I love this! I’ve made my list and tonight I plan to write some of the “big ones” on my body. And then wash them off!!

Thank you, Erin, for your writings and work.

Here’s to a healthy, balanced 2025 and beyond!

Thank you for sharing this exercise, Erin. I didn't see it til after the solstice so didn't do it til later, but it's been really helpful. I plan to do it every so often for continued clearing and upkeep.

Thanks, Ellen. The awareness of roles and postures continues to reverberate here, too. I appreciate your comment. ❤️

I really loved this ritual Erin. I ripped up my long list and offered it to be composted at the base of my largest backyard tree. Interestingly two strips of paper with my most prominent roles written on them surfaced with many meandering ants. I had to cover the hole with extra dirt and leaves to complete the task. This morning I awoke feeling renewed, lit a candle, and celebrated Solstice with a walk along a river. Thank you for this offering.

Beautiful share, thank you Marisa! I'm sure you're aware that Ant medicine relates to Patience. 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

Thanks Erin. I found this a really good provocation and invitation to let go of everything. It certainly feels lighter already.

I will be in a ceremony tomorrow with my Earthaconter Community where I shall burn my list of roles/postures/habits as part of a ceremony hosted by one of our members
