~rainbow mondays~ Radiant Living & Learning Retreat

Oh, Loves ♥

I had an incredibly magical weekend of unschooling gathering + fall nature.

The Radiant Living & Learning Retreat was like an unschooling mini-conference at a campground (a state park). It was a fund-raiser toward a service dog for the host's son who has autism. It was a beautiful opportunity to gather and connect on unschooling and bask in the soul-deliciousness of camping.

It was created by this incredible lady here:

me & Christina

There was no wifi or phone service at the campground, so I didn't take as many pictures as I might have if I had been in the sharing mindset, but here is a peek into our soul-refreshing weekend.

Pink: for henna with glitter

Gorgeous: for transformative sessions in nature with beloved goddesses

Black: for nature silhouettes against a breathtaking sunset

White: for a full moon bathing us in her rays of grace and fullness ♥

  

Yellow: for my first sacred women's ceremonial circle. Wow.

(made possible by kids playing and watching movies in the screened shelter next to us - mama bliss) 

 

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green: for the incredible fall backdrop of our weekend

 

Pink: for the color of the inside of the bunkhouse where these girls (and several others) had dance parties, giggles, and sleepovers :))

 

Blue: (their buddy Stone not pictured) for boys romping through the wild together for 4 days

(**photo credit not mine)

 

Red: for love and a teenager's right-of-passage

 

Red & Black: for the cutest ponytail EVER :))

 

Brown: for OM henna ♥

~rainbow mondays~ Sandy & Lily

Hello, my darling ♥

I hope you are really loving these rainbow mondays. It is such a treat to share juicy pieces (like pictures + colors) of this gypsy journey with you ♥

This last week, we have been enfolded into the beautiful loving home & life of our dearest Sandy and (her youngest daughter) Lily ♥

It has been so sweet to be here with them ♥ Sandy is absolutely incredible. We met a few weeks ago at the Goddess Harvest Meditation and Visioning that my sister, Osun, and I did. I knew she was a sweet treat then. We talked a bit about my road life, and she was so inspired, she went home and did her research, and then catapulted herself toward it!! It is so awesome to be here witnessing her fast-flowing journey of releasing her life as she knows it and her stuff, to embrace the simplicity and om of the road. She is so incredible, the way she just flows with it all.

We ♥ Sandy & 4-year-old Lily ♥

Jaja and Lily are little girls heaven and are IN little girls heaven. Thank goodness Noble has his toys and my laptop :))

So, without further adieu, our rainbow for the week...

Skin colors: for holding hands when they walk

 

Light & Dark: for hugs between new sisters

Pink & Purple: for sharing jammies and breakfast on the counter after a sleepover

 

Black & White: for kid-crafted wood race-cars

Purple & Black: for gymnastics together

Pink: for aerial silks in circus class

Red: for an impromptu puppet show

 

Pink & White/Black/Red: for movie dates in 3D

 

White: for Nanners, the sweetest doggie in the land

Red & Blue & Yellow & Green: for a good ol' fashioned game of Twister

~rainbow mondays~ Cedar Hill State Park

Hello, Love ♥

We are a little late to this party - I might need to just start calling it "rainbow days" LOL But this is our rainbow from the first week of November, at Cedar Hill State Park.

On a side note, camping is totally my zen. Oh, soul nourishment ♥

Brown: for those mud-covered hours-away-exploring zombies I found

Bonus: just in case anyone was wanting to know how to look like a Texan,

Noble says, you need to walk around chewing on these weeds in your mouth.

 

This has been Texan 101. Stay tuned for your regularly scheduled program ;)
