“Asking the proper question is the central action of transformation- in fairy tales, in analysis, and in individuation. The key question causes germination of consciousness.”

Last day to enroll in COLOR of WOMAN
Today’s episode shares a bit of my story, and invites you to ask the proper question~
Featuring Wild World by Cat Stevens and quotes from Dr. Estes
“A healthy woman is much like a wolf: robust, chock-full, strong life force, life-giving, territorially aware, inventive, loyal, roving.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“Asking the proper question is the central action of transformation- in fairy tales, in analysis, and in individuation. The key question causes germination of consciousness. The properly shaped question always emanates from an essential curiosity about what stands behind. Questions are the keys that cause the secret doors of the psyche to swing open.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves
“All the "not readies," all the "I need time," are understandable, but only for a short while. The truth is that there is never a "completely ready," there is never a really "right time."
As with any descent to the unconscious, there comes a time when one simply hopes for the best, pinches one's nose, and jumps into the abyss. If this were not so, we would not have needed to create the words heroine, hero, or courage.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves
Beltaine Fire Ceremony Details
Animystica New Creation Stories
May 1st, 2025 10:00 - 11:30 am PT
Please adjust time for your region www.worldtimebuddy.com
Come lift your spirits and celebrate Earth with us during our Beltaine Fire Ceremony cohosted by MUSEA’s Founding Curate Shiloh Sophia and our Creative Doula Kathleen Brigidina.
This is not only an invitation to celebrate Earth, it is also an opportunity for you to renew your personal interconnection to Earth as she breathes deep inside with you. You are invited to have a heart opening experience full of story, art, music and prayer where we kindle the inspiring fires of community in this time of unsettling global need.
This will be a time to fill your own well as we weave the stories of our ancestors around the world and reflect on ancient Celtic traditions together.
Earth ceremonies give us permission to pause, reset, and multiply our intentions with each other for Earth and all creation. You will be invited to share your own unique intentions if you are called to.
“Beltaine" comes from the Celtic god "Bel" (meaning "bright one") and the Gaelic word "taine" (meaning "fire"), thus signifying "bright fire". The ancient Celts also believed that trees are sacred beings and the Maypole, which they danced around, represented the world tree or axis mundi, with its roots reaching down into the underworld and its branches spreading out into all realms of existence.
Together, we will immerse our creative spirits in the essence of MUSEA’s CURA Council’s 500 Year Vision for the Quantum Commons which includes 8 community ceremonies that follow the wheel of the year. During 2025 each of our ceremonies will showcase Animystica’s New Creation Stories written by MUSEA Guild members who will read excerpts and share their art from the book they created during our Animystica course. We are thrilled to announce we will be joined by our wonderful Animystica Author/Artist Clair Oaks and the delightful singer/musician Lisa River Turner during our Beltaine Ceremony. Our stories create a layered masterpiece that tells a new story of the future we are co-creating.
We look forward to joining hearts in ceremony with you.
