Hello Reader.
Happy New Moon!
On this rainy morning I’m basking in a soft post-ceremony glow. Last night’s new moon gathering in the Sanctuary Circle was truly soul-nourishing. These gatherings are so near and dear to my heart. They are a time to lean into sacred conversation, attune to the current energy, and activate the hopes, dreams, and wishes stirring within our hearts.
In the midst of my summer slowdown, these moments of shared ceremony have been a beautiful way to stay connected . . . with community, with spirit, and with myself.
In the lingering energy of that ceremony, I find myself reflecting on the beauty of this season and feeling called to share some of the magic that’s been unfolding behind the scenes.
So today, I wanted to take a moment to reconnect and share a little of what’s been unfolding in my world . . . from lakeside musings to inspired creations and a few glimpses of what’s ahead.
This season, I’ve embraced a much slower rhythm. It’s been a time of disconnecting to reconnect . . . with myself, with the land, and with what feels most true in my heart. From long walks through the forest to eagle fly overs and afternoon swims in the lake, summer in the forest has been medicine for the soul.
🏕️ Forest + Camp Updates
Chris and I spent a lot of time sculpting the land in preparation for a new shed. From widening our northwoods driveway to moving over 20 tons of gravel (yes, really!), and tending to the curves and edges of the forest path we call home. It’s been heavy work, but the kind that leaves us feeling grounded, grateful, and oh so satisfied.
🐾 The Girls at Camp (Clover’s First Summer)
Clover has truly stepped into her forest-loving, lake-watching spirit. She’s taken to leash-free afternoons around camp, forest trail adventures, and the slow pace of life in the forest. And… Koda is having so much fun teaching her all about camp life. From treeing chipmunks to chuck-it time on the driveway. It's so much fun to watch Koda lead and look out for her little sister.
🦅 Nature Blessings
Time in the forest always offers rich nature experiences. This summer has been no exception. From waterfall hikes to finding four-leaf clovers, enjoying eagles flyovers on the lake, turkeys on the road, and deer on the trail. These moments feel special. They add a bit of magic and deeper connection with spirit.
💎 Creative Inspiration
This slow-down has also sparked something new in my creative world. One single piece of jewelry, designed with deep intention, inspired an entire new collection. It’s fresh, vibrant, and aligned with the energy of these shifting times. I can’t wait to share more this fall. I truly believe it will help amplify your vision in the world.

And a Soft Message to Close
This gentle season in the forest has reminded me of how slowing down, listening deeply, and letting inspiration arise from stillness makes a powerful ripple into our lives. Each day, I feel more attuned to what is right and true for me . . . and how that wants to breathe into the world.
I wish the same for you, that you feel supported and held by the natural rhythms of this season and nourished by whatever is unfolding in your life right now.
With love from the forest,
Lori

A little Clover update:
This week, Clover turns nearly ten months old!
She is learning so many new things and LOVES her time in the woods just as much as Koda does. She has a circle of dog friends that she plays with every day. And she is truly a crystal pup. Goodness, she even has her own collection of stones. Ha! Of course, right?!
If you’d like to follow along for some heartwarming pup moments & latest adventures, you can find us here:
