Lily Dale Assembly | August 2026
Our time together at Lily Dale was an invitation to listen a little differently - to become more attentive to the ways our relationships with animals may speak through the body, memory, emotion, intuition, behavior, and the quiet spaces between us.
You can return to the practices and resources below whenever you would like to reconnect with what opened for you in the workshop. There is nothing you need to recreate or get “right.” You might simply notice what feels alive now, what has become clearer with time, or what your relationship with an animal continues to teach you.
Your Workshop Resources
Workshop Handout
Return to the reflections, prompts, and practices from our time together.

Ethical Listening & Discernment
A grounding companion for intuitive connection, including consent, animal willingness, the distinction between observation and interpretation, and ways of holding uncertainty with humility.
A Gentle Selenite Blessing
Return to the blessing practice we shared using selenite as a symbolic anchor for clarity, intention, and discernment.

All Is Love
How Our Bonds with Animals Can Help Heal the Heart, Mind, and Soul
If our time together opened something for you around the ways animals accompany us, change us, help us heal, or continue to live within us long after a particular moment has passed, All Is Love carries that exploration further.
The book moves through the emotional, psychological, relational, spiritual, and sometimes mysterious dimensions of the human-animal bond - including attachment and belonging, nervous-system regulation, grief and continuing bonds, animal-assisted healing, intuitive connection, and the many ways loving another being can quietly reshape who we become.
You do not need to have attended the workshop in order to enter the book, and you do not need to hold any particular spiritual belief. My hope is simply that it gives you another place to listen, reflect, wonder, and perhaps recognize something about a bond that has mattered deeply in your own life.
For the bestseller promotion, the Kindle edition is $0.99 through Saturday, September 26.
A Question to Carry With You
What has an animal taught you about how to live, love, listen, or belong?
You may want to let that question stay with you for a while.
Sometimes the relationship keeps answering.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTINUE
A few ways we can gather again.
The resources above are yours whether or not you ever do anything else with me.
And if something in our time at Lily Dale opened a thread you would like to keep following, I have gathered a few places where we can continue.
There is nothing you need to choose now.

Coming Home to Yourself | A 55 Card Reflection Deck
Coming Home to Yourself brings together image, a core phrase, reflective inquiry, and a rhythm of noticing, practicing, and integrating.
If the reflection cards and visual world you encountered at Lily Dale felt meaningful, you can join the first-access list here.
Thank you for being part of these rooms with me.
I hope something here gives you a way to return - gently, curiously, and in whatever way feels supportive now.
