The final missing piece of my father’s planning wasn't something he could have given us; it was a path I had to find for myself. I was left with questions: How do I stay connected to him now? How do I navigate and release this grief? These are questions I also ask currently as I navigate my mom's disease.
I have always found my sanctuary in nature. My earliest memories are of being outside, rooted in the earth. It was that lifelong connection to the natural world that led me to the work of Day Schildkret and Morning Altars. Finding this work felt like coming home. I am honored to share that I was selected as part of the 7th Morning Altars Practitioner Cohort.
This practice is about creating temporary, nature-based rituals that help us process transition, honor legacy, and find a way to speak when words aren't enough. It is a way to stay connected to the ones we love and to the spirit that moves through all things. These rituals offer a way to navigate the seasons of change with beauty and intention.
