IN BETWEEN TIMES

OCTOBER 2025

Sometimes we are waiting to become

The world is turning

The trees somewhere between yellow and green

and our hearts reaching out to regain balance

The old is departing, the new is arriving

but right now we are here

in a moment of held breath

We cannot go back, nor race on too fast

We stand here, and do our best

to listen more deeply to what is growing

** SHAMANIC INSPIRATION:

At the turning points of the year, in the changing of the seasons, we are invited to pause and look at where we have been and where we are going. 

What is with you right now? What is in you? What do you need to let go of? What do you need to begin to build more of?

Being in an in-between place can sometimes feel unsettling, as if things are not one thing or another. But these pauses hold a lot of promise and potential when we stay with them. 

Here in the North, we - like the trees, the frogs, the plants, the insects - are getting ready to slow down. 

Change is inevitable. How we dance with it is what matters. 

When we work together with the Spirits and the Living World, we can find our way in more rewarding and inspiring ways. 

We hope these intentions, for a journey or medicine walk, will help you to experience this for yourself:

• How can I listen more deeply to change in the World around me?  
  
  
• What do I need to pay attention to at this in-between time?
  
  
• Ask for help to dance with change

Wishing you Beauty as you Walk
