Geese Near Sauk Circle (Detail), photo by Jiri Kvita [Image: FNAL, U.S.D.E.]“Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
~ From “Wild Geese” by Mary Oliver.
Here’s something you may not have known about the wild goose:
This beautiful, peaceful yet fiercely protective (or their fellows and their goslings) bird symbolized the Holy Spirit to the Celts, and perhaps others among our more Nature-honoring ancestors who knew that Life was an ongoing conversation with the many forces and manifestations of life around them.

Big Love and Happy Easter (whatever time of the year it is, something new is rising into life!).
Jamie has long been an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, co-creating a safe, in-person compassionate care environment in a world that increasingly seems to lack that.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the healing power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and healing (or at least understanding) ancestral (and other types of) trauma. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps, and otherwise doing the same day to day things we all do.
