There are songs that grab your heart and immediately cause you drop everything right where you are and listen intensely...and this is one of those for me.
Please take a moment, pause and listen.
You'll be glad you did.
Peace,

Sometimes we find ourselves pushed into a “middle place”. That
uneasy, in-between space where it feels like nothing is settled and
everything feels discombobulated.
We try to stay busy to avoid it,
but sometimes the only thing that really helps is to pause, breathe,
and reconnect. To call the spade a spade...in full awareness.
I’ve
created a handful of tools — sounds, meditations, and practices —
to help you do exactly that.
Short, intentional practices to help you reclaim your energy and
reconnect with yourself.
Each one is just 5–15 minutes, no
meditation experience required — just press play and I’ll guide
you through it.
The Sacred “No” — A 5-minute guided meditation to honor your boundaries and reclaim your energy.
Return to the Wisdom Within — A 5-minute guided meditation to reconnect with the intelligence of your body.
Let
the River Reconnect You — A 5-minute guided
meditation to soften, release, and come home to yourself.
For those moments when you just want to rest in presence. You can press play and let nature do the work of settling your mind.
31 × 3-hour mountain stream videos — [Link to Best of Forest River Sounds playlist]
6 × 8-hour black screen river sleep videos — [Link to Best of Black Screen River Sounds playlist]
1 × 8-hour forest night sounds (frogs & night ambience) — [Link to Forest Night Sounds]
Crystal bowl meditations for deeper relaxation and reflection. Perfect to meditate to or just sit with.
3 sound bath videos (20–40 minutes each) — [Link
to Sound Bath playlist]
These are tools I use
myself when life feels too full, too busy, or just…off. Some are
free, some are available for a small exchange, but they all exist to
help you pause, reclaim your energy, and come home to yourself.
Take what you need. Leave what you don’t. Just press play.
Q: What do you actually do at an in-person Wildhearted Gathering?
A: The world we’re living in has stripped a lot down to “what’s the point” and “what truly matters.”
Here in Western North Carolina, Hurricane Helene made that
unmistakably clear.
So much of what we thought mattered quite
literally washed away.
And what remained was simple and
human;
neighbors checking on neighbors,
shared water and
thawing meat,
a hug from a stranger when words were too weak to
comfort our souls.
Not long after came the social and political upheaval of
2025.
I’ve spoken with so many people who are simply over
it—
over the noise, the rhetoric, the endless cycles of
division.
What I’m witnessing is a quiet shift.
A remembering.
Something is calling to the deeper parts of ourselves.
People are turning back toward what’s real.
Toward their
own inner truth.
Toward nature, community, spiritual practice,
and spaces where they don’t have to perform, defend or explain
themselves.
I for one am sick and tired of having to explain myself. In fact,
I’m done with that.
And I want to be around people who
just...get it.
You likely know exactly what I’m talking
about.
That is why Wildhearted Gatherings exist.
They are a place to slow way down.
To breathe together.
To
be held in a calm, grounded, intentional space.
We work with vibrational sound, the energy of color, guided meditation, quiet prompts, and questions that don’t demand answers—only honesty.
People often arrive thinking they need clarity or direction.
Most
leave realizing they already knew…
they just hadn’t been
given the room to hear it above all the superficial noise.
If you’ve been feeling a little numb, troubled inside,
or
out of rhythm with yourself—
this work may be what’s calling
you.

As
hope-dealers and light-bringers and bridge-builders, we all want to
experience purpose, inspiration and meaningful connection in our lives.
Drawing from the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Oriah Mountain Dreamer,
Julie Tallard Johnson, Gregg Braden, Dr. Joe Dispenza and many others,
this Wildhearted gathering will focus upon re-introducing a practice
called the “zero point.”
We will intentionally create a sacred
space by applying resonance of vibration principles, integration of the
power of color, intuitive selection, and guided inner journeying. This
gathering opens a doorway for you to reconnect the ancient knowing of
your soul with the grounded, human wisdom of your lived experience.
When: Sunday,
January 25th | 2–4 PM

Wellness and Movement Center, 1171 Spartanburg

*After reserving your spot, you will receive a confirmation email with details such as what to expect, contact info for questions, and the link to your FREE 12 page Mindful Meditation Guide and Journal PDF.
**This gathering is designed to be supportive, accessible, and
nervous-system friendly.
No prior meditation or spiritual
experience required.
You were never meant to forget the intelligence of your own
awareness.
So many of us were taught to fear our own instincts,
mistrust our inner voice, or exile the parts of ourselves that once
protected us. But restoration begins not by rejecting these parts — but by welcoming them home.
This gathering is a gentle, sensory-rich return to awareness.
Guided by the significance of Colour Mirror Bottle 12 –
Heaven on Earth and held under the leadership of the Orange
Dragons—elemental beings who support soul families, community,
belonging, and unity—we will explore what it means to live from the
Zero Point: the quiet inner meeting place where soul-self and
earth-self work as one.
Zero Point is not about changing
or fixing your inner world...it is about learning to rest in
awareness, where the body is felt, the mind is witnessed, and wisdom
and mindful presence naturally emerge.
Using the powerful Colour Mirror Wisdom Bottles—a proven system founded in South Africa in 2001 and used worldwide by complementary health and professional therapists for personal and spiritual transformation—participants will intuitively select a bottle from a table of 36, guided by color and number, allowing a uniquely encoded message to reveal itself as a mirror for inner awareness and reflection.
After settling into presence, the chosen Colour Bottle becomes a quiet companion for the experience. Its colour, energy, and wisdom will serve as an ally, mirror-to-self, and teacher throughout the guided meditation and inner journey.
Through sound, color, intuitive selection, and guided inner journeying, this gathering opens a doorway for you to reconnect with your own inner guidance system.
In this deeply held sacred circle, we will:
🎶 Sound Weaving — Arrive through a layered soundscape of grounding tones and expanding frequencies, designed to open the body-mind, soften the inner field and re-calibrate our body’s cells.
🔥 Zero Point Teaching — Rachel will introduce the Zero Point: the living bridge between instinct and insight, body and soul, human self and holy mind.
🌈 Colour Mirror Wisdom Bottle Selection — Jaci will introduce Colour Mirrors Wisdom Bottles. You’ll be invited to intuitively select the bottle calling to you; its color wisdom and zero point mirroring will serve as your companion and guide during the gathering.
🌀 Guided Inner Awareness — Rachel will lead a gentle guided meditation to remind of us our connection between body and earth. A grounding through body awareness exercise.
💬 Integration & Reflection — A space to share insights, ask questions, and root the experience into your everyday life.
🌟 Orange Dragon Blessing — We will close
with an invocation of the Orange Dragons to support unity, community,
belonging, and reconnection.
We are
living in a collective moment of remembering —
remembering our
instincts are not our enemy,
remembering our inner knowing and
guidance is trustworthy,
remembering that
awareness arises not from self-judgment,
but
from the simple act of witnessing with mindfulness and trust.
Bottle 12’s energy — Heaven on Earth — is the exact
medicine for this time:
the merging of above and below, the
ancient and the present, soul and human.

Wow! What a year 2025 has been. Year of the snake indeed!
So much shedding of what no longer fits into our lives...and into our world.
Onward and upward we go into the new year of the Fire Horse and 2026!
Wishing you all...my Wildhearted friends...a most wonderful and glorious New Year!
Cheers,
Rachel
For most of human history, we never saw ourselves as a whole planet in the mirror.
We looked up at the sky.
We tracked the stars.
We told
stories about the heavens and reached for gods and mysteries beyond
the clouds.
But we never saw home reflected back to us.
That changed only recently — astonishingly recently — when the first photograph of Earth from space was captured in 1946. The image was grainy and imperfect, but it stirred something in human awareness. For the first time, we glimpsed ourselves not as the center of everything, but as inhabitants of a small, luminous world moving through an endless cosmos.
A living ship.
A blue and white miracle afloat in the dark.
Since then, astronauts have given a name to the profound inner shift that often occurs when they look back at Earth from space. In the 1980s this experience was named, the Overview Effect — a cognitive and emotional transformation that arises when the mind is confronted with the whole planet at once.
Many astronauts describe it the same way.
They cry.
Because something ancient and deeply spiritual awakens inside us.
From orbit, Earth has no borders.
No flags.
No
ideologies etched into the land.
There is only a fragile sphere, wrapped in an atmosphere so thin it has been compared to the skin of an apple — a delicate membrane protecting all known life from the vast hostility of space.
Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and later founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, spoke of a spontaneous spiritual awakening upon seeing Earth from space. Others, like astronaut Ron Garan, have called it a great awakening — a visceral realization that everything we argue over, consume, destroy, and defend exists within an exquisitely thin shell of life.
Earth is constantly rotating.
The space station is constantly
moving.
To be in orbit is to be in motion — flying over
continents, oceans, storms, and seasons again and again.
Astronauts describe watching lightning flash inside massive storm systems like paparazzi cameras going off in the night. They see auroras ripple like luminous curtains. They observe atmospheric gases glowing against the blackness of space. The sun rises and sets every 90 minutes, no longer backdropped by blue sky, but by infinite darkness.
Eye candy for the soul.
So mesmerizing, in fact, that astronauts have a word for it:
Earthgazing.
During moments of free time aboard
the International Space Station, many are found simply floating at
the windows, watching our planet turn beneath them.
Just witnessing.
Problems that once felt enormous suddenly shrink.
Conflicts
reveal their absurdity.
The illusion of separateness dissolves
into thin air.
Ron Garan famously said that from space it becomes clear that humanity is “living a lie” — treating the planet as a subsidiary to the global economy instead of recognizing that planetary health is the foundation upon which society and economy depend. From orbit, climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss don’t appear as isolated issues. They appear as symptoms of disconnection.
Distance, it seems, changes everything. The God-view...if you will.
Perhaps humanity’s greatest mistake isn’t moral or technological, but one of perspective.
Maybe we don’t need more progress.
Maybe we need more
distance.
More ways of seeing ourselves whole.
Which raises a quieter, more intimate question:
It doesn’t require leaving Earth.
It doesn’t require
rockets or space stations.
A spiritual experience isn’t about escaping the body or transcending the world — it’s about remembering our place within it. When we encounter something vast, beautiful, or alive beyond our ability to control, the ego softens. The mind widens. The heart instantly recognizes belonging.
The Overview Effect is not reserved for astronauts.
It is a
human capacity.
Every time we glimpse the whole instead of the fragment…
Every
time we feel ourselves as part of a living system…
Every time
awe interrupts our certainty…
Something shifts.
We remember that Earth is not a resource.
It is not a
backdrop.
It is not a possession.
It is home.
And from within the heart of the Overview Effect, something deeper
becomes clear:
we live within a unified field — one people,
sharing one planet, held by Nature’s vast and intricate
intelligence.
And when we take in the sheer depth
and vastness of the cosmos —
with our eyes, our bodies, our
hearts —
something undeniable is felt.

learning more, I invite you to watch the 19-minute short film
Overview,
which explores this phenomenon through interviews with five
astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect.
