Almost four years ago while on a personal retreat in Sedona I found myself standing at a sand/stone threshold somewhere between my past and my future.
I can tell you the moment I knew that a seed had been planted. Somehow, someway I was going to be intuitively creating and constructing a Walking Wheel for prayer, dialogue, contemplation, awareness and divine connection. It was a big dream but one I have held on to with my whole heart.
Last night under a beautiful Gemini New Moon, this incredible group of women showed up for me in ways bigger, deeper, vulnerable, beautiful and filled with so much more love than I could have ever imagined.
There was a moment as they were all standing in the Wheel when I literally got to be in the center of my dream and witness it becoming a reality.
There are no words big enough to explain ny gratitude.
The Wheel at Quiet Creek is finally open and available for guided Intuitive Reflective Journeys.
After almost four years of planning, praying, meditating and ultimately trusting, I am finally taking appointments for you to experience The Wheel at Quiet Creek.
Soon I will be sharing all the info for group, individual and practitioner offering experiences but in the meantime, I hope you'll scroll the photos and see what it looks like when a tiny seed of intention is given the space, faith and place it needs to become exactly what it was intended to be. (And so much more)
To the ladies who joined me for this incredible experience, my heart is over-flowing.

Ok...so let me get this straight...
The entire area around and leading up to the Wheel is now flooded.
The air conditioning in the Cottage shop has decided it no longer wants to live.
You have a mountain of things to do at the Cottage shop but the temperature INside is officially higher than it is OUTside...
What's a girl to do?
Crying is definetely an option.
So is whipping up a delicious batch of ice cold Bead Soup.
If you need me I'll be filling bags of beaded bliss.
Available at the shop soon.
Stay cool my lovelies!
Bright blessings,
Heather

Hello lovely! Will you walk with me for a bit?
I decided not to add any background music to this video. I think sometimes we forget what it feels like to be fully present for the beautiful soundtrack of a life being truly lived.
A walk within the Wheel asks you to pay attention; to lean in.
It asks you to pay attention to the sound of your own footsteps.
Listen.
You are here.
That matters.
What you're looking for isn't found OUT there or in dead silence.
It lives in the sound of your heart beating and sacred breath leaving and returning to your body.
It is a blessing.
It is a gift.
It is divine.

The Wheel is not a labyrinth.
It is a sort of sacred mirror.
Every rock is an intentional and carefully curated reflection; perhaps an invitation.
It is a dialogue.
But the only way you can truly "see" and hear all that is being reflected back to you is by choosing to be present for your journey.
The sound of cars in the background?
That's real life.
Breathe.
Piles of things to do.
Yup.
Breathe.
Someone offended you two years ago and you still hear their words being played on endless "repeat" in your head?
Listen to your heartbeat.
Breathe.
Walk.
Pay attention to the stones beneath your feet.
They are whispering.

I was worried about the road "noise" for a while. Then one morning when there was nothing but me, my own thoughts and the singing birds in the background I realized that the voice in my head was louder and far more intrusive than any truck tires on pavement could ever be.
That's part of the magic of the Wheel.
It's one of the reasons it matters so much.
The more intentional your walk, the quieter it becomes. The noise out there seems to fade away.
When you decide to be present for the sights, sounds and feelings that are a part of your journey here at the Wheel, I think you might be surprised at the wisdom, re-membering and reflection that is waiting for you.
See you soon!
Bright blessings,
Heather
