My dear friend Emelyn is ready for her quantum leap ~ help us raise the money she needs to be fully immersed in raising the collective vibration through art, song and heart centered awareness. Here’s a letter from our beloved Emmy:

“ Seeking Sanctuary : A Heartfelt Call for Support

dear beloved community ,

here is a Letter from the Threshold

i write to you from raw vulnerability in a season of deep grief and emergence ; a tender and liminal place in my life — one that has been shaped by the powerful rivers of profound grief , mystical initiation and a soft but steady call in embodiment of truest dreams with reverence and trust

i write to you with a heart broken open .

on february 13th my mother died suddenly ( though she had been meeting medical challenges for years ) ; transitioning my daughterhood , and thus i have been walking through the sacred fire of grief — navigating the death of my beloved mother . her transition has marked the deepest initiation of my life .

i am in a threshold moment — a raw and real one .

this past year has held many layers :

a powerful soul heart calling led me to move to oregon from philadelphia last summer , a leap i love and feel is so divinely timed & aligned .

i packed my belongings and cross-country traveled with a dear one & landed in portland with such an affirming “i feel at home here” coursing through and as me . i quickly fell in love with the land & the spirit of the pacific northwest , something continually whispers this is home , it just settles so naturally in my whole essence ~ awe struck i immersed and with ever tuning deeper listening dove into my communion with the land & became a part of the song and art community with such dear soul family & continuously feel the nourishment it offers .

my parents moving from my childhood home into an apartment & my mother’s declining health (( hospitalizations and nursing rehabilitation longer term stays )) brought me back east repeatedly after moving west & my last visit before her death i stayed for a month until she was cleared to return home .

i flew back to oregon where in two weeks i answered the call and made my way to colorado (( a land that has held me time and time again through huge transitions )) for my first sufi retreat with my teacher and entered into the mountains with no cell service and a heart nourished open in fuller love and embodiment of this love bringing me to the other side of this third week since leaving philadelphia moment where on the last day of this transformative sufi retreat in colorado & on the exact last day of a 40 day ganesha sadhana i began with dear sister friends , my moms heart stopped and she entered a coma and was almost completely brain dead ; she was put on life support .

i got on the soonest plane i could from colorado to philadelphia and returned to my hometown , but this time everything was different and so i entered it as such ~ i got to hold her hand & sing to her as she crossed fully when we took her off life support — i held my ear to her chest and heard her last heartbeat and witnessed her take her last breath here as eirinn

~ ~ so i intentionally entered a pause period to tend my close family through her final days & to support // be supported by my father & community in this deep initiation of loss and love as we move through the dissolving and renewal .

shortly afterward within the time space of tending to what’s alive here in philadelphia with this loss & metamorphosis i found another death : a dissolution of the home and partnership i was building in oregon . this uprooted my sense of home even more (( that i hold faith is divinely timed & is very challenging )) ~ cast to the spirit of guidance ; the sacred winds , i began to navigate this tender disentanglement of shared dreams in partnership as i also navigate what feels like constant motion~ physically , emotionally , and spiritually . these deaths have brought me into — a healing chamber .

these months have held multi-layered grief , heartbreak and soul unfurl . i’ve been navigating survival mode even amidst the beauty of community showing up to support . i’ve been tending to family and tended to by family through this grief . i am eternally grateful for all the care & love present through this all . and , i trust .

i’ve been living with my dad in the city while navigating this loss . letting there be a sacred pause while holding my creative practice , spiritual devotion and nervous system with as much care as possible . letting the fullness of these deaths be here ; so i released all structured work to honor this time .

the grief has been oceanic : swimming through a sacred unraveling — opening to a situated strength gifted from her to me , tending ancestral grief and resilience through answering a call to return to the Earth , to beauty , to belonging & togetherness . . . and within it , a quiet clarity has always been there : i am being called to embody and imbue all of life as / with / through purpose , mission and joy . my moms spirit keeps showing me joy to be a key part . opening me to more fully enter the heart & live on the true dream awake & share together . it has awakened in me a steadfastness in an ever deepening calling to live , create and serve in right relationship with Spirit , Earth and community .

in this liminal space of intentional pause there’s a voice that has remained steady of how important oregon is to me and now i can feel it’s time ; thankfully having had space to move slowly with this hometown visit in response to death .

this voice of my soul nudges — heart fully and urgently — to return to oregon — i can feel it’s time to fly west . . . and so to oregon i am orienting & preparing for— to land , rest , root , and rise and build from the ground of love ~ to be held by the trees and moss and waters & to allow the dream that led me to the pacific northwest in the first place to blossom from well nourished roots

here now in emergence i regenerate ~ i reweave and share in my path of service through art , ritual prayer and love . this moment is not just a transition — it is a pilgrimage of soul-aligned livelihood.

my mother’s death has opened a portal within me . awakening deeper layers of my spiritual path , my artistic calling and my (our) belonging in sacred reciprocity with the land and with community . i am choosing to meet this grief with reverence and creativity — letting it guide me home . . . here

this is a reclamation of life after // from // through loss . a tending the garden of the path , letting the seeds grow strong as a devotional artist , a channel for beauty , a vessel of healing presence . . .

i don’t yet have all the answers. i’m discerning housing & grounding income & a softening into a new supportive rhythm of life within fresh grief . what i do have is a devotion to living in alignment with the sacred thru sharing this as everything . what i do have is deep listening . what i do have is the gift of creativity and prayerful service . what i do have is trust in the field of love we weave together .

so i am asking — with honesty , humility and great faith — for your support as i make this transition

within an open heart , i invite your witness and support as i navigate this sacred threshold of transition

⸻

support in moving my belongings with care —

my belongings remain with a dear being. this place , once a home , is no longer accessible in the same way . the fracture of the partnership dissolving makes this a space i cannot return to live in

i need help navigating the logistical terrain of moving my things .

i need help with packing , transport , storing my things in portland and eventually moving them into home

i can see a few options here and open to your creative ideas :

sacred assistance from soul family for packing for me while i’m on the east coast

storage space ; either with you or moving to a storage unit where i’ll retrieve from when i land

a vehicle for moving to storage // place of dwelling // transporting items either before and/or when i arrive

️carpooling to enable local mobility once i return

i don’t have a car or a driver’s license ( yet — i’m actively working to get my license within the next two months ) and would deeply appreciate help getting around , running errands // carpooling

( currently in nw portland ) : kitchenware , art supplies + easel , harp , journals/books , altar items , bedding , clothing and such kinda things . no large furniture — to storage and / or into home

ཐི♡ཋྀ

a soft sanctuary , grounded living space in oregon —

a short-term sanctuary soft landing space upon arrival — a nourishing pause before entering a longer-term community living space

i am seeking funds to afford // support for an initial airbnb or quiet soft place to arrive to when i return (( a home )) where i can stay in temporarily to recover and create

ideally at least a month :: in a nurturing home :: a studio , retreat space , a guesthouse , a yurt , a retreat cabin , a sacred sublet . . . that holds beauty , light and peace

i am asking for support in finding & funding such a space

sharing as an opening to a haven that honors this threshold

in a natural light filled environment of beauty

through nourishing health vibrancy + a nurturing kitchen

encouraging music : song creation & sharing + harp practice

solace for creative expression as i create art in truth & in peace

— ideally surrounded by trees , water ( a bath / natural water to bathe in ) , flowers and the spirit of stillness : quiet , creative and soul-nourishing :: a true sanctuary space :

i am ready to give and receive in reciprocity

and offer my gifts in service to love and life .

this will be space for me to orient to land in a shared community house that honors sacred connection , music , life as ceremony , plant-based living and mutual responsibility .

for now , i need rest ; a soft sanctuary landing place

⟡꧁ ♡ ꧂⟡

️ connections to housing & heart-based community —

dear beloveds of oregon ,

i am infusing this with an ask for leads + introductions to land stewards in longer-term intentional housing rooted in shared values of beauty , love , co-creation and spirit reverence

longer term : i’m visioning joyfully being a part of a shared living space nourished from the roots of :

sacred connection & community care tending in shared responsibility

with a focus on land-tending-honoring & land connection reciprocity; a place to get our hands in the dirt and garden as prayer as essential ; whether it's eco-village life , cooperative housing or shared space with like-hearted beings

plant-based , earth-honoring nourishment :: i love to make all kinds of nourishment from scratch & sharing

power of music & song circles

‍creative energy + devotional art

‍respect for healing and intentional ceremony and altar space

soft natural light , joy and warmth

a place to live into my offerings , our gifts

a place where we are nourished & nourishing ; a place where i can nourish and be nourished

in nature : with the trees and flowers & singing with the birds and bees & walking barefoot on the earth & gardens to tend and enjoy directly outside the front door . i envision a life of making and tending art ; the muse of the goddess herself : giving thanks for this brilliant life

this is not just a move . this is a reclamation of life after loss . a re-seeding and strengthening the soil of my walk of the path as a devotional artist , a channel of beauty & a vessel of healing presence . to walk the beauty way , cobuild sanctuary and offer the fruits of spirit-led work to the collective . i’m here to share the creative and spiritual channel i am ~ in offer in honor of this unfolding path
