year, we’re joined by Layv, our guest artist, bringing his music into the journey from beginning to end. 🎶

November 2–12, 2026
📍 Sacred Valley, Peru

⛰️Only a couple spots remain.

🌹First things first…HEAVENLY BODIES TAROT IS NOW LIVE!!!

Nearly two months ago, on the Summer Solstice, we gathered with some of our closest friends to celebrate what we believed would be the birth of our tarot deck into the world.

We built an altar with the original paintings & sat before them, sharing stories of how this project came to be. Three years of paintings, conversations, prayers, doubt, trust & the slow work of making something by hand.

We had hoped the Solstice would also mark our public launch. Instead, self-publishing had a few more initiations waiting for us ~ another six weeks of learning & tending to the tiny details required to actually place this work into your hands.

Frustrating as the Pandora’s box of delays were, in hindsight, we see the perfection in it.

The Summer Solstice marks both the brightest day of the year & the Sun’s entrance into Cancer ~ the sign of the mother, family & the womb. A beautiful reminder that light is born from darkness ~ that everything we eventually witness in full expression begins somewhere hidden, being quietly nurtured before it is ready to emerge.

For three years, that has been our relationship with this deck. We disappeared into our little studio in Topanga Canyon and mothered it ~ listening & allowing it to become what it wanted to be.

So perhaps the Solstice was exactly what it needed to be. Before releasing Heavenly Bodies Tarot into the world, we gathered our nearest kin around it. We blessed & celebrated it. We let it be held by family.
And then we kept mothering it a little longer.

Today, finally, we get to set it free.

Heavenly Bodies Tarot is officially available. Three years in the making, 78 hand-painted cards & a world we have poured so much of ourselves into.
We are so excited for it to become yours.

With endless love, Blu & Lily 🪽

Comment TAROT & we’ll send a purchase link straight to your inbox :)

NTO THE WILD 2026🇮🇸 Part 1 ✨

A Sacred Pilgrimage in Iceland.
A journey of surrender, adventure, deep human connection and inner transformation. ❤️‍🔥

Where strangers become family.
Nature becomes the teacher.
And the unknown becomes the path.

A journey back to what is real.
Back to your heart.
Back to yourself.

You do not have to become anything to belong here.

Maybe this is what we are all longing for.

Not another version of ourselves to become,
but the courage to return
to who we were
before the world told us who to be.

I pray that we may remember.

That freedom is our birthright.
That love is our nature.
That Earth is our home.
That we belong to one another.

33 is my “Jesus year”…. Or so they say 🥹✨❤️‍🔥

I have never felt so seen, loved or cherished as I did yesterday with so many of my beautiful humans celebrating me.

I kept thinking to myself…. Wow, if these are my friends, I must be doing something really really right!!!!

I have prayed for so long for a life that feels like this - to be accepted and loved for all that I am, in all of my shadows and light, all of my quirks and awkwardness and the vast full spectrum of my humanity.

I always say that the highest form of healing is within returning to / and honoring your inner child. My inner child feels alive and well. I’ve never lived in a place more me, nor have been surrounded by so many humans that make me feel more me. The work that I do is an extension of my soul and my inner child’s lived experience.

Within 32, I accomplished one of the biggest creative projects of my life - bringing Attuned Facilitator Training to life and literally watching myself birth something into the 3D that was once just a little seedling in the astrals. Now, 10 months later, over 25 students are now carrying forth the attuned method into the world and sharing their medicine. This has been the most fulfilling and purposeful work of my life. 🌞

32 was a year of building, and 33 feels like it is inviting me into more integration and softness. Really cultivating right relation between my healthy inner masculine and healthy inner feminine, and still not fully understanding what this looks like or what it means for my work. It feels a bit like I am in the cocoon yet again, where I must dissolve into nothingness in order for my wings to grow, more colorful and beautiful than they’ve ever been before. 🦋 🌈🦄

My word(s) and deepest prayer for this year is inner security - building an anchored and strong inner foundation so that all of my relations, familial, romantically, in business + beyond are built upon a foundation of secure attachment.

So much of my life has been driven by chaos, upheaval & waiting for the other shoe to drop. It runs deep in my DNA & lineage. 33 is the year I am devoted to healing this for myself and my ancestry 🧬

And so it may be! ❤️‍🔥

There are corners of the globe
where Mother Earth
thrives
sings
screams
bathes
thrums
in the untouched preserved beauty of her own power

We are told water is scarce
Never enough
Save it grasp it reach for it
Yet Earth gives in everflowing abundance~
Infinite Water
Air so pure my lungs dance in ecstasy w/ each life-giving sip
Everything we need is here
offered up in surplus

396,500 people live on the entire island of Iceland & 10 million live in LA county alone 🤯

Last week I, a California girl
who survives on liquid sunshine,
let
𝕥ꫝꫀ ꪶꪖꪀᦔ ꪮᠻ ⅈᥴꫀ ꪖꪀᦔ ᠻⅈ𝕣ꫀ
rumble
in
my BOWELS
my loins
Cold plunge after plunge into icy
spring, river, oceanic wave
Sweet heat relief
gently burning skin
as geothermal waterfalls
cascade down slick rock at my back

Alive.
I am
Unmistakably Alive!
Reverberates thru my mind each time I rise from icy water & claw my way back to moss
Cold… so cold
fingers numb
shaking
frozen
surely I won’t survive—
Warm wool wraps me in
Icelandic hands caress my skin
Cacao melts upon tremoring tongue
reminding me that honey, too, lives here
Cocooned in the bosom of the Westfjords
I find home again

This land has shaped me
Carved a purity in my heart
I’ve shed tears here
Sweat
Stank
& smelled of moss
Like the land
I’ve held secrets close
Twined timid truths ‘round vines&swore to never be seen
Like the waters
I’ve spilled soul-deep sorrows from my lips I thought I’d never let live
I’ve come to know love
thru contours of Earth merging w/ curves of my own human flesh

The land of volcanic eruption&glacial majesty
Where elven fae play among red crowberries ripening
Home to fertile goddess Freyja,
unseen ally dancing at the edge of imagination,
has opened my senses
not just to her moss
soft under foot
her icy pools&squirting springs
the rugged, whipping wind
that— when you listen—
sings 🌬️
But to all land

Coming home to the Canyon
I see sage brush&oak trunks w/ fresh eyes
Rosemary never smelled so pungent
Topanga too knows the mossy hills of Iceland now thru
my touch
my taste
my breath
spring water still alive in my veins
satiating, just enough,
the ever-present ache to immerse in clear, radically ecstatic water & have that water be immersed in me💧

Love Letters to Life 004

The answerless question, “Who am I?”

could also be asked, “Who are You?”

I am enchanted by this endless riddle
of getting to know Us

Even though you already know
everything about me

There are moments where I settle
into the knowingness, too

Those are the most treasured ones

Love, Megan
