It is just under a week until the Oracle of Initiation divination deck’s tenth anniversary. There are some amazing new experiences and specials coming up during this grand celebration, and I am so thrilled to be teaching in the desert again. This anniversary is such a wonderful marker, the maturing of a project that offers such deep and compelling shape-shifting mysteries. The deck is a GPS guide to navigating these turbulent times, a multidimensional wisdom council revealing the hidden power within our shadows. These Rainbows in the Dark are the paradox of our greatest gifts being tempered and honed during our challenges; our light reflected through the prisms of our holy crevices.
On April 23rd, 2016 I will be offering a workshop at the wonderful Rainbow Stew shop in Yucca Valley (Joshua Tree) California. Join us as we explore the transformational gateways that are open to each of us now. Looking forward to seeing some of you in person, it is so precious to be in the same space opening to the next steps of our journey, together.
