Earth Day - Friday April 22nd
Earth Wisdom – Listening to the Wisdom of the Earth
7:30-9pm, A special Earth Day evening talk at East West Bookstore Seattle
Register at East West Bookstore, in person or online. Where do we go from here?
Our world, the people in it, the animals and plants and elements are always teaching us. Many of us have a transpersonal relationship with the earth. But as listeners and stewards, members of community and family, how do we personalize our relationship to the earth and what she is telling us anyway? How can we be aware of symbols, signals, and clear messages that she is constantly showing us? And be a part of a spiritual and physical solution?

Saturday April 23rd Vision, Spirit, and Reality – Taking Ourselves to the Next Level
All day workshop, 10:30am to 6:30pmat East West Bookstore SeattleRegister at East West Bookstore, in person or online.
A day of clairvoyant, shamanic, cross-cultural, creative, and experiential work to access wisdom internally and externally for walking your path with greater ease and guidance. Each individual has a dream and singular steps are needed to make toward that vision of their lives.
We are also given a vision for our lives, for our deep love relationships, and our work in community. How do we find the next step toward our vision? How do access wisdom from the seen and unseen worlds to clarify, distill, and implement our next step so we can go in the direction we want and find the answers we need when the next step is required?

Hello Every Beautiful One,
Thank you for coming together in a sacred manner with support, encouragement, and an eye on community. You are exemplifying the truth that at the heart of every community is the holy intention of looking out for one another, to care deeply about one another. With many changes happening with the Earth, we have been called to gather ourselves, our energy, our resources, and the love we all carry and to make it into a prescription and not a description. Yes, it is important to know what is happening, and we are not helpless. We have power and energy, and we can send that energy to strengthen, deepen, and honor the soul of the Earth and to bring healing anywhere on Earth.
What is best is that we take precautions, do self-care, make the effort to visualize a positive outcome, connect with our hearts, spend time with family, friends, and community, and to honor this time of change as an opportunity to deepen and strengthen our relationships. We must not get wrapped up in description because we really don’t know everything that is happening at this time. We must be focused on the prescription and remember our power is in the present moment. We ask ourselves, what can I bring to myself, my family, and my community, to mother earth, and my relationships to all beings? Presence. We can bring our presence and stay located in what is actually happening now, and honor what guidance we are receiving from the mystical and practical worlds.
This is a time we have all been prepared for. How can I be physically prepared and spiritually prepared, how can I be the realistic practical presence that turns things in a more positive and beneficial direction for everyone? Honor what is happening now. Ask, what do I need to feel prepared? Eat some kelp. Have a three-days-three-ways pack, and three weeks of food and water for yourself, your family, and your pets.
When the physicals are done, we tend to our daily practice of connecting to the mystery (taking time one hour a day in nature), listening in silence and loving and creating. If we tend to our own healing, the words that live in our hearts, we will slow down and deepen our relationship, trust, and connection to the nature spirits. We can make offerings (food, stones, little gifts of healing and gratitude for the earth) and in this honor the spirits of land and place. In Japan, in the Shinto tradition, they have many spirits in nature that protect and guard and guide. We have similar spirits here, and while honoring the spirits here we can also honor the spirits there. If we do this here, the nature spirits befriend us. And as with any relationship, this takes consistency, time, listening and sharing, giving and receiving in equal proportion. Trust and closeness are developed through commitments that are kept. A daily time in nature is a commitment worth keeping because it reconnects us with our own nature. As we communicate with nature we heal our instinctual selves, we come home to a deeper trust, and become a part of the solution through honoring the wisdom and insights found in our time with nature.
Our work is to be part of the solution.
Our work is to be part of the solution.
Our work is to be part of the solution.
Make your prayers however you make them. Move to help, assist, and prepare your home and your car. Be awake and listen to your guidance. Everything you need is within you and all around you. The truth about what is happening now is we are blessed beyond sound and sight by what we have been given. Let’s maintain our focus on that, and do whatever we can to assist those we can reach with our gifts and resources while maintaining our own work, health, and wellbeing; so we can empower others, assist and alleviate any suffering. Which is what we really all want to do. We send love where it is wanted and needed. And if our wellbeing is tended, we will be, as Angles Arrien says, “in the prescription and not the description.”
Pray, heal, listen, tend, reach out, and offer healings only when asked or only with permission. Clarify through your heart and guidance from the unseen world any action or prayer before it is made to see if that is what is needed or not. Take care of yourself and the ones you love. Prepare. Be incredibly present, and listen to the wisdom we all carry by doing what we can for the Earth, and all relations. Keep loving and lifting the energy, and continue with the work of caring for self, other, and community.
With Great Respect, Gratitude, and Love,
Char Sundust

Dear One,
Happy Snow Day (this is a free skate)!
Class will not be held tonight due to more snow in the forecast. Class will resume next Thursday.
Here is your homework:
Until next week continue to reflect on these things – your card remains the Hanged Man for this week.
Continue looking from different perspectives and differing views of every situation. There are often 2 things we think that we should do, or 2 options that we think we must choose from. But it is most often the 3rd option or solution that we have not yet considered that is the best choice.
Have Fun! Make snow ice cream! And I will see you next week.
With loving gratitude,
Char

Lovers Workshop - Saturday February 12th
This is a relationship workshop. We bring who we are to all of our relationships.
Relationships guide us through the wild territory of who we are. How do we receive those gifts? What do relationships give us? We will learn tools to become more full-hearted in our relationships. If we are not whole, how can we ask anyone else to be what we ourselves are not?
Experientially, we will explore the terrain of our own happiness and what a relationship needs through its many initiations and fires. To co-create a loving and truthful partnership, the fire of transmutation, the flow of flexibility, the spirit of shared and personal vision, and the profound innocence it takes to fall in love.
Space is limited. Pre-registration is required.
Bring someone as your partner to the workshop. This can either be a lover or a good friend, the exercises will be for people to work in pairs.
Location: Bastyr University
Cost: $350/couple - lunch is included.
