Following the Advice of Ferns
Learning to Trust Our Inner Guidance
“Keep it simple.”
That’s what I heard when I turned into the ferns for advice on how to share next about The Coracle, my upcoming myth mentorship beginning this Sunday, May 18th.
It was Maku’e Lau Li’i who spoke up, the fern of simplicity.
At first I questioned the wisdom of her advice. “What do you mean? Don’t people need all the information before they sign up? Don’t I need to show that I know what I’m talking about, that I’ve paid my dues and joining The Coracle would be a worthy investment in themselves?
Maku’e Lau Li’i didn’t even bother answering.
She let me answer myself. In her silence, she created the space for me to become my own leader.
“Keep it simple,” I said to myself. “Speak from the heart.”
In the past few letters, I’ve explained what I mean by safety and magic, how ceremonies are somatic, and how fairy tales are a spiritual technology.
All these things are aspects of The Coracle you’ll experience if you enroll. They are the container, the elements of the vessel, and I’ve enjoyed sharing them with you, and hopefully your curiosity has been piqued, or your mind has been introduced to some new ideas.
But The Coracle is far more than some new ideas. This is not a course where you’ll learn some new things that you probably won’t integrate into your life.
The Coracle is a life-changing rite of passage.
For some it may be an initiation. For others it may be an invitation to shift from doubt to wonder.
Like the shifting currents of water that carry our sealskin, I can’t predict the currents, but I can say I know the journey will be deep and beautiful.
And so I’m asking you, do you feel The Coracle in your heart?
It can be that simple!
If it’s a yes, I’d be honored to welcome you. Registration will be open through Friday, May 16th.
Please reply to this email if you have questions, or book a discovery call on my website.
