Intuition

Cultivating inner knowing

A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:

Who am I beyond this skin I am in?

October 1, 2025

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:

What does pan-indigeneity look like, and how are different Indigenous communities showing up for their people?

The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:

Journaling,Time in Nature,Creating Music/Art

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:

Going out to Hobbiton with my friends in New Zealand!

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:

Getting sick and having to miss out on spending time with friends.

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

I originally assumed:

I used to think that having a sense of belonging was always tied to other people, and without people making you feel at home, you would never truly belong to a place or community.

October 1, 2025

These assumptions are changing:

Now I sense that belonging can come from inner-self. By having a deep relationship and knowing of who I am, I can feel at home within myself without needing validation from others, thereby creating my own sense of belonging.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:

Transitioning my housing arrangements last minute.

Compassion

Engaged Empathy

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

More small group sessions and reaching out to people via Circle or WhatsApp whenever I see a cool post or want to shoutout someone from a meeting.

Hobbit Hole

Matamata

Sep 28, 2025

Last weekend, I was able to visit the Hobbiton movie set in Matamata, New Zealand. As a huge Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fan, seeing this in person was a dream come true. Walking by a hobbit hole for the first time made me feel like I entered into one of my favorite novels, helping reignite the kid in me who loved reading, exploring, and dreaming of fantastical worlds. This sense of joy is what makes my trip to Hobbiton my magical moment of the month!
