Lately, I’ve been noticing something about myself.
I’m very open to ideas like consciousness existing beyond the body, intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and even the possibility that celestial events carry meaning.
And yet…
I feel a quiet unease when someone tells me they trust a self-driving car more than a human being.
That tension has stayed with me.
It’s made me reflect on how much is changing, how quickly it’s all moving—and how essential discernment has become in this moment we’re living through.
Not all beliefs ask the same thing of us. Some invite wonder, imagination, and a deeper sense of connection. Others ask us to stay present, engaged, and responsible.
And wisdom, I’m realizing, isn’t about believing everything—or shutting down what’s new. It’s about staying awake. Listening inward. And making conscious choices from a place of awareness rather than urgency or fear.
The future doesn’t ask us to hand over our awareness. It asks us to trust ourselves. That, to me, feels like the real initiation of this era.
And it’s the work I’ve devoted my life to—helping people slow down, tune in, and remember their inner authority through ritual, reflection, and sacred pause.

We are approaching the Solstice. The Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. A true turning point. A moment when the light shifts—and we are invited to do the same.
There are just 15 days left in 2025, and rather than rushing toward what’s next, I invite you to end this year consciously, with intention, clarity, and care.
Over the coming days, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite rituals on Instagram and Facebook to help you mark this threshold.
And if you’d like to go deeper, I’d love to hold space for you in one of these upcoming gatherings.
With warmth,
Barbara
