Los Angeles I love you ~ you are the city of Angels, hawks, mountains, and ocean, millions of humans, native plants, animals, bugs, lizards, freeways, smog, and extremes of wealth and poverty.
My home for 15 years.
This is the place where I began a relationship with hawks, which is weird bc I was born and grew up out in the c**t (the country lol) and spent so much time with my grandmother on the 100 acre nudist camp where she lived for decades. But here in LA in the Hollywood Hills, where I landed in 2010, is how I came to know hawks! 𓅃
I used to look up at them and ask if I could have a feather. One had already been gifted to me by a Native friend, tucked inside a book called Earth Medicine, given to me just before I moved here. I brought them both with me and I still have them.
𓅃 I share this because it’s inseparable from my work as a spiritual counselor. 𓅃
I know I’m a transplant and I do not claim this land. I strive to be in right relationship ~ with place, with lineage, with the Wild Life we exist with. I’m here to listen and steward and to advocate. To remember that this city is alive, in so many ways.
Spiritual counseling, for me, is about helping people remember their place in the web of life ~ their intuition, their body, their grief, their choices, their belonging. It’s about being bridges between inner and outer worlds, spirit and matter, human and earth. And how we get to be Who We Are, where we are.
So much of what I share comes from this devotion ~ to being in relation.
To doing our best.
To seeing that we are all earthlings here.
🪶 Where do you feel most in relationship ~ with yourself, with land, or with the more-than-human world? Where do YOU fit into your life? Tell me in the comments, or tell the next hawk you see 𓅃𓅃𓅃
