About Me

Name:
Location: Olympic Peninsula

I am a Death Midwife and Green Burial Educator. Committed to opening hearts and minds to the ways of the Eco-Spirituality Path, Pagan and Wiccan faiths. I am the first Eco-Spiritual-Pagan Clergy at my local Hospital and am committed to helping others open hearts and minds to my loving, ethical and responsible spirituality that is based on the seasons and cycles of nature and the phases of the moon. I love nature, especially the shores of my Northwest home, my husband who taught me love and trust are possible, my four children and soon to be grandchildren. My community is a true part of what makes me whole, as I see the value of chosen family or tribe, the people who will go through all experiences toghether without judgement, through our commitment to each other, my chosen tribe is the blessing that many people know through a large extended family. We keep each other accountable, supported and we educate each other with our gifts. I am committed to educating myself and others about the choices they have in this life, and the value of preparing for whatever choices we make. Love to homebrew beer and smoke wild salmon. Feast of the sea on the beach..that is living!

The sap is rising.

Well folks, it's been waaaay to long. It's been a long winter. I say, Welcome Spring!
Welcome to the stirring seed and welcome to the sap rising that gives us a stirring in our bellies and excitement in our minds. Welcome to the wondrous daydreams about sunny days, flowers bursting forth and most importantly, the LILACS!!!

It's the time of year when many are making plans for summer travels and festivals and also plans for ceremonies for commitment. Handfastings and weddings will soon be here by the arm fulls! Of course, that means Beltane is soon to show it's colorful ribbons and we will dance our dances to help awaken the earth mother.

I will get some planning ideas for weddings up in the next few days, including some resources for green weddings, green gatherings period.

Soon!

Nora
