The Sanctuary - Sacred Paths

08/25/2026

One of the medicines to come out of these three months of drought and complete climate collapse across western Europe (yes, collapse, that is the fu***ng word for what just happened here) is that we have had to listen to the land differently.

Or maybe not differently. More honestly. I don't know. Something.

The land was already talking. We were the ones not listening well enough.

So we are rebuilding all our berry gardens. From scratch. Not because they were badly designed (well kind of). Because the world they were designed for is not the world we live in anymore.

One garden for blueberries. One for currants and gooseberries. One for raspberries. One for blackberries, the one in the photo (work in progress, need mulching, cover crops, etc).

We are using permaculture and Syntropic principles now. Capturing every drop of water coming down the hill when the sky finally does open. Planting winter cover crops to feed the soil while the ground rests. Building living walls of drought-resistant plants that shade the more fragile ones behind them.

Is any of this going to be enough? I honestly do not know.

I don't think anyone knows.

What I do know is that doing nothing is not an option. Waiting for someone in a suit to fix this is not an option. Pretending the last three months were "just a hot summer" is not an option.

There is so much to do. In each of our lives. In each of our yards. On each of our balconies. In each of our conversations. If we want any kind of resilience going into the chaotic decades already unfolding around us.

Plant something. Learn one old skill. Meet a neighbor. Save water. Watch how the rain actually moves across your land or your street. Get your hands dirty. Get your grief in the soil where it belongs.

We don't have to figure it all out.

We just have to start.

And keep going.

Even when we don't know if it will be enough.

Especially then.

Collapse is not a theory anymore. It is here.

Biodiversity gone. Insects gone. Water gone. Soil gone. Quality of life gone.

And now the heat waves are hitting our actual capacity to work. At 40°C, whole sectors of the economy just stop. That is not opinion. That is physics.

And this is only the beginning.

After the heat waves, the storms. The floods. The fires. The Mediterranean at nearly 30°C. The Atlantic running abnormally hot. The climate is already loading the next round.

Meanwhile we keep talking about growth, jobs, technology, as if the laws of physics are going to negotiate with our electoral cycles.

They are not.

The most disturbing thing is the collapse of our certainties. No, tomorrow is not necessarily going to be better. Not automatically. Not by default.

So the real fu***ng question is simple.

What are we going to let collapse? Our ecosystems? Our conditions for life? Our children's future?

Or the old models that got us here in the first place?

Friends,

Today, Sunday June 21st we come together online for a Solstice ceremony. The longest light of the year, the great hinge of the wheel, one of the oldest nights to stop and come to balance. It's going to be beautiful.

It is live AND RECORDED if you cannot make the time (you still will have access to the RUnes journey, Shamanic Breathwork, Guidance for this portal)

Come stand in the doorway with us if you feel the call:

Hey friends, new essay just dropped 🦌🔥

It's called "The 5 Fires to Tend in 2026" and honestly it might be the most practical thing I've written in a while. Five ancient fires, each with a practice, and a printable pocket guide at the end you can stick on your fridge or your altar or wherever your eyes land when the week gets heavy.

Wrote it at 6am after making the mistake of opening my phone before the shutters. The world is a lot right now. But so are we.

Here it is: https://angelldeerwisdom.substack.com/p/the-5-fires-to-tend-in-2026

Share it with whoever needs it.

Prayers for all of us in these wild times.

An animist field guide for those of us still awake, still feeling, still here.

This Thursday we gather for the Wild Hearth, our monthly online circle with Rose Wollf. Two hours by the fire together. If you've been carrying something heavy and need a place to set it down, even just for one evening, come sit with us.

It’s ONLINE live and recorded (in case time don’t work for you)

Hey everyone,

I just published something I've been sitting on for a while.

A free guide called Five Truths They Never Told You About Turning Your Gifts Into a Living. The visibility wound. The money wound. Why your business needs to be an ecosystem, not a desperate single crop. All of it.

If you know a healer, a practitioner, a teacher who's carrying real gifts and struggling to make it work, send it to them.

That's who I wrote it for.

Seven animist practices for remembering your relationship with the living world. Written from our farm in Burgundy. No fluff, no spiritual bypassing, no theory. Just 7 real doorways you can walk through, and that I believe will bring you deep support (we need support right now…).

- Greeting the land.
- Making offerings.
- Sitting with a tree.
- Reading signs.
- Listening to the more-than-human world.
- Tending your ancestors.
- Protecting your sacred space.

For you. Restack this post for friends to find it too :)

Let it change you.
