My Civil Rights Pilgrimage to the Deep South
My Civil Rights Pilgrimage to the Deep South
Dody Adkins-Perry presenting In 2017, Dody went on a 9-day pilgrimage through Alabama, Mississippi, and Memphis, Tennessee. The Living Legacy Project says, “The Pilgrimage is so much more than a civil rights history tour.” The group did visit historic sights, but they also met with veterans there, working in small consciousness-raising groups dealing with our relationship to racism and white privilege.

Full Moon Meditation on Zoom
Full Moon Meditation on Zoom
with Natalie Johnson

This month’s Full Moon falls in the sign of Aquarius, the Water Bearer. Although often associated with the element of water, it is actually an air sign and the higher octave of Gemini. Both rule communication, but where Gemini can be impulsive, unbridled and spontaneous, Aquarius is more refined, tempered and discerning… choosing exactly the right words and phrases to convey one’s true meaning.
