“A Change in Perspective” Sadly, this spring, we lost two chicken sisters, Mildred and Myrtle. Marianne is a lone chicken now and she showed signs of distress. She stopped eating her feed, and wasn’t even interested in the expensive meal worms I’d gotten. The few eggs she laid were weak shelled and then she stopped laying altogether. The saddest thing to witness was she didn’t even want to leave the garage. I’m not sure what a chicken goes through when they lose friends. Perhaps she was in mourning. Perhaps she had trauma from witnessing what happened to them. I can only go by what I observed. She was not acting the same. Marianne wouldn’t leave the safety of the garage without an escort. Call me crazy if you want but I swear the pig, William, had an understanding of the situation. Molly too, seemed sympathetic. I observed the two of them, on more than one occasion, taking turns being with Marianne. The goat would leave the garage with Marianne following and go out to feed while William napped and then William would waddle out, the chicken would switch to shadowing the pig and Molly would retreat for a nap. It made sense that Marianne felt safe being with these larger friends. She could then relax enough to feed on the bugs and worms. I decided to join in supporting Marianne. I knew what she would like to do. I decided to dig in the flower bed with her. To be honest, I hate weeding! I’ve allowed the flowers to battle the weeds without me and the flowers aren’t fairing too well. But, I knew that digging in the dirt would bring Marianne pleasure so my perspective about weeding shifted. I didn’t think of it as weeding the flowers, I was just keeping Marianne company for a bit. I been making it a daily practice to weed with Marianne. She struts after me when she sees I have my garden claw. She clucks and coos while I scratch in the dirt with my metal prongs that look and behave like a giant chicken foot. She joins in the dirt scratching with gusto. With her sharp vision, she grabs grubs and worms before I notice them. Weeding in this way has become enjoyable! It’s enjoyable to watch Marianne light up and interact with the activity of weeding. A task that I didn’t care for, was no longer a chore. I had shifted my perspective. I was supporting my feathered friend, Marianne, who had lost her sisters. I was digging in the dirt, pulling some weeds because it made me happy to make Marianne happy. With this change in perspective, I discovered that weeding wasn’t distasteful, it was actually peaceful, joyful! Weeding got done while I was being present with Marianne! If I could change my perspective about weeding, perhaps I could do the same with other activities. What if I could find the joy in Fred’s irritating habits? I’ve spent 33 years getting pissed off with my husband’s sleep walking eating habits. Finding food reserved for a special occasion, like a birthday cake, with a gouge out of the center or discovering milk in the cupboard or crumbs on the furniture. What if I approached it from a place of curiosity and playfulness, like I did weeding with Marianne? I could treat every morning like a treasure hunt! “Wonder what I’ll find today?” I could say to myself with a chuckle. I’m so motivated by the experience with the chicken, perhaps I will try it with Fred! At Crow Moon Healing, we encourage experiencing and learning from Marianne, the chicken and all the animal friends. ****************************************************************************** Up coming events at Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast Healing the Red Thread: An Ancestral Healing Workshop The weekend of June 22-23, 2019 Crow Moon Healing • 6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, WI The genetics passed down to us from our ancestors determine the color of our eyes and hair.

"Expecting?" Molly gazed up at Ann as we walked up the hill. I sensed she was admiring the little girl, Laureline, in Ann’s arms. “You know I’m expecting a kid any day now?” Molly said to Ann. “Molly, you’re not pregnant,” I informed the goat for the hundredth time. Molly gave me a goat glare and continued to energetically connect with Ann. “I am too pregnant! I’m due any day!” Molly argued. Ann, an empathic soul, who has dealt with many channeled animal conversations in her life, sighed, “Oh Molly, it’s got to be tough wanting a baby so badly.” Molly, feeling rejected, walked away her udders swinging. It was February when I noticed that Molly’s udders began bagging up. I’ve never had a goat before so I didn’t know if goats start swelling in their udders at the age of two as part of a natural process or some kind of immaculate conception was taking place at Crow Moon Healing. As time passed, and Molly began looking a bit pregnant in the belly as well as continuing enlarging her udders, I reached out to a gal who had goats via facebook. I sent the woman pictures of Molly’s udder. The woman asked if she was around other goats birthing and if I’m sure that a male goat didn’t breed her. I explained the situation. “Ummm ya, Molly is my only goat and she thinks she’s married to William the pig and harasses him when she’s in heat but he’s adamant he had nothing to do with this, and besides he’s neutered. In fact, the only in-tact male we have is the bunny and he says he’s not interested in the goat.” Although that got a laugh from the lady, I’m not so sure she knew I actually had the conversation with William and Book-a-Boo Bunny. I was told that Molly was experiencing a pseudo pregnancy, which means her body is acting pregnant. Basically, Molly wants to be a mom so bad she’s got her body playing along. I guess this is not too uncommon with goats, but usually happens when their around other pregnant goats and babies. Molly has no goat friends. She’s got a grumpy boyfriend of a different species. The vet came out and verified what the goat lady told me, that it’s no harm to her to be fake pregnant and it’ll take its course and she’ll just go back to normal, eventually. I can’t help but feel sorry for Molly. She’s so settled on having a kid. She’s less hyper, more grounded, actually she’s content, gentle even. As I write this on the deck I see her sunning herself by the rocks. She had spent the morning grazing with William and the chicken sisters and now she’s sunning her belly. I can’t help but hope that perhaps a buck living five miles down the road came over one day, without my awareness, and gave Molly the gift of conceiving. I’ve sure appreciated her mellowing out, so has the pig. I knew last fall that Molly was depressed. I felt she wanted a baby and I thought about getting her a little friend instead but wasn’t ready. I picked Alfred, a Jersey bull calf this spring but she’s not taking to him as a nanny goat. He’s her size. She wants her own baby. I can’t blame her. I wonder how Molly will handle it when the pregnancy dries up and there is no baby. Will she go back into her version of depression? Well, Molly’s got my attention and I know exactly what she wants. She’s communicated loud and clear. Perhaps, I should go talk to the buck five miles down the road. ************************************************ Up coming events at Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast Healing the Red Thread: An Ancestral Healing Workshop The weekend of June 22-23, 2019 Crow Moon Healing • 6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, WI The genetics passed down to us from our ancestors determine the color of our eyes and hair.

He was full of energy, curious and healthy. I got him nested in the converted dog kennel that Fred divided up into two parts. One part was free from drafts and inclement weather and the other had access to the fresh air. Sweet lodgings for a little guy like Alfred. Fred and I got rubber mats to cover the cement floor and I piled the wood shavings. I wanted Alfred to feel comfy cozy. The first morning Alfred guzzled his milk replacer and was chipper, but by evening he wasn’t interested in any milk. Alfred declined rapidly from the spunky little boy we brought home to a mopey, scouring, hot mess. I tried a few tricks I recalled from my days of working on a farm but this little guy wasn’t cooperating. As I sat with him trying to encourage him to drink electrolytes, the past kept me company. Memories of when a calf died of scours, the times I tried to tube feed a calf so it wouldn’t dehydrate but died anyways, and the times when sickness took a toll on the population and I had felt helpless. I knew that the stories running in my head of the past was putting leverage on the present situation and that if I continued playing the record of failure, I would be holding that energy with Alfred. I needed to shift the energy from a place of fear to one of love. As I looked into the big brown eyes of Alfred, I decided to support him with a different energy. I prayed for help to shift my perspective and open my heart. I prayed for a miracle. Miracles are all around. The fact that I’m here, me, is a miracle. I think of all the people in my heritage that had to survive enough to conceive before dying to produce this body, personality and character of Karen, me, is a miracle. There are so many miracles happening in a day I can’t keep up with them. Like the fact that my body breathes on its own, without being reminded, and my heart beats and I’ve got like trillions of cells in my body all doing their thing, just for me, that’s amazing! Praying for a miracle for a brown-eyed Jersey calf is not a waste of miracles. There is no limit, nothing too big or too small or too much for the Creator. When I pray for a miracle, I’m not asking for control of an outcome. I don’t direct God or plead for what I think is best. Instead, I surrender. I open up my heart like a flower, letting go of the fear around losing Alfred and ask to see the situation differently, from a place of love. I’m asking for a shift of perspective, to see the beauty in the painful experience. As I caressed Alfred I prayed. “Oh Great Spirit, creator of all, I ask for a miracle here. Help me not go down the road of fear. Help me let go of the events of the past so I may be present in this moment with Alfred. Illuminate the possibilities of healing. Guide my actions. Help me see the blessings in this experience. I trust that all will be well.” I felt Spirits presence with me and it’s not because I prayed that spirit showed up, but in praying, I focused my energy on the Divine and opened myself up to feel the energy. Love is everywhere, but in my fear for Alfred, I had closed myself off. Prayer is the instrument that opens us up. So, last week, I prayed for a miracle for Alfred. I got curious about how this experience was going to enfold. I’d find myself in the place of fear periodically and I’d surrender and pray again. Alfred didn’t just get better on his own. I had asked for a miracle which is a change in perspective. With the heaviness from the stories alleviated, I had clarity on the next step and trusted. I connected with two lovely vets, both compassionate and supportive. Alfred got great care with a two-night stay at the vet and then he got pneumonia after coming home. The opportunity arose that I got to know the vet, Melissa, better. She came to see Alfred at the house and we discovered we lived near-by. She’s a down-to-earth, kind person, a farmer’s wife and mother of two. Her energy was grounding, kind, supportive. She got me set up with daily shots and pills and then she continued supporting Alfred through text messaging. Alfred improved daily. Then, I woke up with Alfred’s scour symptoms. Melissa supported me through navigating care for myself. Alfred is much better. He pranced around the yard this morning with the goat, Molly. Is that a miracle? For the last several days, I got to experience my husband and my dear friends, Debra and Nancy supporting Alfred and me in our illness. Is that a miracle? I met a vet that I adore and admire. Is that perhaps part of the miracle? I got several days being physically unproductive finding a measure of empathy for others dealing with intestinal issues and I’m sure there is more miracles, big and small, happening that I haven’t discovered yet, but I keep looking for them because it’s fun! At Crow Moon Healing, we pray for miracles! ************************************************ Up coming events at Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast Healing the Red Thread: An Ancestral Healing Workshop The weekend of June 22-23, 2019 Crow Moon Healing • 6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, WI The genetics passed down to us from our ancestors determine the color of our eyes and hair.

I closed my eyes and took a moment to breath. While I was gone to pick up my grandson, his birthday gift was delivered by the Fed-ex man and put on the porch. Molly Marie, the ambitious goat, took the package, broke it open, then opened the puzzle box, took the puzzle pieces and sprinkled them from their plastic bag in a small area in front of the garage. The floor sized puzzle of the solar system, Finn’s latest obsession, looked like it came from the free box at a garage sale, as some of the pieces were wet, others mauled and some had missing chunks. Well happy birthday. It’s frustrating sometimes with Molly, but I had an opportunity to practice forgiveness. We’ve all been hurt, by family, friends, children, spouses and perhaps by furry friends, like Molly. Some of the hurts feel like pin pricks to the heart and other’s like knives to the back. Some hurts feel like sucker punches to the stomach and some like shackles around the ankles. Holding onto the hurt in defense doesn’t work. Sadness, anger, and resentment builds and becomes a heavy burden that we carry with us wherever we go. Holding onto pain ends up blocking us from love. We’ve also hurt others, family, friends, children, spouses and perhaps some furry friends. We hurt with words, actions, absences and miscommunications. The pain we cause can also block us from love as we hold onto the guilt or shame of what we’ve done or said. This too, is a heavy energy to carry and also blocks us from love. Without forgiveness, the energetic heaviness of pain and suffering become our constant companions. Our perspectives on life becomes negative. Holding resentment or shame snowballs and we can really go down a dark and lonely road, not able to be fully present with anyone, especially ourselves. The emotional pain that is carried can be expressed through physical pain and illness. Why do this to ourselves when we can forgive? I’m getting better at recognizing the patterns of behavior that hurt triggers within me. The negative talk in my head, blaming or shaming internally of others or myself, the attempts at isolating myself from people or the “keeping busy” to avoid connection. Eventually, I’m guided to notice my behavior, my internal dialogue and this stuck, yuck energy. I don’t like the feeling or the compounded effects, like strained relationships in other areas of my life or repeated negative experiences. In order to get relief from the agony and pain I begin to consider forgiving. I say “consider” because frankly forgiving someone, especially myself, takes a bit of time and practice. But I know that taking the time to sit with and consider forgiving myself and others will slowly lead to lifting my energetic, emotional and physical being and return me to a state of balance and wellbeing. A state of love. I get closer to forgiveness by praying. First, I pray for help! Short and to the point. “HELP!” I then, eventually, pray to see the situation differently, asking to see the beauty in the pain or the lesson. I also put myself or the other person in the light, seeing that we all are doing the best we can. AND sometimes I just surrender saying, “I forgive you ___________ and I release you to Great Spirit.” This is a practice for me so I repeat and repeat these exercises, sometimes several times daily, noticing the shift from energetic bondage of pain to peace. Why Forgive? I forgive because I want to see the light within myself and other’s. I forgive because the energy of love attracts more love while the energy of resentment and pain leads to more of the same. I forgive to be spiritually, emotionally and physically healthy and connected to the love that is all around. I forgive to free myself from pain. I forgive for my own wellbeing. I do it for me! I forgave Molly, as she was just doing what goats do. I tenderly picked up the puzzle pieces, allowed them to dry and wiped each one. Finn received an early birthday present and we had fun figuring out if we would have all the pieces. We did. All the pieces fit together with a couple of artistic Molly holes and bends. Here at Crow Moon Healing we make a practice of forgiving. ************************************************ Up coming events at Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast Healing the Red Thread: An Ancestral Healing Workshop The weekend of June 22-23, 2019 Crow Moon Healing • 6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, WI The genetics passed down to us from our ancestors determine the color of our eyes and hair.

I woke up the other day to a voice within me saying, “I love you.” It was a rather strange and curious experience. The night before, I had been debating whether or not I should go to the gym to work out. I had plenty of excuses not to go, like the frigid weather but I needed to do cardio to support my health. Doing a workout helps to regulate my blood sugar and I had been praying for support with managing my diabetes. I hadn’t come to any decision about going to the gym before falling asleep, so when I heard this beautiful voice in my head that morning, I wondered, at first, if I was trying to manipulate myself into doing the “right thing”. I decided to explore. I laid in bed, opening myself to the energy. “I love you,” I heard again. “I love you whether or not you go to the gym.” It was not so much the words that I heard within that got my attention, but the energy I felt that came with the words. It was unconditional love, and acceptance. Whether or not I went to the gym to work out did not change my self-worth, I was loved by this energy regardless. I recognized that the tape I normally play in my head, the guilt, shame and judgement about what I should or shouldn’t do, was gone. It was weird! It was wonderful! It was freeing! Something was shifting within that allowed me to feel love for myself without the veil of judgement. I did workout that day, but it wasn’t because I felt obligated to do the right thing, it was because I wanted to, it felt good. I felt amazingly happy with working out! As I reflect on what transpired that morning, I smile. I’ve been actively showing up for my own healing for 7 years and the changes within have brought me to the moment of loving myself unconditionally. At Crow Moon Healing, we understand that the journey to loving oneself is the most important journey of a person’s life. We support this journey through being present with people in a space that is energetically supportive, offering shamanic spiritual healings, and shamanic classes lead by Debra Morrill.

"From a Place of Love" The bunny Booka Boo didn’t appreciate my attempts at coaxing him back to the garage. At first, the rabbit would run up to me when he was roaming but as he got more adventurous, I started getting fearful for him. Molly supported me. She’d chase the bunny leaping and bounding towards the rabbit making Booka frightened. He'd scamper away. I used a broom to assist the bunny to go in direction of the garage door or corner him and pick him up, which worked in the moment but Booka became less trusting of me. Booka proved over and over that he knew how to get back into his safe place in the garage without help, slipping through William’s bedroom door. This little bunny wasn’t afraid to hop his way around and over a 180-pound pig to enter and exit the garage. But because I had chased Booka, he didn’t trust me and if I showed up the bunny would leave the area, even his safe place in the garage, like I was a predator. From a distance, I could observe Booka exploring the area with Greg, the cat, the chicken sisters and even nosing up to Molly, but if I showed up Booka would become wary and nervous. My intentions with Booka was to allow him to explore but keep him safe. BUT my actions with him were driven by fear, rather than love. I meant well but allowing fear to drive my actions backfired. An opportunity for growth had shown itself. I became aware of a repeated pattern of behavior in my life. I’ve parented in the same manor. Not wanting my children to be unsafe, I parented from the place of fear and at times it backfired. My adult children are forgiving. We’ve talked through mom’s unsuccessful, fearful, parenting techniques and although they appreciate my intentions behind the behavior, it wasn’t helpful or supportive for them. I decided to open myself up to the energy of love, rather than fear with Booka. As the days passed I trusted what Booka was showing me. Booka would explore when it felt right to him, but when it rained or snowed, he stayed in his safe place. I discovered that Booka was forgiving. I could eventually open the top of his house and feed him without him bolting. As I met him outside adventuring I would be calm and still and he wouldn’t hop off. Perhaps, there is something to this shifting of energy. Let 2019 be the year where it is natural to act towards ourselves and others from a place of “Love” rather than from a place of “Fear”. Upcoming Events at Crow Moon Healing.... 1) TWO-DAY BASIC SHAMANISM WORKSHOP - JANUARY 5-6, 2019 This class is a great way to develop intuitive skills and learn to journey and receive information directly from Spirit! Connecting with Divine Spirit through Shamanism A two-day basic shamanism workshop Saturday, January 5, 2019 • 9 am - 9 pm Sunday, January 6, 2019 • 9 am - 4 pm Crow Moon Healing • 6472 Breunig Road, rural Mazomanie, WI From the beginning of time, indigenous cultures on every continent shared a shamanic spiritual view. Our forebears lived close to the earth, deeply in tune with her cycles and seasons, the elements and nature. In this connection, they found their spirituality. They believed that every living being had a spirit - not just people, but also animals, trees, stones and plants. They commonly traveled into the spirit realm to communicate and interact with power animals, spirit guides and nature spirits. Through exploring the basics of shamanism, we can rekindle our connection to the divine and develop our ability to communicate directly with Spirit to receive guidance on our spiritual path. This is a foundational class for future shamanic workshops. In this two-day experiential workshop, we will: • gain comfort with accessing divine wisdom through the shamanic journey and explore the shamanic realms by journeying to the Lower and Upper Worlds • meet a power animal and a spirit teacher to serve as guides in the spirit world • practice a method of divination with natural objects and connect with nature spirits • participate in a fire ceremony to release and transform energy • experiment with the shamanic sounds of drumming and rattling Fee: $330 with early registration by December 27 -OR- $375 after December 27 Meals included in the workshop fee: snacks, lunch on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday and lunch on Sunday. Dinner on Saturday evening is potluck style before the evening fire ceremony. Basic lodging is available on-site for Saturday evening at no extra charge. There are a variety of beds, air mattresses and sofas available. Or bring a tent and camp.

It brings about lasting growth and personal transformation. It is designed for: * those who want to use shamanic techniques for their personal healing journey -OR- * those who are drawn to shamanism to deepen their connection with Spirit -OR- * those who wish to begin a shamanic healing practice (formal or informal) or to fold shamanic healing techniques into an existing alternative health practice (such as massage or reiki) Walking the medicine wheel is a way of shedding old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us. When the unhealed wounds of the past are brought out into the light for healing, deep transformation results. In doing this work, we embody more of our True Self. Shamans are often referred to as "wounded healers." In combining a training program along with personal healing work, we make medicine out of our past. Healing ourselves restores harmony to our being, allows us to practice the work with integrity and compassion, and prepares us for being of service to others. "The Shamanic Path" training program meets 10 weekends over 2.5 years - one weekend every three months. It begins February 1-3, 2019, and takes place at Crow Moon Healing Bed & Breakfast in rural Sauk City, WI. The base price of each weekend is $440 (which includes lodging and breakfast). Each weekend begins Friday evening with opening circle at 7 pm and runs through Sunday afternoon with closing circle at 4 pm. This training program is appropriate for intermediate experience levels.

I have a tendency to want situations to go in a certain direction. I admit, I like to control outcomes. Allowing things to be what they are and not pushing, coercing, or manipulating my agenda is a new practice for me. I’ve had lots of opportunities to accept people and situations for what they are, but I’m a slow learner. William has supported my education in this area... William turned around, ignoring my calls. It was too dam cold for a walk he grunted. I hoped he’d change his mind. I continued a slow meander along the wood trail with a bouncy goat climbing the fallen trees like an Olympic gymnast. I called periodically trying to coax the pig, “Come on, Come on, Come on.” Greg, the cat and the chicken sister's started to follow at first, but all abandoned the idea. It was cold and windy. It was just Molly Marie and me today. The goat was ready to do something, anything really, as she becomes bored with William’s long periods of hibernation in cold weather. The farther we walked away from the garage and William though, the less enthusiastic Molly became. Her comfort is in being a herd and although Molly sees me as the lead goat, William is also an important member. Like a deer, alert, listening for danger, Molly paused, raised her head and scoped out the area craning her neck towards the path behind us. She was apprehensive without the pig. Her alliance was torn. I thought about returning back to the garage and directing William to come for the walk. That’s what you do with dogs anyways. You have them come when you say, “Come”. But my relationship with the pig has developed differently. William is an intelligent, sensitive animal. He taught me that forcing your will on another being causes distrust and trauma. In order to get William’s trust and cooperation, he needs to willingly participate in activities. I learned this when William was two months old. I had attempted to put a harness on the piggy and lead him with a leash. My agenda was to leash train William, like the pigs on the internet and then have him visit my mother in the nursing home. This, in my mind, would make my mother happy. With as much patience as I could muster, I cleverly got the harness on the pig a few times, using lots of treats. Even with treats William was very hesitant with the idea. I got the harness on and off a couple times a day for several days, then I went to adding the leash. I got away with walking him a bit with a leash when traversing the driveway until the day William wanted to go a different direction and he was halted with a tug. That‘s the day I found that pigs can jump straight up and their screams can make your ears want to bleed. He fought and screamed for only seconds, wiggling himself out of the harness and rushing away from me quickly. He was traumatized! It took days for him to recover any small amount of trust in me. If William could of spoke then, he would of asked, “Why? Why would you tie me up? Isn’t it enough that I come when I’m called and walk with you and Walter? Now you want to tie me up and drag me?” I was crushed! I was horrified at what I had done to William, my piggy. I was back to square one as far as trust with him went. Then, when I thought of my intention with the pig, I became disappointed that my pig would not be prancing into the nursing home on a leash, making my mother and her resident friends smile. It became obvious to me that when I got William, I had put expectations on him. I had thought I’d make him into one of those cutsey facebook pigs that were all cool with acting like dogs. He’d be a show piggy at the nursing home! But that’s not the pig I got. I had a smart and friendly pig that had autonomy the size of a Great Dane. William knew who he was and didn’t like to be pushed into doing anything cutsey. Once he got over the trauma and was ready to listen, I apologized to my piggy several times for my behavior. As goofy as it sounds I sat next to William, feeding him his favorite treats, Charlie Bears , explaining what had caused me to do what I had done. I shared my grand plan of him visiting the nursing home. In hind sight, since I was going to end up talking with a pig anyways, I probably should have talked to him about it before I scared him half to death. Perhaps the whole thing would of went differently. Yep, communication is important! I remember his response clearly. “Karen, I’m no show pony, “he said. “Bring your mother here to meet me and I’ll be a good piggy. But don’t treat me like that ever again!” It was then that I accepted William for who he was and released my projection of what having a pig, like William, would look like. I learned that William was an individual, and he had preferences. When I embraced the truth William shared and decided I’d rather have a pig who feels safe, loved and respected then a show pony, no disrespect to the show pony piggies on facebook, our relationship has become deeper. I allow William to choose what he wants to do with most things, except no going to visit the neighbor’s horses or the other neighbor’s garden. He’s pretty good about it, only pushing those limits about once or twice a year. Each time I go for a walk, I invite William to come along, calling his name and then announcing what I’m doing, then allow, if he chooses to follow along, it’s wonderful! I feel blessed. If he chooses not to, I sit with accepting his choice. So, for this day, William had said, “No” to the walk. Molly and I took the side trail back around to the apple tree on the west side of the house cutting the walk short. I called out to William letting him know we we’re returning. Molly rushed to the yard calling out to her friend with goat bleats. William, hearing us, peeked around the corner of the house to meet us. We returned to the heated garage as a unit. The chickens followed us in. I gave the entourage some corn for a treat. Having William in my life has turned into a practice of releasing control of outcomes and accepting others for who they are. Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast is all about "Accepting Others." **************************************************************************** Upcoming Events at Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast 1) "Connecting with Divine Spirit through Shamanism" A two-day basic shamanism workshop led by Debra Morrill January 5th and 6th 2019 Saturday, January 5th from 9am-9pm Sunday, January 6th from 9am- 4pm From the beginning of time, indigenous cultures on every continent shared a shamanic spiritual view.

I’m tired, but I can’t sleep decent, I worry about things instead of being open and curious, and I tend to lack confidence in myself and others. Being out of balance happens for me when I over commit my time and energy. Sometimes, a difficult event can knock me off my balancing practice, like a loss of a loved one or a life change. Other times, I actually think that I’m doing OK with the opportunities life is sending me, but slowly, I can feel my energy draining. I start feeling out-of-sorts. I become impatient and irritable. If I ignore those symptoms and neglect to take time to “Balance” myself, a low-grade depression can set in. Although, it’s not always convenient, when I feel “out of balance”, I have a need to slow things down, clear the calendar a bit and do the things that fill me up. Everyone has their own unique way of bringing themselves back into balance, for me, it’s spending time with my furry friends. Whether I’m cleaning pens, giving William a good scratching, walking the posse in the woods and fields or lounging around, being with my animals brings me back into " A Balanced" state. Discovering activities that bring a sense of peace and well-being in our lives helps us with our "Balancing Act”. **************************************************************************** Upcoming Events at Crow Moon Healing Bed and Breakfast 1) "Connecting with Divine Spirit through Shamanism" A two-day basic shamanism workshop led by Debra Morrill November 17-18 2018 Saturday, November 17 from 9am-9pm Sunday, November 18 from 9am-4pm From the beginning of time, indigenous cultures on every continent shared a shamanic spiritual view.

She was more than disappointed to discover that I don't share my internet service with guests.
She wasn't interested in staying up by the fire and enjoying the stars, she wanted to be on her phone. "People come here to unplug," I offered to the sad girl. The next morning Adelyn was up bright and early, bored already before the day began. Finally, she asked, "What does unplug mean?" "It means to take a break from internet, telephone and TV," I explained. She sat in a chair across from me and sighed. I suggested we go see what the animals were up to and she was bored enough that she decided to come along. The pig, goat and chickens were all in the yard foraging. I showed my friend where the treats were and she used the treats to become acquainted with the crew. William, whose normally a bit shy with kids, became smitten with the girl, even allowing her to put an arm around him in a gentle hug. Adelyn's energy shifted as she began talking and connecting with the animals gathered around her. "William you're my friend," she crooned to the portly porker. My heart expanded as I witnessed this magical moment of a young girl unplugging and being in the moment. I invite you to come and "unplug" with us at Crow Moon Healing!
