The River Room

I am SO completely excited and honored to open River Story sessions here, with me, in Austin.

The waters here are the same sacred rivers where natives came to lay down their troubles over 10,000 years ago. Sacred. Poetic. Brave. Like nothing I have ever felt.

If you are traveling from afar, no worries, our bungalow cottage has a light-filled third bedroom (that Lily has lovingly named "The River Room") waiting, with a warm cup of tea on the nightstand. (Maybe even some donuts - or tater tots my favorite- in the oven, too!)

If you are called, I would LOVE to hear from you.

Update Ya'll

 

I have a newsletter that I send out every once in a while. There's no Spam or anything, just fun stuff like first-to-know announcements, and inside scoops on my life and business.

This morning I sent out the latest issue, and I wanted to share it with you, too. A full circle kind of thing.

Read the latest newsletter HERE.

You can sign up for the awesomeness here. The next one in the works has a SUPER EXCITING announcement and a beautiful FREEBIE. High Fives!

Krause Springs / Austin, TX // River Story

I don't drink at all, but I've heard of people who save really good bottles for no other reason than they are really good bottles. They leave them on a shelf and drink them little by little; savoring.

That's how it was with this River Story. I'd edit one image and then close my computer.

When I edit, there's this whole conversation that happens between me and the subjects and ancient medicine women and the waters and a million other luminous things. My editing process is a whole lot of intuitive communion with energy. This session brought me SO much.

These women. These three incredible souls. Janica's mother with her quiet, regal bravery. Little Bailey with her light-filled singing soul. and Janica, bringing her fierce brand of kindness and laughter to the world.

Not to mention, the location, Krause Springs, is in my top 5 most miraculous places I have ever been to. I bet I could find words to illustrate this crazy magical environment, but that's not really fair. I want you to come here, stand in the middle of the wind chime forest, let your legs sink into the waterfall-fed springs, and feel what happens in your own heart. It's in my backyard now, and I truly cannot wait to share it with you!

This morning I finished this session. And even though I am a tiny bit sad to see it complete, mostly I am just so completely grateful for every last drop of pure magic it brought to my life.
