This past week at The Untamed Gathering Place was slow, intentional, and deeply healing.

There was no rush. Just time to listen, tend, rest, and reconnect with what matters. The land has a way of offering exactly what is needed when we allow ourselves to slow down enough to receive it.

For that, I am incredibly grateful.

The time spent there filled my cup and allowed me to show up fully for two beautiful walks this morning. What a gift it is to be nourished by the very thing we hope to share with others.

🌿 Grateful for the land.
🌿 Grateful for the stillness.
🌿 Grateful for the people who continue to gather.

Water’s running through the dry creek yesterday… and it feels like such a gift.

The sound, the smell, the movement—
just standing there watching the mystery of water finding its way.

Something in me softens every time. 🌿

This space holds the rhythm of the journey.

Vision.
Creation.
Completion… and beginning again.

Everything is always in process.
Nothing stays the same.
And transition often brings grief.

I’m no longer pushing past that.

This space gave me room to feel it…
to grieve the dreams that came crashing down along with the trees.

And on the other side—
a deeper kind of joy and gratitude I hadn’t yet met. 💚

After the storms and all the destruction… this became the last place to come together.

I knew I wanted to create shade here—some kind of covering, a way to still gather, to still be held—but I couldn’t yet see how to bring that into fruition in a way that felt aligned and financially doable.

That’s where ME Construction Concepts came to the rescue.

From the beginning, they showed up with integrity, clear communication, and a level of thoroughness that is hard to find. Every step of the process felt honest and cared for.

But this space… it’s more than what you see.

It holds a lot. There’s an emotional layer here that’s hard to put into words.
And to have someone come in and meet that—with quality, respect, and intention—mattered more than I expected.

Now I get to move into the next layer… re-staining the deck, softening the space, and creating something that invites people in.

Not just to sit…
but to slow down, to feel, and to be held.

This one means a lot. 🌿

This weekend at The Untamed Gathering Place, that little cool snap on Saturday slowed everything down just enough to really take it in.

There’s something about the shift in temperature that invites a different kind of presence… a deeper appreciation.

Grateful for this land and the way she continues to change through the seasons—
and for the reminder that I’m allowed to do the same.

I came across this tree again on the land today, and it stopped me… again.

At some point something pushed it, bent it, changed its direction. But it didn’t break. It adapted and kept growing toward the light.

A quiet reminder from the forest: resilience doesn’t always look like standing straight. Sometimes it looks like bending and continuing anyway.

What comes up for you as you look at the tree?

This space reminds us that nothing here is wasted.
That what falls can still serve.
That even in loss, there is continuity.

We don’t rush past what was.
We sit with it.
We tend it.
We let it keep offering its medicine — just in a different form.

This is the heart of The Untamed Gathering Place.
A living reminder that healing is not about returning to what was, but allowing what is to become meaningful.

In time, this circle will hold tending.
Quiet gatherings.
Shared warmth.
And moments of remembering together.

For now, it stands—ready. 🌿🔥

Today marked the final burn of a sacred tree.

She was the tree I came around the corner and fell in love with—the one who guided the decision to place the deck in the heart of the cove she guarded. I made offerings to her. Leaned against her when words weren’t needed. She held my body, my hopes, my dreams.

When the storm came through on May 9, 2024, and she was lost, I knew this wouldn’t be a quick or tidy goodbye. Grief asked for time. Respect asked for patience.

Tonight, the page turned.

The burning of her was not ceremonial for others.
It was personal.
Just me, her, and Chopper.

As the flames did their sacred work, I honored what was—and what will be. This place will now become a fire pit. Benches made from her trunk and limbs. A place for warmth, story, silence, and shared presence. Her life continues, just in a different form.

Nothing was rushed.
Nothing was taken lightly.

Thank you, old friend.
You are still holding us. 🔥🌿

It’s been a busy morning out here.

A tree that had to be sacrificed so a neighbor could get power is now being repurposed—nothing wasted, everything honored. It’s hard, physical work for sure. There’s grief in the letting go and meaning in the making.

And still… the end result is worth it.
This is what stewardship looks like—care, effort, and trust in what comes next.
