Happy almost April Fools Day, Miracles!
There is holiness in mischief.
Humor, jokes, riddles, and puns all work to encourage us to step out of our ordinary ways of perceiving information and relating to others and in so doing often expose us to new ways of seeing and behaving that have the potential to do us much good. April Fool’s puts me in the mind of Trickster, that floppy-tongued, well-endowed, coyote-eared, clown-faced God who is found in the smoky backrooms of every real bar, always on the wrong side of the tracks, and wherever there’s a party to be had or a story to be told.
Trickster is also found, in more than one story, guarding the gates of heaven and you have to answer his riddles before he lets you in. Trickster pads into our lives leaving mud on the kitchen floor and telling us a string of the best dirty jokes. He also teaches us how to plant seeds, tell stories, and wait for the harvest. Above all he encourages us to take a risk, take a chance, try something new. In my family we were taught that when he shows up you perk up your ears and pay attention — for Trickster loves nothing more than to give (sometimes good and sometimes bad) advice. We honor him by listening to what he has to say, laughing at his jokes, telling him a tall tale or two, and above all by doing something we have never done before. And so, to honor Trickster and all that he is, I am doing just that.
Starting tomorrow, April 1st the Miracle Tree Sessions is open for early bird registration — no joke!
You can register and be among the first in the MTS class of 2016 by going here. Best of all, when you take advantage of early bird registration you save over 60% on class tuition!
For those of you who are newer to my work, the Miracle Tree Sessions is the year and a day course for anyone who desires to have a deeper relationship with their spiritual allies, the living land, the liminal world, and the Divine within and without.
It is also the absolute best way to work with me in an ongoing one on one capacity. Over and above that, when you join the Miracle Tree Sessions you become part of one of the richest communities I have ever seen — where every single person offers one another love, support, and inspiration.
