October Newsletters
Dear NEST Community,
With a heart full of gratitude, I reach out to you today.
As the leaves dance in the breeze, the clouds drift across the sky, the birds sing from the forest canopy, and the sun warms my face, I am reminded of the power of our flock — the healing that takes flight when we support one another’s journeys.
Nature makes it clear that the Great Spirit, our Creator, has placed us here to live with purpose.
That purpose may be as small as an ant carrying a crumb across the earth or as profound as a friend arriving at just the right moment to lend a wing in service.
When we show up together, each bringing the best of ourselves to the nest, progress unfolds as naturally as the migration of birds across the seasons.
The Vision Quest here at the NEST was a living example of these tiny miracles — generosity and compassion revealed like feathers in the wind.
As I sat upon my blanket, roots and stones pressing beneath me, grounding me in an uncomfortable but present stillness, I received so much.
I was invited to let wisdom settle into my being simply by witnessing what unfolds in nature around us every day.
Sitting in the darkness, facing the flutter of fear, I came to realize that the only predator circling me was my own mind. There, in the quiet, I was safe, held, and nourished far beyond the needs of my body.
Gratitude for Vision Quest Participants
To all who participated in the Vision Quest — whether here in person or in spirit — your presence and prayers have helped weave this nest stronger.
Together, we continue to rise, to fly, and to grow.
There are many more “downloads” winging their way toward us in the form of new creations. Fresh gatherings, celebrations, hybrid events, and expanded collaborations are on the horizon.
The flock is growing, and our wings are stretching wider. 🦅
I’m overjoyed to share that the Tipi grounds are taking shape.
Jon Rucker from Wild Beauty and his crew have been working hard building up a strong foundation for the next Nest prayer grounds!
Soon we will have even more space to pray, play, and let our wings rest together.
I can’t wait to welcome you to this new roost as soon as it’s ready.
If you feel called to help strip poles or lend a hand, we welcome your time and presence — even a few hours makes a difference.
Thank you Matthias!!
This auspicious gift landed at the Nest straight from Tibet immediately following Vision Quest.
Much gratitude to our dear community member Matthias Von Reusner for your offering.
Upcoming Events
We invite you to join us at the N.E.S.T. and beyond for upcoming gatherings—spaces of remembrance, healing, and co-creation.
Each event is a living offering, where we come together in community to explore the meeting point of science and spirit, body and soul, sound and silence.
Whether through ceremony, learning, or shared inquiry, we gather to deepen our connection to the mystery that moves through all things. 🌿✨
In honor and recognition…
I would like to take a moment to recognize and honor one of the greatest inspirations of our time.Jane Goodall.
A true rockstar in the world of activists, healers, messengers, angels shouting with grace that we all matter!
Every living being has a purpose and a value. There is hope! Never forget! (Watch this)
Fly on angel’s wings till next time…
As autumn settles in at the Nest, the time has come to bid farewell until our next newsletter.
Just like migrating birds preparing for their journey, we too have been diligent in our work, reaping the bountiful gifts of our efforts.
The season of harvest serves as a gentle reminder that our hard work and commitments always pay dividends.
Until we meet again, may you continue to soar like the birds that grace our skies, embracing the beauty of change and the warmth of community.
Goodbye for now, and may the fall season bring you tranquility and joy.
