Hola Beloved Wildling friend!!!
This new moon was directly opposite my natal Sun. Gemini season is my annual low point. Do you notice cycles like these in your life?
My energy has been focused on my pup’s sterilization surgery and recovering from her body slamming me and cracking a rib (pre-surgery). I guess that makes this the letter theme song: I fall to pieces from the one and only Patsy Cline
I always tell folks there is no behind, but I definitely feel out of sorts and it’s made completions challenging. So I’m keeping this Dragon Letter brief.
For all those eagerly awaiting the release of the Befriending Time course, please give me a bit of grace. Vale la pena (it’s worth it). It’s coming…
I’ve got a Summer Special, and What I loved from TikTok this week below that… Enjoy your Summer Solstice!
Stay wild, love fiercely. Your presence is golden.

And because I had so much fun creating the 52-page Stellar Synergy Communing with the Planets Ritual teachings book, I’m going to include the Ritual book and a group session in July on personalizing Stellar Synergy with your chart for anyone that books a reading this week.
This teaching was some of my best synthesis of Flow and how we can be in greater relationships with the archetypes of the planets. See Anne-Marie’s praise below…
Praise for Stellar Synergy
Stellar Synergy [a core teaching in Wild Presence] with Ixchel is mind-blowing. In it, they share their synthesis of Flow activators, neurochemicals, and the energy of the luminaries (planets, Sun and moon) and help us see ways to apply that knowledge to our creativity, Flow cycles, and body of work, honing our awareness of where colonial time derails us and helping us protect Flow Time (hint: daily composting helps!). Just brilliant.
The course connected so many dots for me. Ixchel’s resources are vast and they share generously. The music they gathered for the luminaries is WOW. The astro apps and archetypes, and the vast wisdom from lived experience and practice, are so helpful.
A tangible and immediate result for me is that this is the first time in years of classes and readings with both western and vedic astrologers that I’ve been inspired to actually meet my astrology chart. To print it, look at it, learn it, and hear what it has to say to me. In that way, I learned that a key piece of my work – the wild feminine – is right there in my chart! And the learnings continue.
While before, I was waiting and hoping that someone else would tell me what my chart says (and by extension who I am), this course with Ixchel opened my capacity for a direct relationship with the luminaries. I’m so excited now to be learning my chart for the first time and reflecting on how it’s played out in my life. Of course guidance helps – what’s a yod? – but Ixchel’s wealth of wisdom, intuition, and guidance in this course opened the door for me to apply myself to understanding it without an intermediary.
That personal relationship is HUGE. I’m going slow and letting slowness be okay. I feel a friendliness with Time and the luminaries. Just as years ago I expanded my capacity for a relationship with nature and the Earth, now I’m feeling the expansion of a relationship with the luminaries, too. I’ve always loved starlight, moonlight, and water. Now I can FEEL them in my life. How could we be lonely, with so many friends? Such a beautiful course, and it’s still working me. Thank you, Ixchel!

What I loved from TikTok this week
If these TikToks don’t help you get on the good side of TikTok,you can’t be helped… 😉
To continue with the mycelium ancestor wisdom from the last Dragon Letter… Mycelium Time, “you are passing gossip between trees.”
Indigenous elder talks about knowing the universe through knowing our bodies. “The Creator vibrates in the mineral. Rises in the vegetal. Walks in the animal. Reasons in the Human. But in a more advanced level, now they intuit and is filled with Wisdom. In that being, who is now a whole human being.”
For when we’re having inter-relational challenges (aka being alive): Who you are is not your identity, it’s how you’re being.
Great declutter question to ask yourself.

Your Sanctuary to Cultivate Wild Presence for Thriving with a Planet in Transition
I was raised and bore children on the traditional, unceded, and stolen lands of the Coast and Central Valley Miwok (colonized as Petaluma, CA) and Nisenan (colonized as Sacramento and Fair Oaks, CA), past, present, and future. I also write, work, and live in the highland forest of the traditional, unceded and stolen lands of the Totonac, Nahua, and Mexicah, past, present, and future, in what is known as Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico.
P.P.S. I do not live or consent to the colonial impositions regarding the construct of Time. I also practice honoring rhythms of work, play, and rest so that I can serve you with embodied presence and with loving care. This means I may take several days to respond to your requests and questions. (h/t Eva Glamaris)
