How I got my name…

by

My name, Ariana, is a spiritual name I took in my 30s. When I interviewed Riane Eisler recently for my Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder – for the healing of Earth summit, I told her the story.

I told her because SHE was really responsible for me taking the name.

Her book, The Chalice and The Blade, was a transformational book for me. Reading about ancient European cultures that had worshipped the Great Goddess, in which women held power in equalitarian societies, and war was almost non-existent, was a revelation.

Learning her language of the Dominator paradigm vs. the Partnership paradigm was liberating and affirming.

We are not doomed by human nature to use violence! Cultures existed in our past where women and men were in partnership with each other and with our Earth! We can do it again, and even better.Continue Reading

Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder – Seesawing and Harmonizing

by

As I’m working on the Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder – for the healing of Earth summit, I’m seesawing in between excitement and feeling like I’m fulfilling a big part of my mission – and feeling completely inadequate, overwhelmed, and hearing that voice that says, “Who am I to think I can do something this big?”

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with my mind racing. Sometimes I get a lot done. Sometimes I get nothing done, and let myself get drawn down the rabbit hole of the internet.

This being human thing – it’s not always easy, is it?

Okay, I remind myself. Time to remember all the tools you’ve learned. Get regular meditations back into the schedule. Get outside and talk to the trees. Use your essential oils to get back to sleep. Let go of perfectionism. (Perfect ain’t gonna happen anyway.) Do a SoulCollage® reading. Do an inner parts dialogue.Continue Reading

Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder

by

One of my speakers for the Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder summit told me a wonderful story.

She has been studying shamanism and sitting in circles with women from many cultures and traditions for years.

Many women in these circles realized they had been dreaming of each other – and that we are all receiving and carrying the same visions.

We are all being called to work together. There is no more time to hold sacred traditions tightly. It is time to bring our spirituality into the world, and yes, even into politics.

I’m not talking about bringing organized religion into politics. I’m talking about the underlying principles of spirituality – love and compassion, unity consciousness, the sacred nature of all life.Continue Reading

Raw and vulnerable…

by

The election has left me feeling raw, vulnerable, and as if I’m living in an alternate reality. My faith in humanity has been shaken.

A dear friend reminded me of how important our songs are at times like these. Here is one of mine – raw and unrehearsed.

​​​​​​​It’s balm for my soul. I hope it is for yours, too.

If you’d like to have a channeled reading about the big questions you’re dealing with right now, email me. I have special pricing available right now for this new offering.

When toads come out of my mouth…

by

As much work as I’ve done on myself and my ability to communicate with integrity, I still goof sometimes.

I did it with a dear friend the other day. I said something that really hurt her. I actually used a word I’ve never used in that context before. It was extreme hyperbole, and totally inappropriate.

I was stunned that it came out of my mouth, and BOY was I ashamed.

And irony of ironies – we were having a meeting about a retreat we’re doing on difficult communication.

I remembered the old tale where an uncivil little girl is cursed by a fairy to have toads & snakes come out of her mouth, while her civil and kind sister is given the gift of flowers and jewels.

We sat there, looking at the toad I had spoken, sitting in the middle of the room. I was squirming inside. My friend is a very accomplished communicator herself, and we worked it out pretty quickly.

But my shame didn’t go away for more than an hour. Continue Reading
