Connecting People with Practices

10/16/2026

Field Notes 🌀🌎📝

We’ve spent the last 2 months deep in the portal of reviewing all the applications for the LAROTA Healing Arts Residency. We’ve been inspired by the range of practices and possibilities shared by practitioners from more than 50 countries around the world.

Questions about the relationship between personal and collective healing, the role of human-led creativity in transforming communities, what gardening, storytelling, and movement might teach us about grief, and how healing can be both accessible and financial viable for the healers.

Here are just a few of the practitioners who have stayed with us and whose inquiries left us imagining what is possible when we take the time to sit with our questions rather than look for answers. 🙏🏻

Rooted in the timeless principles of Ageless Wisdom and shaped by more than 30 years of study in esoteric psychology and solar philosophy, Rita Hraiz is a shamanic guide who believes that we all possess the capacity to awaken - and actually all we have to do is become still enough to allow ourselves to be in that natural innate wisdom state. Through retreats, festivals, workshops and one-on-one sessions, she holds space for people to build the bridge to that innate wisdom, truth, light and love. ✨💕

We spoke about how gossip prevents other people from growing, the role that plant medicine can play in fast-tracking recognition, and why she actually sees the world going in the right direction (and how she is committed to supporting that through simplicity and common sense!) 🙌🏻

During our entire conversation I had this deep sense of being SEEN, a feeling that I am now realizing is perhaps the key to almost everything! I could feel the power that “holding impeccable space” can have and understand why she is known for her Advanced Space Holders Training program.

Read the full conversation through the link in bio and check out her one-day workshop From Karma to Darma, an online discourse and Shamanic Reset this Sunday, October 11th. Sign me up! 🙏🏻

I don’t believe in habits, but I do believe in practice. Take away the pressure, and lean into the process. Remove the motivation and focus on the magic - how taking time to for yourself can actually increase the time you have for others. 🪄

Some things that are helping me feel full this fall.

Fall is here, are you? 🍁

Presence isn’t a place we are traveling to - it’s a return to where we already are.

So this season I am returning to the things that make me feel like myself.

💃Dancing daily
📵Turning off my phone - and I don’t mean just silencing notifications or charging it in another room while I sleep. I’m talking fully shut it off.
📚Making space for study

But I am still feeling more tested by this transition into fall than I thought I would be. I’ve been confronted by how hard it is for me to slow down and how little tolerance I have for other people’s speed as well.

So I decided to revisit my Human Design Blueprint, and was quickly reminded that “I am designed to slow down and not apply a sense of urgency to everything I do.” So actually all the tension Im feeling has less to do with not being able to slow down and more with being out of alignment with my natural state! Somehow no matter how hard we try to figure things out the answers are usually right in front of us - or rather within us.

So I’m practicing slowness this fall, and I invite you to do the same.

Happy fall 🍂 🍎 💕

Loved these words of wisdom shared as a tribute to Dolly in my yoga class this morning by the always incredibly intuitive Tracey Toomey McQuade. Like she knows what you need to hear the minute you hit the mat.

Coming to terms with ourselves isn’t always easy. But what if we said “I will always love you” - to ourselves. The love we often want from others or reserve for others given to the one person who maybe needs it the most - YOU. So that instead of being our own worst critic, we can become the person we love the most, be true to YOU. And then, we can actually give and receive that love to and from others.

Just some thoughts from someone trying to be an anchored, decent human being over here.

Today is the final day to apply for our second Healing Arts Residency, and already I can tell we have our work cut out for us.

There has been such an incredible outpouring of interest from practitioners around the world, and it truly blows me away. I’ve been in conversation with applicants all month—answering questions, listening to their stories, and hearing why this residency feels important to them.

It reminds me of why we created this program in the first place. We felt that there was a need to create a container for practitioners to have the space, mentorship, and resources to tend to their own practice - and to themselves. And you’ve shown us this IS needed!

We only wish we could choose more than one person. We’re actively exploring ways to expand our residency offerings and create more community-led experiences where practitioners can receive support and learn from one another. So stay tuned!

A huge thank you to everyone who has already applied. And if you’ve been considering it, applications close tonight at 11:59 PM ET. There is still time to apply, and you can always drop us a DM if there’s a question we can answer.

Much love,
Meredith

As we enter the final days of applications for the Winter 2027 Healing Arts Residency, we’re revisiting a few of the inquiries that have stayed with us from last season.

“Do I trust myself and my community that we are fully capable of governing ourselves and taking care of each other with harmony, creativity and remembrance?” — Angela Angel, Oakland, CA (angel(a) • Nature As Muse • Owl’s Heart)

Angela is a traditional and holistic healing practitioner, medium, ceremonialist, multi-disciplinary artist, and gardener who has continued her Indigenous lineage as a traditional healer. For over twenty-five years, she has also worked as an organizer and facilitator, integrating healing justice, decolonization, and Spirit-guided frameworks into social justice movements.

Her residency inquiry explored building the new earth, collective healing, and how Spirit-guided leadership might continue to inform our work and everyday processes. She envisioned a participatory ritual and ceremonial space for tending to collective grief alongside collective imagination, supported by the elements, the plants, and the wisdom of our bodies.

We believe meaningful practice often begins with a meaningful question. What question is asking for your attention?

Residency applications close Sunday, August 16th. We’d be honored to receive your application. Link in bio.
