Hilary Lake Healing Arts How can this affect my life? Earth
Connecting with the place and honoring the indigenous history and people of the land as well as our own ancestry.

Hilary Lake Healing Arts is cultivating a culture of connection by supporting empaths and caregivers to heal through life transitions and changes in nurturing relationship with all beings. Vision
In a world where there is collective trauma, embedded systems of oppression and therefore great harm and disconnection, Hilary is committed to co-creating inclusive and welcoming spaces for individuals an

d communities to honor the feminine, the body and the Earth as we remember our connection to and receive nurturing support from the web of life. Mission
We are all bridges between the Earth and the Sky in constant change with the elements and Hilary co-creates inclusive and welcoming spaces that allow for the shifts that are needed in our personal and communal lives to open to this nurturing relatedness with all of life. She does this by offering her healing arts community ministry in the form of body-mind integrative counseling, grief guidance, ritual and ceremonial guidance, astrology, speaking, sharing art, classes, workshops and retreats as well as healing products. By learning about and fulfilling unmet needs within ourselves and being compassionately present with the needs of others and our environment, we are able to take the risk to expand ourselves to create the change that we are called to create in our own lives and in the lives of others. Ethers
Cultivating awareness internally in both stillness and movement, sounding and silence to stay present with feelings and sensations while alone and in action in relationship with others. Discerning our needs and how to fulfill these needs in ways that honor all of life. Water
Cultivating intimacy with ourselves and others to create a sense of greater safety and trust in our lives. Fire
Discovering and owning our personal power, privilege, sovereignty, and capacity in relationship and in community. Air
Expressing our truth through creativity and in collaborative co-creation with others. Integrity
Honoring one’s authenticity in the moment within the current alignment and continuing to be curious about what else is possible. We are all on a healing journey in our own ways and no one heals someone else. We are simply able to support each other in our own natural healing process. Inclusion
Welcoming all aspects of self, beings, cultures, stories, identities, orientations and abilities as valuable and important. Creative Empowerment
Trust that we can all uplift ourselves through our own creative process

Balance
The ever shifting process of change that is a moving experience of equanimity and harmony. Interdependence
All is woven together in the sacred web of life.

Are you feeling the abundance of spring?

Mother Earth is so generous and gives to us all the time and especially this time of the year with the beauty of the ephemeral flowers.

I took a day to fill myself back up in the woods and it was just the medicine I needed.

How can you invite yourself to deeply receive and renew, even rebirth amidst this brief time of so much blossoming beauty?

The Earth and each ecosystem has a delicate balance just like us and yet if we can be in a reverent relationship with our body with the place/ecosystem where we are we can cultivate that balance together.

Sometimes the balance looks like rest and sometimes it looks like extravagant blossoming, sometimes like death and it’s always changing.

I’m feeling so much gratitude for the new life emerging in this time and for those who are sharing in it with me.

If you feel the need to cultivate more balance at this time, may nature be your guide. And if you need some human support, I do offer one-on-one Nurturing Balance sessions to share practices that make it easier to access your own inner natural guidance. We are all different and no one else knows what is best for us, and asking for support and guidance is essential on the path in my experience. Having some tools to practice on a regular basis can be a key to unlocking your own inner wisdom and receiving the wisdom from all around you too.

Learn more through the Nurturing Balance link in my bio.

May you feel deeply nurtured in belonging and balance where you and with the beings who you find and who find you.

Amidst this time of so much sun, growth and busyness, I can start to feel overwhelmed or exhausted very quickly if I'm not grounded and taking care of myself. And it's a practice I need to return to again and again each day.

How do we care for ourselves, our bodies and our souls in connection with the land and each other in authentic ways that can open us to more curiosity and wonder rather than judgement and stress?

How can we practice embodied wonder together and expand our experience of who we are?

Can we invite ourselves to practice blossoming like the flowers and learn from them as well as each other?

Join in embodying these questions in a practice space called Moving Resilience this Sunday, May 24th 3-5pm at the beautiful Dhaseleer Events Barn in Charlevoix to learn simple practices and explore finding playful expression and fun amidst taking care of your body and soul in community. This month the theme is Blossoming into Wonder 🌷

It's a donation based space for all bodies, abilities and ages that will be happening on a monthly basis this summer at this gorgeous organic farm. No need to register just come join us!

The next soul song circle is happening this Thursday, May 21st 7-8:30pm and it’s the last gathering in the octagon chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church for the season. We will meet in the Garden of Healing Connection at my home in the summer to be and sing with the roses and plants🌹

The theme this month is blossoming open and I’m feeling myself opening both tenderly and powerfully as the flowers are mirroring this expansion. I notice that it can be a lot for my nervous system and maybe yours too? We will be practicing some somatic grounding and resourcing skills to support our nourishing opening with choice and agency. We will also be singing sweet and empowering songs that honor the full spectrum of our experience at this time, the grief, the love, the joy, the uncertainty and the beauty.

How are you wanting to open to your fullness and celebrate in the beauty of life’s opening around you?

Join us, no experience with singing needed, just curiosity and willingness to be in the resonance and sound together. By donation and all donations are going to Shadi, a young man and his family in Palestine who needs our support at this time.

I’ve been connecting with and listening to the land in little spurts here and there between all the spring efforts.

Simply receiving the green new life is so nourishing and healing and celebrating and praising this new life helps me to feel it within too!

This song popped in just before Beltane and I’ve been singing it most days to remember to grow out, blossom and receive the sun like the plants at this time too.

How is spring blossoming through you?

I’m looking forward to the next soul song circle coming up Thursday, May 21st 7-8:30pm to celebrate our Blossoming Open together. It’s the last soul song circle in the chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church before a brief summer break.

We will meet for a summer solstice celebration as well at my home on June 18th with a potluck 6-7pm. DM me if you’d like the details on that.

As usual, come to receive our co-created resonance together, bring a song two and practice your blossoming in community. Learn more in the link in my bio.

I’m donating all funds received to Shadi for him and his family’s on going needs for food, medicine and care in Palestine. Please join me in supporting him as he cares for his family. The link to donate is in my bio.

May our hearts blossom open in loving compassion towards ourselves, each other and all beings.

The trees are standing tall and growing out their flowers and leaves into the spring.

How are called to also stand tall and growing out our flowers and leaves together?

This song came through while resting beneath a tree in September and I realized I needed to trust in the process of letting go, give away, nourish all and resting into the winter. On the other side of the year I’m viscerally feeling the call to stand tall, grow out, receive light and root down to prepare for the cycle all over again. This is the tree cycle and what we all go through each year to some extent with the trees. What if we were more conscious of this cycle and fully honored the light and dark?

How are you called to welcome in the light and to blossom into the spring with all that is opening around you?

It doesn’t have to look of be perfect, I’ve been giving up perfection more and more to actually receive what is and enjoy exactly what is. What does blossoming look and feel like without perfection ideals?

Come blossom into being human and sing with others who want to resonate in the beauty of being just who we are together.

The next soul song circle and last one in the chapel until the fall is Thursday, May 21st 7-8:30pm at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.

The theme is Blossoming Open and you’re invited to bring songs to share too or just enjoy being in the sound receiving song. By donation and for all voices and bodies.

How is the spring growing you lately?

Are you being called to expand like the grass and tender ephemerals to reach towards the sun amidst and after the deluge of the waters?

Who are you growing with in an intentional way and who would you like to grow with?

Growing together is the theme of the next Moving Resilience, the community movement gathering that I’ve been holding at Yoga Roots Petoskey on a monthly basis and we are coming together again on Friday, April 24th at 7pm.

Growing together requires a shared sense of safety in intimacy amidst feeling connected in the waters or emotions of life. Safety is a touchy topic, and for me safety is the ability to take the risk to be all of who we are. If I’m feeling safe, I know I can express myself openly. I may feel uncomfortable, I may invite others to feel uncomfortable, and there is acceptance of it all. We know we can return to a space of relative comfort and ease if we want to and we can take the risk to stretch ourselves too.

While intimacy is often used to talk about our relationship with another person, what if we focused on intimacy with ourselves while we are in relationship with anyone or any being, even a flower or a tree?

How can we be with all that we are feeling?
What if we are able to explore being with and moving with more curiosity about our experience of being in a body and in community as we welcome our emotions to guide us towards what’s most alive?

What if we can trust the movement of the spiral to guide us back into and out of ourselves into connection with others?

These are a few of the questions that I’ve been moving with and that we’ll be moving and exploring with together during the Moving Resilience gathering on Friday. There will be opening and closing circles with an hour long play list and gentle verbal guidance throughout. Donation based and no registration required. All are welcome!

and come move in community and grow together into the spring.

Join in the song a couple times this week in Petoskey!

First this Thursday, April 9th we will be singing at the soul song circle 7-8:30pm in the chapel at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The theme is Growing Together

How are you called to grow in community and with others to support each other and express who you truly are from your soul?

What is your edge that you are inviting others to support you at amidst how you are called to grow to support the collective?

Join us in these questions and expressions as we grow together with the springing world around us in gentle and resonant ways.

No experience with singing needed and all songs will be taught. Bring one or two songs if you’d like too! Donations appreciated and not required.

Also we’ll be practicing a few songs that we will share at a fundraiser for Immigration Law & Justice of Michigan to support immigrants who are being held in the Baldwin detention center which has been rescheduled to this coming Sunday, April 12th 2-4pm at the Chapel of our guardian angel 812 Petoskey St.

May we grow into our greater capacity to create the reality that we wish to see in the world!
