Hello Reader.
Recently, Chris, the girls, and I got up to the woods for a few days, and goodness, it felt so good to spend immersive time in the forest.
We were the first ones up for the season, and the lake was quiet.
Imagine being in a space so still that all you hear is nature around you — the whisper of the wind through the trees, raindrops on the roof, falcons feeding their young, loons taking flight over the water. I even took a refreshing dip in the lake . . . pretty sure I can’t call it a swim, but it felt so good to immerse part of myself back into those fresh spring waters.
Our life in the forest is so different from our life in the city.
We have a quiet little garden oasis here at home, but the penetrating silence of the forest reveals just how desensitized we’ve become to the background noises of everyday life — cars, sirens, traffic buzz, industry, people. The things our nervous system filters all day long create a constant stress on the body. And when they are no longer humming in the background, we can soften and rest at a deeper level.
We can also hear ourselves more clearly.
We can hear our own voice of inner wisdom and knowing.
We can access a deeper level of clarity.
And that is a potent place to make decisions from.
Our little weekend getaway stayed with me and became the doorway into this week’s episode of the Luminary Life Podcast.
🎧 New Episode: When the Noise Falls Away
In this episode, I lean into the wisdom of stepping away from the constant hum of daily life and into the quiet.
I explore:
- how constant background noise quietly stresses the body and nervous system
- why quiet can feel so clarifying
- how the spaces we tend begin to tend us back
- and what becomes possible when the noise falls away and we can finally hear what is true
This conversation also feels like a gentle threshold into the slower, more soulful forest rhythm I feel myself leaning toward this summer.

Sanctuary Circle
This is also part of why spaces like the Sanctuary Circle matter so much to me. It is a sacred space where we journey with crystal and stone allies, gathering around the new and full moon to receive insight, cultivate grounded practices, and be supported in community.
If you’ve been longing for a steadier rhythm and a place to reconnect with what is true beneath the noise, I invite you to learn more and join the waitlist.

a soft message to close
May you find quiet enough to hear yourself clearly.
May the old stories loosen their grip.
And may you trust what is gently, steadily asking to be created through you.
With love,
Lori
