UPDATE: RETREAT AND REFLECTION
Two weeks ago, in my piece Entering the New Frequencies: Mapping the Unknown, I shared that I was about to begin a “stay close” retreat. I’d set aside ten whole days to assess the last year, listen more deeply, and sense how 2026 might unfold for me—and for my work.
Well, the retreat continues. I’m now on day fourteen.
Overall, this form of retreat has been about 65% successful. I’ve managed to set aside many distractions and most regular responsibilities (thanks also to Roger and Sophie). I still met important timelines and stayed available for channeling sessions, coaching consultations, writing for MANY PATHS Connected, and producing the next monthly transmission from The Collective.
What I didn’t anticipate was that the assessment wouldn’t be a simple look-back over the last year. Instead, it took me back thirty years—and it took about five days to unfurl. Here’s how it began:
I stumbled upon a folder of notes from channeled sessions and other readings I’d had between 1994 and 2009. I also found cassette tapes from my earliest sessions with a channeler in Los Angeles. Next, I bought a cheap tape recorder because mine didn’t work anymore—imagine that!
When I finally heard the tapes, I sounded so young…and definitely not deterred. I was in my element, fascinated by access to another realm.
The folder and tapes were filled with delight and magic. Opening them revealed threads to my present: consistencies across very different types of readings, insights into my divine blueprint, confirmation of past lives recalled since, and even predictions for my future—which, not surprisingly, came true.
So much that was conveyed then is now part of my lived experience. Things I didn’t quite grasp at the time—energy fields, frequency, star seed origins, wisdom from the Sirius system, multidimensionality, divine personal power, 5D and 6D consciousness, the divine feminine, heart space, grounding to Earth, what it means to be an empath, and channeling as part of my destiny—were all right there.
Some of it I dismissed at the time. In 1994, there weren’t many places to research Sirian star seeds or multidimensional experiences. Eventually, I filed it all away. Literally and, perhaps, subconsciously. Until it was time for all of it to come online.
It seems I needed to find my own way toward various points of activation over three decades. And the most poignant activations—so far—have occurred in just the last few months. Those old notes and tapes now serve as confirmation of what I’ve remembered about who I am at the level of my evolving, eternal soul, and how it’s time to allow all the fullness of that to emerge.
As I said in my previous post, it’s more energetically aligned to map the next destination than plan it. Mapping allows for flexibility in how you get there. Even during retreat, apparently. I mean, I’d allotted one day for assessment…
LOL.
Yes, the retreat continues, but here’s some of the fruit that has emerged:
Daily Energy Taps began arriving, each with a corresponding color. I’ve been posting them on Instagram, Substack Notes, and Facebook. Here’s Today’s Energy Tap:


ACTIVATION, The Collective’s December 2025 Transmission, dropped on my YouTube channel this morning—and right on time:
This month’s transmission arrived with a surprising intimacy, softness, and depth. You may find yourself unexpectedly moved, especially near the end. Settle in, take a grounding sip of something warm, and let ACTIVATION meet you where you are.
This retreat has reminded me of something equally essential—the power of slowing down.
Allow the rest of 2025 to unfold gently. Keep breathing deeply. Give yourself pockets of quiet as you prepare for 2026, and step into it with the full power of your whole being—because it promises to be one heck of a cosmic ride.
In joy and unity, always.
