OracleFest starts next week


Dear ones -

I want to start off quickly acknowledging - the energy feels heavy out there right now. There's a lot of fear, exhaustion, unrest, and uncertainty. Remember to

  • take some deep breaths,
  • rest (I guide you into some in my last podcast episode, ep 56, if you want some support in that),
  • connect with people you love and feel safe around.

Take yourself offline and invest in things which are real, as well as your longer-distance connections and community.

I suspect one of the most beneficial things we can do in these times is to think of focus as a currency. A precious one, at that - directly connected to our life force energy.

How and where will you spend your focus?

Remember: these times matter, the lack of safety many are facing is real, and these times are one small moment in a larger wheel which is always turning. We have the power to build something different as the old world crumbles. Choose where you spend your focus and energy wisely. <3

Now - a quick note with a little more about OracleFest - an online festival I'm guest speaking at next week.

I met Kate Graham, the founder of OracleFest, back in 2023 when I emailed the Scottish retreat center where she was working about something else and a conversation started. We realized we had a lot in common (including the obvious, our names!) and kept in touch. Eventually, I had her on my podcast (ep 40) where we laughed a lot and talked about our visions of what was happening in the world and the way intuitive gifts (and comedy) seemed to have an important role to play in the future of humanity.

Then last year, she shared her vision for OracleFest with me and I’m excited to be a guest speaker in this inaugural three-day event, January 31-Feb 2. As Kate explains, it’s “a gathering of 25+ visionary speakers, live oracle readings, and transformational sessions designed to deepen your connection with your intuition, awaken your skill and gifts, and guide you into a more aligned, empowered path.”

The speaker lineup holds quite a lot of interesting topics and visionaries. You can check out the speaker schedule here.

I’ll be speaking about Burnout, Land Connection, and Rhythms of Aliveness - how Land Connection is also body connection, ancestral connection, and cultural connection; and how connecting to those things can move us out of cycles of burnout and into feeling more human and more alive.

Other OracleFest Highlights:

  • 25+ Speakers sharing wisdom on starseeds, shamanism, twin flames, sound healing, tarot, mysticism, and more
  • Live Oracle Readings to uncover divine guidance
  • Sound Healing with crystal bowls and sacred music
  • The Mystical Marketplace: Explore oracle decks, spiritual tools, and treasures
  • The Tree of Wisdom: A growing library of insights and resources
  • Guided Shamanic Journeys, ancestral healing, and Starseed activations

Tickets are Pay What You Can starting at just $11. Or upgrade to Full Experience or VIP for exclusive workshops, lifetime recordings, and more. (Payment plans are available for VIP passes).

If you're interested in a weekend of all things mystical, join us on the mountain as we reclaim the role of oracular visions in guiding humanity's path. You're most welcome around the fire.

And if you have questions or curiosities and wonderings about connecting with the land, whether you're attending OracleFest or not, I'd love to hear. What’s been your experience with it or why do you feel it’s important?

with Love,

Kate

P.S. Kate had me on for an Oracle Mountain Chat - so if you'd like to hear her interview me, I thought we had a pretty cool conversation and you can find it here.

Hi! I'm Kate - an intuitive, medicine woman, and guide for embodied Presence

Are you a compassion warrior, culture worker, and rebel who cares deeply about humanity; who's tired of doing all the “right things” and still getting what you’re trying to avoid; and who feels trapped between burning it all down or dying but would rather be wildly, and sacredly alive? I'm an animist and ancestral wisdom guide; ceremonialist, and empath. And I love guiding other humans who want to use their burnout and purpose anxiety as a jumping-off point to journey into their shadows and the shadows of modern society in order to de-armor their hearts; remember a deeper, wilder sense of belonging to the world; and reclaim the rich and sacred spark of their aliveness. This newsletter contains wisdom nuggets, podcast episodes, and invitations to paid and free offerings from my business. All in support of remembering a more animist and land-based culture; holding firm to our humanity in a dehumanizing world; and living with compassion, vulnerability, and reverence.

Dear ones - There’s a lot of upheaval in the world and it feels surreal to be alive amid so many unfolding crises while also going about the mundane of our days. I’m naming that because while political activism work doesn’t feel like it’s my best contribution to these times (but guiding people to stay human does), I don’t believe in bypassing either. I believe we have to hold the tension of wondering if we’re doing the right things and enough of them; alongside loving the people around us,...

Dear ones - The full moon from a few days ago is known in Scotland and Irish Gaelic as the Wolf Moon - the days are getting longer, but there’s still a lot of winter left. Lean days. Hungry days. Wild days. This far north, I can really see how much longer the evenings are getting already. A quick change in weather had all the snow where I was disappear overnight. We’re a few weeks away from the beginning of February and what’s known in the Gaelic speaking countries as Imbolc or Imbolg -...

Dear ones - Happy Roman New Year and beginning of 2025! As they say in Scotland: “lang may yer lum reek” which means “long may your chimney smoke” - a wish for long life, prosperity, and community (harking to the tradition of first footin’ and bringing coals to each other to keep the fire going after the bells ring midnight). Being over here it’s been a pretty quiet holiday season for me, though not without the love of friends and family. There has been plenty of that. I’m grateful to you all...
