ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

By Marilyn Steele|2016-06-21T03:15:37-05:00June 21st, 2016|Blog|

This second full moon in Sagittarius in a month, and on the same day as the Summer Solstice, is a rare occurrence and powerful portal. The last time a Full Moon fell on the Solstice was 1967. The midst of the love revolution. This time around, with the powerful energies of Sagittarius, we are encouraged to shoot the moon. Do something we would do only once in a blue moon. Something special, beautiful, and bold. Something magical. Sagittarius asks: What is your deepest truth? What matters the most to you? Two nights ago [...]

ON HER WAY: WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP AND WILD MIND

By Marilyn Steele|2015-07-26T23:02:46-05:00July 26th, 2015|Blog|

ON HER WAY Another world is not only possible, She is on Her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. Arundhati Roy Last week, walking on a dirt path along the Marina, lost in thought about my mother and her lost voice, her buried dreams, I almost stepped on a snake. Brown and rust red, it had slid half way out of the dry grasses and onto the path where I stopped just short, maybe a foot away. We were both startled, still for a moment, until the snake made [...]

FIRE UP YOUR DREAMS FOR MAY DAY!

By Marilyn Steele|2015-04-28T20:10:52-05:00April 28th, 2015|Women and Leadership|

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal Rumi Many mornings this winter I was waking up between 3-5 a.m., with rushes of fear spreading across my collarbone and down the insides of my arms. I have hated it. And really resented being woken up so early, in the dark. I tried all the coping strategies I could think of: Prayer. Chants. Mantras. Swearing. Sometimes I would get up and read. Or [...]

A WILD AWAKENING: SOLAR ECLIPSE, SUPERMOON AND SPRING

By Marilyn Steele|2015-03-21T03:52:51-05:00March 21st, 2015|Blog|

A WILD AWAKENING: SOLAR ECLIPSE, SUPERMOON AND SPRING I sat in my car today under a fragrant plum blossom tree which showered the pavement with white celebratory confetti, listening to the Ira Glass radio program “This American Life” on women in science. March is Women’s History month, and so much of our amazing, accomplished history needs to be resurrected. In the radio interview, three authors of books and a documentary on several brilliant discoverers and explorers told of the woman who first mapped the ocean, an astronomer who found new galaxies, the first [...]

COME ALIVE ! POWER A NEW DREAM

By Marilyn Steele|2014-08-10T22:31:39-05:00August 10th, 2014|Women and Leadership|

Every morning I take my grandson to practice walking in the sand of the Marina, watching the dabbling ducks, Canadian geese, chortling pigeons, black and white stilts with their brilliant orange legs. Scout especially loves the pigeons. Perhaps it is the majestic sweeps they make overhead, or their constant cooing, or the magical iridescent colors of their neck feathers. Monday as we walked I found myself singing “When the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars. Then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars. This [...]

Tell a New, Wild Story – Map a New, Wild World

By Marilyn Steele|2014-06-20T21:27:54-05:00June 20th, 2014|Book, Women and Leadership|

We live and create, ourselves and our world, by the stories we tell. We need the true stories of women and the deep dreams of the wild and sacred Feminine to orient and guide us. It is time to recapture history and reclaim a stolen legacy.We are looking for new lands. We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains. [...]

Yellow Rose

Feminine power, focus, self love and freedom blossoming at the Crossroads

Crossroads: New Story of Self, New Map for the World

By Marilyn Steele|2014-04-23T03:40:42-05:00April 23rd, 2014|Blog|

It is very windy today, the new green leaves shimmering with light, white blossoms cartwheeling along the street. The very air is heavy with fragrance of freesia, roses, orange blossoms, daffodils. The Earth herself celebrating this Earth Day, expressing her beautiful, bountiful self. The wind is almost like a roar, a call, and I am reminded of Arundhati Roy’s hopeful message: “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” The yellow rose in its spiral unfolding makes me happy, calls [...]

SHINE! WE ARE THE ONES, NOW IS THE TIME

By Marilyn Steele|2013-12-17T22:14:49-06:00December 17th, 2013|Blog|

Early this morning, I woke to the luminous full moon shining in my bedroom window. A circle of pinkish, pale green set it like a jewel, reflected in the feathery canopy of white clouds. My sleep interrupted, I was able to recall the last scene of dream I was having:A dark haired woman steps up to the microphone on the small raised platform. We are surprised she speaks for herself and doesn’t have a professional public relations representative. She is the wife of a race car driver, holding court off to one side [...]

PrimeTime Revival

By Marilyn Steele|2013-08-08T02:05:32-05:00August 8th, 2013|Blog|

It is still summer, and in California we have a usually warm Indian summer to look forward to in September and October. Outside my window, tribes of red finches and swirls of hummingbirds zoom around my neighbor's bird feeders, dabble in the climbing jasmine, the tall tufts of scarlet penstemon. This is a time of abundance and creativity for the Earth. Perhaps a very good time to pay attention to our bodies, our vitality, our health. Many people ask me what in the world I have done this year, to lose almost 40 [...]
